Well, it was inspired by a song title: "That's how I knew this story
would break my heart", sorry guys, I should've been more clear.
Anyway, thanks guys, I really appreicate the help. It's starting to
crystalize in my head. I think "That reason" works well for Ayhan
(even more so since it's inspired partly by Indonesian. Funny how
obvious all of this looks in hindsight :).
I think i'll create it as a compound, since I adore compounding and so
does Ayhan.
