Library, Wednesday

Sholeh and Zeela had started a small ritual. Whenever one woke up, they would immediately confer with the other about small things. Little details chosen at random. If they agreed on what they remembered, they'd escaped whatever the latest bout of...Fandom...ness...that was currently...Fandoming. If they didn't agree, they promised not to waste time trying to figure out which one of them was 'right.' It hadn't happened yet, but it comforted Sholeh to have a plan.

Along that same vein, she was still setting out books for any researchers that decided to wander through. This week, she pulled out books about memory, memory spells and charms, and amnesia. That wasn't the same thing as whatever was happening, with people actually changing who they were (Sholeh and Zeela both agreed that Cecil hadn't been an adult when he'd started school and certainly didn't have tentacles!), but it was somewhere to start.

"Noooo," Sholeh said, now looking fretful. Unconsciously, she started wringing her hands. "We're Sholeh a Zeela. We never had a third sister."

::Right?::

=Right,= Zeela soothed. =Neither of us remember having one.=

::So then why does everyone else?::

Zeela had no response to that.

Yeul's serenity, and her faint smile, didn't fade, though she tilted her head a bit more thoughtfully. Her eyes were considering.

"I think that the island has, perhaps, gotten to both of you as well," Yeul said carefully, but honestly. "I would not tease about something like this, Sholeh. Zhari is someone I remember. I have celebrated your birthday with all three of you, and invited the three of you to my home. This change is... one I am not certain of."

It didn't seem like it was harming them, exactly, but one of them was missing, like she'd never existed, and wasn't that a sort of harm in and of itself?

Sholeh bit her lip and shook her head. "I don't remember," she said softly. "I remember our birthday and visiting your home, but I only remember it with Zee and you and me and Evan. There was no one named Zhari, no third sister. I don't know what to think. It's always just been me and Zee."

"This must be the island," Yeul said reassuringly. "Perhaps you are as you always have been, but there was another world, where there were the three of you, and the island has become confused as to which of you belong in this Fandom."

She reached out to touch Sholeh's arm lightly, wanting to offer a bit of comfort. "Would you... the both of you, I mean, like to see pictures of Zhari?" she asked, a bit unsure if she should. "I think I have some."

Back in the dorms, since she hadn't thought to bring any, having seen no reason to...

"I..." Sholeh honestly had no idea how to answer this question. Did she? Did she want to look at a stranger who, in some universe, was her sister?Closer than any one-faced sisters could ever hope to be? "I don't know," she said. "It might feel weird."

Very weird.

"None of this makes any sense. She has to be from some other universe. We couldn't possibly be three! Our mothers are two-in-one, our friends, our neighbors...It's always a pairing of two!"

But then why did everyone in this universe know this other sister, this third?
