The impact sang up both arms. “Feel that?” the double murmured. “That’s what you were supposed to feel. No jag, no guilt. Just effectiveness.”“You're not me,” Frank said. He shoved. The double let him. It smiled. “You’ll learn to like it.”“Elara,!” Frank barked.“Stay with me,” she called, wind and light shaking off her. “Don’t,don’t listen.”“You sound like two different people,” the double observed, calm as a judge.
