Epilogue (Part two)
"SO yeah, they are my grandmothers and your aunts, I guess?"
Mom half-smiled half grimaced. "My mom is dead though." She stared at the ground.
I sighed. "I want to apologize but apologizing won't bring them back. They died for what they believed in. And we should respect them."
I actually got a lot of stares for saying that.
Mom stared at me. "Wait, which one are you?" She was confused.
"All of them. We've merged."
She blinked twice. "What?"
"What?" Elsa parroted her.
The talk kind of just went on and on.

We'd come just before evening but we'd talked past midnight. And by that time most of my family members were either sleeping on the floor or in their rooms.
I went to the bathroom and when I came back- it was too damn quiet.
Mom also kind of fell asleep on the sofa. I didn't see Marg, Elsa, or Enira anywhere. They were probably plotting something.
