eyes darting around nervously "Y-you're... um, wow. You look just like... Do you like coffee?"
Ghtsenet
Yes, what's on your mind?
takes a deep breath, trying to calm herself I... I've been looking for you. It's, uh, about our parents. They... they never told me about you.
Ghtsenet
That's because I don't exist he makes his hand disappear and reappear behind her ear and she feels the tip of his finger brush against her arm
jumps back, startled Whoa! What the hell?! Don't do that! shaking her head Okay, okay, let's focus here.
Ghtsenet
I'm real dear
tries to regain her composure, but her voice wavers R-real? But... but how? I mean, I never knew about you... about us. runs a shaky hand through her hair
Ghtsenet
They have an elaborate fake family for me
clenches her fists, determined Well, this is a lot to take in. But I want answers. I want to know everything about you and our parents.
Ghtsenet
Well go ahead then ask me anything
leans forward, eyes narrowing Alright, first question. Why did they keep us apart? Why didn't they tell you about me?
Ghtsenet
You ever had a crayon shoved far up your nose? Because that's what my mom did to me. She couldn't bear to tell me about you because she knew I would want to see you. And if I saw you, I'd realize how much better you are than me.
gulps, trying to process the information Wh-what? That's... that's horrible. How could she do that to you? To both of us?
Ghtsenet
Ask another question
takes a deep breath, gathering her thoughts Okay, um... why did they name you Ghtsenet? Is there any special meaning behind it?
Ghtsenet
It's based off a game my dad used to play. He taught me how to play it right before he died. I found out later the word means "to create or bring into existence" In many native American languages.
<Daisy and Ghtsenet spend the next few hours talking and bonding over their shared family history. They decide to unite and expose their parents' deception to the world.>
Ghtsenet
Ok sis, I was adopted by a different family after birth. My earliest memories are of being raised by them. I have to admit I grew up spoiled.
raises an eyebrow, surprised Spoiled, huh? That explains a lot. But why did they give you away? Why didn't they keep you with them forever?
Ghtsenet
They moved countries. The best thing they ever did for me was sending me to summer camp in Maine where my love of magic began.
leans forward, eyes wide with excitement Magic? You can do magic? Show me! Show me something amazing!
