He doesn't really expect to hear his own name. It was a weird feeling, waking up back in this place and immediately knowing that there were people here he knew and loved, people here he had started to trust like he never really trusted anyone but Sully back home. He knew that, even as it seemed entirely at odds with the life he also knows he's been living with Elena, but worse than that confusion had been spending his first day back here looking for them and finding all of them gone.
Chloe is gone, Coop is gone, Lila, Beth, Poison.
Somehow, it feels like being even more alone than he was when he first came here not knowing a damn soul.
So he doesn't expect to hear his name. There's no one left who would remember it, he thinks, but when he looks up he connects the dots quickly enough. Maybe they've never met, but he's heard stories enough, been in close enough proximity that he can put the pieces together without too much effort. God knows, he solves puzzles for a living.
"Yeah," he confirms, closing the journal and looking up. "Yeah, that's me. Therese, right? I remember you." He gives her a wry smile, tucking the journal back into his pocket. "To be honest I was starting to think this place'd upped and started its population from scratch."
