I did. I listened to all of it. Who cares if we have a "sense of self" if we're still just them?

"Seventeen, I think."

“Because we’re not!”

Spren helpfully flitted into view

“Wow.”

“Wow.”

"Yup."

“That’s— well, I meant—“ 

He sighed, frustrated with himself. 

“Well, for one, my Author isn’t a boy.”

Aden leaned back and stared at the sky.

Irie relaxed a little in the silence.

Irie relaxed a little in the silence.

“So…” 

His face brightened. 

“If my Author were me, I’d be Rose too. Would you say I’m like Rose?”

She sniffed.

Goodness, no. But . . . you could just be different aspects of your Author, I guess.

“You really think she could be me and Rose at the same time?”

He frowned. “I dunno. Maybe. But that doesn’t make sense to me.”

Why not?

She hugged him.

It makes perfect sense to me.

He sighed. "Look, Irie I know you don't like me, and Aden you don't remember me whatsoever, but can you two at least try to -" he spurted before screeching began in his ears. Images flashed by one by one. People he didn't know. Places he'd never been. He whimpered slightly while digging his hands into the sides of his skull

She shrugged.

Your Author just puts different pieces of herself into different . . . characters.

He frowned. “But…” 

“You’re thinking about it wrong,” Spren chirped. “Characters start as seeds. They start as pieces of her, but grow into something she has to learn to understand.”

He shook his head slightly. More people. Places. Things. It's all a blur, but he could make out one thing. Jericho. Then it just stopped. His eyes widened. "Irie. We need to go to the dock. Now"

Bat frowned. “I don’t get that.” 

His brain hurt from the whole discussion. It felt like mental gymnastics. 

He wished he could just… wrap her head up with a bandage or give her some pills… 

He wished he could fix this.

“There’s some in the back,” Aden said absently, thumbing through the license and registration.

He kind of wanted to agree with her just to be done with the conversation.
