[manufactured]

Seeing as you're insisting on serving as my fear response, I imagine it's only fair that I keep you honest.

[scythegun]

I suppose you do have a point there!

[manufactured]

I still maintain that you don't have to do that in the first place, but if you're going to insist I suppose the least I can do is make your life slightly more difficult for it.

[scythegun]

Well of course, you might as well! Who knows, maybe you'll get lucky and I'll rethink this plan!

[...but probably not given how annoying he's being.]

[manufactured]

Oh, don't get my hopes up.

[scythegun]

Isn't this the part where you tell me not to lie?

[manufactured]

Oh, I don't know. With that statement, you seem to be policing yourself well enough.

[scythegun]

Only for you, Albert! You're very lucky I think so highly of you~!

[manufactured]

...Likewise, given that you're one of the only people that gets away with calling me that.

[scythegun]

I'll consider myself very lucky, then! It does have such a nice ring to it!

[manufactured]

...If you say so.

[no seriously he just didn't complain about it when it was assigned to him because he literally didn't care

it's not really something he thinks about]

[scythegun]

Of course I do! It's not quite as nice as my own name of course, but not much really can compare!

[manufactured]

[...]

Gunther, however.

[scythegun]

[...]

It's just a terribly unfitting name, wouldn't you agree?

[manufactured]

[...]

It's actually not the worst thing I've heard, in fairness.

[scythegun]

Well no, it's certainly not the worst! It's just not a very good fit for me.

[manufactured]

...I understand. Mine wasn't terribly suiting, either.

[scythegun]

[Hmm...]

Ja, you're right. You're much more of an "Albert" than a "Noah"!

[manufactured]

...Honestly, I don't think I'm either, but at least "Albert" is a bit less aggressively Catholic.

[scythegun]

So you're just a "Wesker", then?

[manufactured]

[That...kind of gives him pause.]

You know, it didn't occur to me until just now that that's fundamentally strange, actually.

[...

He should probably elaborate.]

Do you happen to know if the person whose memories you're seeing has the same name as you?

[scythegun]

Oh, yes, he does! He goes by "Jaeger", at least. I don't know if that's his real name or not.

[HE DOESN'T REALIZE IT'S SPELLED WRONG YET...]

Is that man also "Albert Wesker"?

[manufactured]

[He knows for a fact about the surname, but he has to consider for a brief moment on the given name...but yes, Excella called him "Albert" constantly, so - ]

He is, but that wasn't his name from birth - it was the name given to him by the old man. All of the children he was using had that particular surname; I don't know what determined the given names, but 'Albert' was mine.

...I just find it odd that both he and I would be named that specific thing, given that in both circumstances it was an arbitrary name handed out by a third party.

[scythegun]

That's such a bizarre coincidence.

[It seems a bit too much to be a coincidence, but that's what it has to be, right?]

So was he "Wesker" or "Albert"? Or something else entirely to distance himself from the old man?

[manufactured]

...I believe it was "Wesker," almost exclusively. I don't think he knew anything about what the old man was talking about until he was told, so there was no need to distance himself from it.
