[Later that day, another letter appears in response. It's equally undecorated, because Papyrus is following a strict 1 card per holiday per person policy.]
DEAR YUKIO OKUMURA, THANK YOU FOR THE WELL WISHES! I CAN'T DESCRIBE MY RELIEF KNOWING WE HAVE REAL TRAINED DOCTORS AGAIN. GOING WITHOUT WORRIED PEOPLE, EVEN IF NOBODY SAID SO. I HOPE YOU AND YOUR BROTHER STAY HEALTHY TOO!! AND PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU WANT ME TO CALL YOU OKUMURA INSTEAD. IT'S OKAY! I'M ALREADY USED TO CALLING GONGENZAKA, GONGENZAKA. WHATEVER YOU PREFER!
[And now it's time to switch from formal letter format to casual notes format (or, as casual as Yukio ever gets).]
Where I am from, people are usually called by their family names. It is rare for those outside of close friends or family to call you by your given name. I understand that calling people by their given names is common in other places, but I still prefer to be called Okumura.
THEN, OKUMURA IT IS! FOR YOU. I NOTICE YOUR BROTHER NEVER ASKED ME THE SAME THING. DOES HE GO BY HIS GIVEN NAME TO HELP DIFFERENTIATE, WHEN THERE'S AT LEAST TWO PEOPLE WITH THE SAME NAME? OR IS THAT JUST A RIN THING?
- PAPYRUS (THAT IS MY GIVEN NAME, MY LAST NAME IS INACCESSIBLE)
