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
