"I can't quite think of any other word that might work well to describe what it might be like having two lives in your head. Though, granted, it isn't as though you were living both of them simultaneously, were you? It was just a matter of a false history being planted in your mind."

After a moment's pause, she acknowledges, "Not that that makes things much better; I'm sorry."
