Each of her versions reflected a part of her character, and to deny one of them would be to deny herself.
To accept and understand them, Arabel had to accept and understand herself first.
"I'm sorry," she said with a sigh, lowering her head in front of Pink and Black Arabel.
They, in turn, batted their wet eyelashes and stared at her in disbelief.
"I'm sorry for being a little dismissive of you and not noticing your feelings," Arabel added.
Blue and White Arabel exchanged glances with each other and smiled, pleased with their older sister's act.
"I take back my words, and you can continue to communicate with Bera, but this ti with Blue and White," Arabel said.
"But please, sisters, be reasonable and don't teach or show her things she shouldn't know yet," she added.
Pink and Black Arabel nodded in agreent.
"Bera's mind has not fully matured yet, she is like a child who absorbs everything and does not fully realize who she is," Arabel continued.
"She's not just a doppelganger that I'm..." Arabel stopped, and then corrected herself with a slight smile.: "We have signed a contract."
"She is our close partner, our best and most loyal friend," Arabel stressed.
Everyone agreed with this statent.
For the rest of her versions, Bera was just as important as for Arabel herself, so they were happy to be with her and play here.
"So please, let's help her beco aware of the world around us and strengthen her consciousness," Arabel asked, involuntarily touching her stomach.
"Let's take this as an opportunity to get a little lesson and practice for our unborn child."
Arabel's words aroused hidden jealousy in Pink and Black, and they looked first at Arabel and then at White.
But this ti their jealousy was not so violent and dangerous.
"Big sister," — Pink Arabel called.
"About Bera..." she began. "During the four days you've been using the avatar ability, we've noticed sothing that might interest you."
Black Arabel, who was standing next to Pink, nodded in agreent.
"When we first found this house and ca here and discovered Bera's consciousness, she wasn't as mature as she is now."
"Hmm? What did you say?" — Pink's words couldn't help but attract Arabel's attention.
"I want to say that Bera's consciousness has been growing quite rapidly over these four days, while you are using the avatar's ability and as she is near us," Pink Arabel shared her observation in more detail.
"We not only played with her, but also shared our mories," Pink Arabel continued, and then, blushing, added: "Including 'these' our intimate mories."
"I also want to apologize for that. I understand that we shouldn't have shown her such things," for the first ti in a long ti, Arabel heard the words of apology from the Pink version of herself, which represented her crazy side.
Stunned by this discovery, Arabel turned to look at the baby in the arms of the Blue version.
"Are you saying that four days ago she was completely different?" she asked.
"Yes, then she was just a baby who could barely sit up," the Black One confird.
"Four days!" Arabel exclaid to herself, looking at Bera's tiny consciousness.
It suddenly dawned on her that it was probably a side effect of using the avatar's ability for a long ti.
Arabel had never used this ability for as long as she did now.
"If what you're saying is true, that changes everything," — Arabel said seriously.
The System had previously warned that if they weren't careful, the Doppelganger could completely lose his own consciousness, and Arabel's own consciousness would appear instead. It will be her own copy, with independent thinking.
Rembering this, Arabel categorically did not want such an outco.
"You do understand that if the situation develops in this way, there is a high probability that Bera's consciousness will disappear, and a new, different version of us will appear instead?" she said.
"And the worst part is, this version is likely to be independent of us!" she added anxiously.
Other versions of Arabel stared at the baby with wide eyes. The realization of this possibility caused a storm of contradictions in their minds.
Despite the differences, Arabel's versions were close to each other.
But none of them wanted a new sister.
The new sister could beco a new rival for them, especially if she had the freedom that the other versions so desired.
Although radical thoughts began to form in their minds about taking over Bera's body and gaining freedom, they quickly rejected them.
Bera's life and self-awareness were more important to them, as was the health of their older sister.
"Sisters," — Arabel addressed them all. "Including you, Silver."
Arabel hadn't forgotten the one who had run away earlier, barely feeling the conflict escalate.
"Please help strengthen Bera's consciousness and prevent her from disappearing under the influence of this ability."
"Teach her everything we know and what she needs."
"Including how to deal with the opposite sex."
"But that's only the last thing, when Bera's consciousness matures and becos an adult," Arabel corrected, looking at the Pink version's malicious smile.
"To do this, you can use the information I've gleaned from the Dual Cultivation Manual."
"Do not show her our intimate monts, and especially I categorically forbid showing her Dan," Arabel urged.
"You don't want another woman wanting our husband any more than I do, do you?" Arabel asked everyone, and saw their faces change. She realized that they shared her thoughts.
"You can count on us, big sister," they said in unison.
"Okay, I'm relying on you," Arabel nodded, and after spending so more ti in this place watching Bera, she was thrown back, opening her eyes in her bed.
She lay there for a while, thinking about the information she had just received.
"I hope they don't do anything stupid," she said with slight concern. However, knowing that Blue and White were there, she relaxed a little.
She did not even imagine that her other versions could be the solution that might help Bera to realize herself and find her identity.
As for the problems with her versions, Arabel decided to postpone them until the end of the Disaster.
"I'll have plenty of ti to think and reflect on this while I'm locked up here and waiting for you to be born," she said with a slight smile, gently stroking her still flat stomach.
Then she noticed that it was already getting light outside, heralding the arrival of morning.
Arabel took the {Whisper Talisman} and imrsed herself in reading the latest chat ssages.
It didn't take long before she rushed downstairs.
Arabel could not even imagine that in the short ti she had been sleeping, the situation could have changed dramatically.
