Quite alternate (and much nicer) version of Chiyo's universe.
---- "I think there's something happening," Candide said, in the language that the three of them shared. Alexis nodded, form bobbing up and down in the air.
Chiyo looked at her siblings. She was the only one of the three that normal people could see by default, unless the other two made themselves visible. She'd sometimes envied that, especially when she didn't want to go to school or be in class. Of course, her father could see all of them regardless.
Candide and Alexis could both assume a humanoid form, but they didn't look human, so they normally just accompanied her to school and learned over her shoulder. Candide was a bit older than her, Ganma gestations being quite a bit shorter than human pregnancies, carried to term within their father's body. Which would have weirded most people out, because their father appeared male, and yet her siblings had been born that way.
"I agree," Alexis chimed in. They were working on schoolwork. Their mother had insisted that Alexis and Candide practice even if they couldn't live in normal human society. That way, the three of them could work together even if most people could only see one.
Their father tried to teach them how it would be like to live in Ganma society on the Ganma world. Chiyo wished sometimes that her siblings could go there to have a normal life for them, instead of having to practically stay with her. She herself had no desire to live there, given Ganma views, though she could probably survive in Ganma society.
"Maybe the seal is becoming undone?" she asked. After all, her family was tense, from their parents and uncle to her honorary aunt and uncles. Something was happening that they didn't want to tell Chiyo, Alexis, and Candide.
"Maybe," Candide allowed.
It was good news and bad. Good for her siblings, bad for the world. If the Ganma could reach Earth again, there was a good chance that they'd try to invade. Her family would fight back, protect the Earth, though it would pain her Uncle Takeru, who only wanted peace between the two.
Her mother had told her that Uncle Takeru had been the happiest when each of the three of them had been born, unions between human and Ganma. It hadn't mattered to him how each of them had been born, either out of their mother or their father.
"Let's find out," Alexis said, and Chiyo nodded. Candide bobbed. They'd always tried to act in consensus. It was, in some ways, an important way in both of their worlds.
Chiyo got up, and not looking back, knew that her siblings would follow.
