Tally's first clue that it hadn't been a dream was that she'd woken up alone in her room.

Nowadays, she and Gideon have been sharing a room, so that Tally can protect her from ever finding a body alone again--and maybe conspicuously leave out some clothes that fit Gideon but aren't, like, ratty black pants. That day, though, she'd woken in an empty room, gasping from something that felt like a nightmare, but somehow more vivid than real life.

Without even getting dressed, she'd run for the woods to confirm what had happened. Horror had flooded her when she found the knife-mark, exactly where she remembered throwing it yesterday. It was true. She'd been Special. She'd been awful. She'd seen and felt the world with more harsh clarity than she'd ever thought possible. She'd hit Gideon.

Tally had collapsed onto the stump, gripping her own arms to make sure her familiar, average body was still there.

Over the next few days, Tally doesn't sleep well, and people getting swapped out for a second time doesn't help. People might find her wandering the mansion like a zombie, or in one of the kitchens, contemplating getting drunk. She's not as put together as usual, either, but of course on her even bedhead and sweats look beautiful.

"Oh yeah?" Magnus asks, relieved that his alternate self might not have been the total worst. "Like what?"

Okay, this takes Magnus aback! He blinks. "Why would I be mad at you?"

"Were you?" Magnus asks; he's forgotten on purpose since they're friends now and anyway it would be a dick move to hold something someone says on their first day against them. "Oh, you mean the ugly thing? I understand it now, it's whatever."

"I am twenty-five," Magnus says, bemused. "Practically a crumbly myself -- oh my gods, Tally, speaking of, did I tell you I tried to call Hanguang-jun Hanguang-jun-la, too?"

"You said he hated it when you did it so I thought I'd see for myself!"

"Yeah, he super hated it," Magnus laughs.

"No," Magnus says, and tries to explain both why he called him Hanguang-jun-la and why he doesn't try to make him mad a lot: "He's got, like, dad vibes or whatever."

"Mine either," Magnus admits. "But like, he's literally the god of peace, so."

"Um," Magnus frowns, thinking through the question. "Some?"

"Um, like, making out with Alex, but that's not really an ability I inherited from my dad," Magnus says. "Neither is exploring with Galahad or Alex or Gu Xiang. Sooooooooo..."

"Oh, I mean, I guess I can do some useful stuff," Magnus says. He looks around, shrugs, and says, "Come on. Follow me."
