"Yeah, I don't think we plan on it happening again."

"Hi," says Jess to the newly appearing twin of Jess.

"Hi," she says. "I'm Maya."

"Yeah, uh. I'm Jess."

"Yeah."

Willow beams. "So! What now?"

"Maybe explain this magic thing a bit more? Since I now have a twin…?"

"Oh, sure, um—" She pauses, and realises she doesn't actually know anything about it, and eyes Theo, Tyler, Sadde, and Kero curiously.

"Baaaasically there are some weird non-sentient card things that sort of act kinda like people but don't seem to think they are people. And they allow you to do magic if you have them and are magic. And if nobody has them, they go around doing magic to… lots of stuff. Which is potentially bad. Like the Twin, today."

"Ah."

"Unfortunately magic is apparently innate and people who don't have it don't have it."

"Okay, so, I'm guessing I don't have it, but… is there a way to know for sure? And, like, does Maya have some because she's made through magic, or…?"

Theo shrugs. "Kero?"

"I think the easiest way to check is manifesting Windy."

"You mean, getting them to manifest Windy? Or can Windy tell me if something's magical…?"

"Only magical people can see Windy."

Theo doesn't literally facepalm. Not quite. "Yeah."

So he summons Windy by throwing out her card and tapping it with the staff and saying "Windy."

And she appears!

"Whoa. That is so cool."

"What? What is? What are you seeing?"

"It's some sort of… glowing woman? Translucent?" says Maya.

Jess blinks a couple of times and looks in a similar sort of direction, but doesn't seem to see anything. "Yeah, I've got nothing?"

"Aww! Why can you two see them and I can't? I mean, obviously because you're magical but awwwwww!"

"We're both nonmagical then, I think? Woo."

Theo shrugs. "I don't think there's much benefit to being magical anyway, but I don't know."
