In literature, the term "query" serves not only as a straightforward request for information but also as a multifaceted device that can heighten tension, invite reflection, or even challenge established norms. In some works, a query is a blunt demand for identity or clarification—as seen when a character is abruptly confronted with "Who are you?" ([1]) or queried about details that carry social or political weight ([2], [3]). In other texts, it functions as a contemplative prompt, nudging both characters and readers to consider deeper existential or historical questions ([4], [5]). Additionally, its use in formal correspondences or editorial annotations—such as noting a word’s unusual usage ([6], [7])—demonstrates an adaptability that spans from dialogue to metatextual commentary. This rich versatility allows "query" to act as both a narrative catalyst and a stylistic marker across varied literary genres.
