      444

      Out of curiosity I looked up “444” and there’s a bunch of links saying it means a guardian angel. Appropriate?

        4 is avoided in Chinese and Japanese. Although contextually its not too far off the mark in this case.

        in JP, 4 sounds like ‘shi’, meaning death. 43 sounds like the word for ‘stillbirth’. (‘shi’ also means particle, or also emoticon) In China, 4 = ‘death’, 14 = ‘must die’, 24 = ‘easy to die’

        It sounds like what you’re reading is an “angle number.” I’m not sure if that’s what’s referenced above.
