There are now one dozen Bells.
They and most of their friends are all here on Planet Rainbowsand II, to celebrate the addition of Sarion, the elf one, and Aurora, the one with a sister.

Evaluating her own wants is one of the harder things, and the memory-crutch doesn't help very much. Sarion considers this question carefully.
"Yes," she concludes.

Snuggle!
It's almost like falling away into unthoughts like when the demon concentrated, before, except she's lucid.

Sarion's not going to start objecting any time soon.
"I have read your nametag, and know that you are an alt of my beloved, but I have learned little else about you."

"I'm the snuggly one," she says cheerfully. "Which is why the aura, not because of the aura. The aura does things other than cuddly. Did anybody tell you about Voice?"

"Sometimes Jokers have brothers," says Queenie. "They tend to turn out pretty fucked up. Voice is mine. He was a serial killer when he was alive, and when he died he took to keeping people in a box in his basement, one at a time. He got Shell Bell, and then a while later he got me."

"I do not know how much my beloved has said about how I came to be broken."

Sarion nods.
She glances around the room.
"It seems that each Bell who found herself in company with a Joker is romantically involved with him. Except for me."
She doesn't know what she thinks of this - well, she doesn't think anything of it, yet, thinking is still hard - but it is on her mind.

"You love your sweeties," Queenie points out. She has spoken to the sweeties in question. She knows.
