Sure we are. [ All living together in a cute little suburb with cute little houses, and it's definitely not at all strange that he ranked a house this close to yours, considering all the people you know. ] But can you humor me for just a sec, and tell me — do you remember being brought out of it?
[ Because maybe you didn't, maybe you won't. Maybe this is something only the dream divers are going to remember. ]
[ Imagine a dreamworld where you still give yourself financial anxiety. ]
—Well, not that I remember, anyway.
[ Easily. And only slightly watching Izzy's face for any hint of a Reaction. Maybe too subtle, but he feels like this scenario should have them all with their memories fully recovered. ]
Where I'm going to hang out tonight, obviously. They recently put new lights up at the garden so you can explore it at night too, so I figure I can sleep all day and check out one of those places.
Not everyone's attached to their old names. Some people learn them and decide to stick with the name everyone on Production used, so I figured that was why.

If you're just going to talk about this kind of thing, can't you ask someone else? I was trying to catch a break on my day off, you know.
no subject
Your day off from what?

—Right, my bad.
[ Can't completely resist asking: ]
That... pays well, I'm guessing?

But enough about business! I just remembered - have you ever been to an amusement park before?

[ Beat. ]

I'll see you then.

Hey. Stupid request, but. [ There's a whole nameplate on his door, and. ] —Could you call me by my real name?
[ This whole setup screams 'it's been years', right? So, shouldn't he... ]
no subject
What is it? You never told me.
no subject
That's kind of sad. How long have we been neighbors?
