>Both of you are. Though you think since your second self came into existence after the original one, she could be numbered to differentiate the two of you, or given a nickname or something...

Merry II:

>"Maybe you could do something to differentiate each other physically? And huh, I never considered that it might've doubled you without any clothes..." Renko blushes for a second but quickly hides it. "U-Uh, anyway, maybe one of you can go hatless? Actually, don't you have two outfits now?"
