He should be able to call it an it if he wants to. An opinion is like a face, we all have one.

Her an it? And I suppose. But if you think scientifically, no matter what she is (spirit, subconscious), she doesn't really consist of matter, so she could not be considered "IT". If she is a shared dreamer (highly doubt), spirit, or even a person from another planet then she is still a person and not an it. That is kind of like saying "In my opinion, you are an it.", would you like that? No matter what she is, it is probably pretty safe that she is a conscious being and has her own chunk of intelligence (If she is a living entity, or even if Hyu's sub-conscious gave that to her when it/he created her).

BTW, I am not trying to argue, I am simply stating my point of view.

Using that logic, she couldn't be considered a 'she' either. In fact, 'it' would actually be the closest thing to accurate in that case. The fact that we don't truly know the nature of this entity means that we can't give sway to either option of naming; we have to use our own definition.

But "SHE" doesn't have to refer to a real person, just a personality or a character. If you read a book and there is a female character, it is correct to say "SHE", and in most cases the characters are completely made up. With Yuya here, if she is a real entity it is correct to say "SHE" and not "IT", if she is something his sub-conscious made up, then like a character in a book, it is proper to say "SHE" and not "IT".

I know I started it, but I cannot believe we are arguing about pronouns.

Like I said, it doesn't matter.
