: The answer is: nowhere. But you need a name in Latin scripts anyway, and a direct transliteration is the last option.

Where do we get that the title is Aletheia? --NepetaLeijon27 14:49, 2 February 2020 (UTC)

The answer is: nowhere. But you need a name in Latin scripts anyway, and a direct transliteration is the last option. NA Trailer used "Alicia" instead, but I don't think it is necessarily the correct one despite it is official, considering every song in PMMM series so far has a certain meaning, while "Alicia" is no more than a female name which has never appeared anywhere in the series. In contrast, "Aletheia", as the antonym of the OP "deception", has a certain meaning, has its synonym appeared in its lyrics, is the origin of the name "Alicia", and could be found in Japanese Wikipedia. In conclusion, Aletheia is probably the best choice for now. --HOOCCOOH (talk) 13:16, 3 February 2020 (UTC)
