I like "Passage" because it teases! Without knowing exactly where you are
planning to take Dag and Spark, it's difficult to choose an interpretation,
but that's why I like it. It makes me wonder...
There are a number* of possible ways to parse it, including: 'transit',
'permission to pass', 'a route', 'a fare', 'enactment of a law', 'a voyage',
and (my favorite!) 'rite of passage: an act or event that serves to mark a
change in status'**.
Speculating wildly,
Nancy
