(fallen london stamps by in-system relationships ask game/questionnaire, question 7
Do you have any siblings in the system?
A while back, our answer to this would have been yes. Now? Not really.
As I mentioned elsewhere, we once described ourselves in familial terms for the sake of being Comprehensible to Other People, as well as for the sake of simplifying away our own feelings. But as time went on, we became less interested in having Labels and Making Sense, and we became more willing to just... experience our experiences as they were.
There is a kind of intrinsic familiarity that some of us (namely, former shards of The Girl) have. But it's like... imagine meeting a stranger, and making eye contact by chance, and realizing with a start that you have different pieces of the same soul.
(It might sound romantic. It's not. It's actually very uncanny, like seeing your own ghost.)
To say the least, it's not a feeling we've ever associated with our IRL sibling, who was "just" a person who grew up with us.
