Ooh, I should probably change that. I originally meant to write an
explanatory story using a boy named "tomo", and then in the original
four charts (now two) I used four siblings named "sena", "pono", "tora"
and "leni" (whose names are variations on the numbers 1, 2, 3 and 4).
So that's where tomo and tora came from. They're just names and are
inappropriate in the context.

Yeah, that would be a problem. Maybe I can make the lines around them
bolder.
