chapter 25 (book 1) of

Hills of Silver Ruins, a Pitch Black Moon.

This chapter begins with a good example of how pronouns in Japanese reflect social relationships. Shouwa uses the honorific

–dono with Heichuu, even while bossing him around. She always refers to Taiki by his title,

Taiho, and never a pronoun. But she addresses Kouryou as

anata, the plain pronoun "you," which presumes a lower social status than herself.

The

Taisai (太宰) heads the Ministry of Heaven.
