I really liked your meta post on Kaiser's name, so I was wondering what your thoughts are on the idea of Kaiser having changed his last time?

It was the boy who was abused who became Michael Kaiser." got me thinking again. I like the idea of him reclaiming his name, but I can easily see him wanting no association with it or that man ever again.

It was also explicitly mentioned that āMichael Kaiserā was the name the thief gave to the police to frame him.
