Stranger.

"Greetings. My name is Stranger. You may ask me things, if you'd like. I have all the time in the world to answer."

"I... suppose you're right. I hadn't even realized what the date was, nor is my birthday something I think about often."

"I will admit, though... It is quieter than I am used to. There are no wandering STRANGERs around, and I'm not immediately seeing any other BLACKSPACE folk. ... I was enjoying the company of MARI and OMORI, too." "I suppose I feel a bit lonely, but it is okay. I shall persist."

("That usually happens in WHITESPACE, not here... No reason not to check, though.")

"...Welcome again."

"I think that I may try asking somebody who would know. ... I'll get back to you on that."

"Greetings, ALLIE. My name is STRANGER. I have not seen you around before..." ("Reminds me of AUBREY a bit...")

"AUBREY? ... Greetings, I suppose. I am surprised you are able to interact with me, but my name is STRANGER."

[HEADSPACE has gone through another reset. OMORI is no longer available for asks.]

("...and your knife wouldn't work... why, exactly?") [A package was sent to OMORI.]

anyways. go yap.

"I don't... know why he wants a new name. Maybe, like... Flower?"

"I... do not know what you are talking about. I beg your pardon?"

"...what foolish behavior. Writing letters to me is not something you should be focused on in the middle of a fight. I suppose I cannot stop you, though."

[OMORI looks lost in thought... He doesn't attempt to help.]

"Not from my observations, no. If I had to guess, it is mostly due to the fact that BLACKSPACE is tearing apart HEADSPACE simply by existing. BLACKSPACE is essentially how it's always been. This has only happened... once or twice, perhaps."

"...I guess that doesn't matter. The symbolism of petunias is... rather confusing. Sometimes they represent anger and resentment, yet other times, they can represent the phrase 'being with you is soothing.' It just depends on the situation, really. I'll think about it."
