[ He doesn't turn back when Gen calls out one last time, though his body does still, long enough to signal that he has in fact acknowledged the implicit unspoken question.
Unlike before in the cavern, with Abel and Ernesto, there's reason enough to give his name now. They're comrades of an unlikely and forced sort, with plenty of opportunity to see each other given the agreement they've both settled on.
