  • This is hard but the line is basically whether is start seriously wondering where they're from, or maybe that a movie would use that way of speaking for an American and nobody woke question it

Notes on timing

  • Once the name is announced and 24 hours have passed I'll begin resolving items related to identity. I won't resolve ones such as "they refuse or end up not accepting" until later though.
