Final image: a small table in a dim room—coffee cups, a stack of photocopied zines, a crown of cut paper, a camera with a strap worn at the corner—each object labeled, in Claire’s handwriting, with one of the names: Nicol, Mandorla, Claire, Benz, Lady Dia. When a neighbor asks which of them is real, Nicol smiles, slides the crown across the table, and says only: “Pick one. We’ll try it for an hour.”
