I'm in an unfamiliar room, and have just finished watching a movie or TV show, but it's the final ending, and I'm disappointed. Seems like the story wandered all over but didn't end up anywhere. I get up from where I'm sitting, and realize that we're almost late to one of Vera's science meetings, which I am planning to attend.

We get ready to go, but Vera is two people, neither of whom look like her. Both have very short hair - sort of like Siena of the climbing club - which is sort of spotty, like a cancer patient. There is some discussion about whether they look funny, whether anybody will notice and ask questions.
