[People always have varying degrees of reaction to the mention of Bruno's death and Bruno's learned to accept them in whatever form they take. But his shirt changing its pattern a little is certainly a new one, so that Bruno hesitates a moment before speaking again.]

No need to apologize, [he says with a small shake of his head. Because there truly isn't when he's long since made his peace with it.] I died on April 2nd, 2001 the first time. Gold Experience gave my body enough life to last four more days beyond that, so I died again on April 6th, 2001.

[Which is both true and somewhat an over-simplification of how he died the second time. But he asked for dates, not the specifics of his deaths, so.]
