N...nya

I just noticed that if you find out the real meaning of Tequila Sunset while on a date with Lilienne and decide to reintroduce yourself as Harry (Disco Elysium spoilers incoming)…

She will call you Harry after the tribunal.

That is such a change from Idiot Doom Spiral, who expressly refuses to call us by our real name, even after we formally introduce ourselves.

In a way, then, I think Lilienne is our hope that we'll get better. A hope for a better future. Idiot Doom Spiral meanwhile, is the representation of what we were. What we can remain. What we can become, if we aren't careful.

And we can choose. We can tell people who we are. Harry, or Tequila Sunset, or we’re not really sure.

So though I must object to much of Mega Rich Light-Bending Guy's ideas, I have to agree with this:

Names can change the reading of a person.

They can change a person.

They can change us. Whether we try to reverse time, or end it, or push forward, despite everything.

Because remember: Our name means something.

It was meant to keep us safe.

i have my petty qualms with the cowboy dante rooms but i do like the tidbit where we learn that, on the night of the riot, after his carriage was set ablaze and he ran into the desert, he spent his night and subsequent nights getting spooked and fleeing from the sounds of howls traveling across the desert
