Neither of us is really 'the original Atsushi'. We became like this when we were summoned as a spirit - the kind of spirit we are is influenced by our books and what impact we've left on our weaders. It's why the children's book authors were summoned as children. We're summoned from the memories attached to our books, and that doesn't make us perfect copies of the human who lived decades ago.
...But he's always put me first, for as long as we've existed like this. He doesn't usually take over except to fight, or if we're hurt badly he'll stay in control afterward to spare me the pain. So he doesn't do much socializing, and I guess he never felt like he needed his own name.
