“No.” She pouted.
“Then, you could be wrong.”
“It doesn’t matter who came first.”
“It does.”
“It doesn’t because she came before the both of us.” Lunita pointed to the little girl.
“What?” I turned her way.
The little girl nodded.
“No.” My nerves frazzled. “I-I’ve been in charge. I am. . .I’m the main person. . .um that’s been. I had the baby—”
“You’re the Boss.” The little girl pointed at me and then gestured to Lunita. “And she is the Monster.”
Thunder boomed in the sky.
I struggled to keep my balance. “Okay. so. . .maybe I didn’t come first, but I did. Like you all think I didn’t because I’m split into—”
“You’re the Boss.” Lunita leaned awkwardly to the side and raised her hip up. “I’m the Monster. She’s the Little Girl. Everyone knows that.”

I sighed. “The one who was born Emily.”
Lunita rolled her eyes. “We were all born Emily.”
“But, she was the first one.” I touched my chest. “And. . .I think. . .that’s me.”
Lunita chuckled. “We always think that.”
“Listen.” My hands shook. “I know Max—”

I didn’t know how long it took me to get back some semblance of mental control. A cold shiver ran through me. “W-who’s M?”
Lunita shrugged. “The Professor.”
My heart hammered against my ribcage. “T-this is another. . .personality?”
“No.” Lunita appeared confused. “M is another one of us.”
Sorrow hit me.
“No.” My vision blurred as tears formed in my eyes. “N-no more. . .people. Okay?”
