I don't think the Sou he knew should be immortalized. At the same time, he did reject "Shin". ... Or, Magenta did. Teal seemed emotional earlier, being called that.

[Hmm.]

It should be something that's the sum of all of his parts, maybe? Maybe we should ask him...

Names don't have to be that complicated. I knew a guy who went by "Hero" because he liked sandwiches.

[So like,]

[...

a guy named after a sandwich. what in the--]

...That is a fair point, actually. Meaning I guess is what you make of it...

There's also a guy who keeps trying to get us to use the name "The Maverick" for him.

[The is included because it's important, apparently.]

Names are whatever you make of them. There's people who shorten them all the time, too. Kim instead of Kimberly, stuff like that.

Do not combine Sou and Shin into one name, it sounds silly if you try.

... Hikaru, maybe?

( "light". sunlight, or moonlight. )

I-I think we'd want to come up with something a little more dignified than that...!

[what would that even be??? shun? sui? ssohiun?????]

Tsukimi means moon viewing, right? And Hiyori means clear sky...

...Hiyori Tsukimi? That actually is kind of a nice name, now that you mention it...

Sounds like a person from an anime.

Is...there something wrong with that...?

[...atem i'm so sorry that you're saying this to the girl who was literally raised by tv, she sees nothing wrong with this and seems to just be the human embodiment of ?????? rn]

It doesn't sound ridiculous to you..?

[says a man who once called himself YUGI MUTOU]

Not even slightly? I think it sounds like a pretty, meaningful name!

[sayaka's whole name literally just means sound garden. who is she to even judge tbh

~~ignore that her last name is myste now~~]

I hadn't been called 'Shin' in so long, it probably made that part of me feel happy to hear it.

How about Shingetsu then? You know... Like the new moon...?

[don't actually do this]

If you want a new name. It's your choice.

[He will. Think on this for a while.]

If Kanna survives the death game and comes looking for me, I'd like her to be able to find me. So either "Sou Hiyori" or "Shin Tsukimi" is fine, she knows both of those are names I have gone by.

Then let's stick with Shin.

[Boom, decision made.]

Then, Shin.

( FUCK sou hiyori, all my homies hate sou hiyori )

Then keep both.

It's only modern convention that we go by first and last name. Some people have three. I happen to have five.

[Just staring like this.]

[WHAT!!!

...Fine.]

Or go by Shin... the choice is yours.

Much better.

Well. You're also a Pharoah.

Eh, I'm just a guy here.
