[Hi, everyone!  It's choose your own adventure time with Seborga.  He can be found hanging around various places in town depending on the time of day.

1. During the day, he's at school.  He spends about half his time in class asleep at his desk, and the other half of the time making eyes at pretty girls.  Classmate or teacher, it doesn't matter, he'

[Ignore the late /)__(\ It's good that the Church has recently gained a new helper, but it didn't change Ciel's schedule by much. So she's there in the front as per usual, though she looks up at the creak of the entrance doors when Seborga comes.

Her expression softening, she closes the cover of what she was working on previously and straightens herself. It's even quieter inside the Church in the evening, so she'll wait for him to come up before giving her greeting.]

[expiatrice]

That does sound good. Would Romana be your caretaker?

[sub_umbra_sedi]

That's... a little complicated.

[expiatrice]

[Hm, that's a notable change in his behavior...]

May I ask what they are to you, or would that be a personal question?

[sub_umbra_sedi]

She's my cousin.

But also my mom.

But in the world I'm from, Italy Romano is a guy instead.

[expiatrice]

...

[Oh.

Well that it's Italy makes sense, seeing that this is Seborga, but...]

So it's the nation of Italy, but somehow, he's female in this town? ...Has-have they always been female, to the extend of their knowledge?

[sub_umbra_sedi]

Yes! That's the weird part! And there's a female me where she's from, too!

[expiatrice]

Hm... It sounds like the Romana here might be from an alternate reality of the world that you knew, Sebastiano. Do you know what that means?

[sub_umbra_sedi]

Yeah! It means that world's Wy is a boy!

[He seems completely blown away by this.]

[expiatrice]

[She can't help but chuckle a bit.]

An alternate reality is like a different version of your world, where many things remain the same, yet there are distinctive differences too. The world that Romana comes from also has personified nations, but from the sound of it, everyone's gender has been flipped, compared to the world that you are from. Do you follow?

[sub_umbra_sedi]

Right... she said Germany's a woman where she comes from too. And so are Spain and France!

[expiatrice]

That sounds to be case. Are their similarities similar? Between the Romano you knew from home, and the Romana that you know here?

[sub_umbra_sedi]

Kind of. Romana's a little nicer to me than Romano was, though.

[expiatrice]

[She laughs at that.]

Women are known to be more gentle, so I can't claim to be wholly surprised. She's still her own person though, and she's your cousin no matter what, is that not so?

[sub_umbra_sedi]

Right! I still love her no matter what. Family is family.

[expiatrice]

Haha, yes, so the fact that she's from an alternate reality shouldn't be a problem. I'm sure that she'll find you something appropriate to wear for the Nation Meeting.
