You aren’t the real Lola. The real Lola died and you replaced her because it wouldn’t be fair for Mura to go back empty-handed.

i feel a strange urge to defend myself and insist that i am real because no matter what the circumstances, i’m still the one that grew up as “Lola”… right? or is that something a replacement would say? there’s no winning i guess.

My choice of words could have been better but you are Lola, but you aren’t the original Lola. You were given to Mura because she came for the original Lola but was too late, the being thought no one was coming for the original Lola but was wrong. Their rules seem to dictate that if someone comes for the child that the child must be returned. But the child was dead and she couldn’t go back empty handed. You were given to replace the original Lola. Maybe you managed to have memories and knowledge of the original (minus the death memories) transferred to you somehow to make the transition easier? Maybe that burn on your sister’s forehead was to get basic information on your current family to give to you? I dont know.

that theory makes a lot of sense… it doesn’t make it any less terrifying for me though haha… i’ve been having an identity crisis ever since Mura told me all this. things have been weird.

Everyone has identity crises so you aren’t alone in that aspect. But you are you. You’re the one who lived as Lola all this time. No matter what, that cannot be taken from you. It is your truth.
