spaghettimonster: (OH-HO!)

It's a familiar sort of humor, that factual statement of something grim wrapped up in a laugh and dismissal. Something typical of the people back underground.

The grim thing being more forgetfulness - and the thing being something as important as how Hanako... died? (double-died?) is a new twist to this whole afterlife thing, but one he's sure he's growing accustomed to.

But it's polite not to press about truths admitted like that, so he's setting the thought aside in time to have his full attention back on: a name suggestion!

"Number Two... I like it!!"

By now he's used to none of the suggestions clicking with him right away, and in that regard this one's no different. No spark of familiarity, no rush of memories flooding back.

But unlike the other times, he isn't distracted by even a little disappointment on the matter. Unlike most of the others, this one's not trying to be a proper name - it's a title, and one that invites a connection with the online handle it's clearly matching. With that sense of welcome further buoying him, he grins brighter than their surroundings.

"You're welcome to use it indefinitely! Even if I recover my name any time soon, that can always go on a nametag instead."
