Context: I am visiting a high school friend. Another friend who we both knew in high school has posted some interesting things recently. This friend has changed their name, but the friend I am visiting is not following them and is not aware of their transition.

How do I bring up this friend without dead naming them?

Sarah Morgan is the name of a character from the game Starfield, a Science Fiction self-titled "Nasapunk" role-playing game by Bethesda softworks that just released in September.

Ah, yes, I'm aware of Starfield, just not that there's someone named Sarah Morgan in it. I legitimately just picked a generic first and last name.
