Lily was born premature and despite all the fears of her parents she grew up well and beautiful, even if she often felt an emptiness inside that would not let her go. Until they told her the truth: when she was conceived Lily was not alone but had a homozygous twin, that is, completely the same as her. Unfortunately, Delia, the other little girl, had not grown up as she should have and died a few months after birth. Since then Lily didn't feel alone anymore, she had a doubled energy and felt like she was living two lives.

Lily nacque prematura e nonostante tutti i timori dei suoi genitori crebbe bene e bella, anche se spesso sentiva un vuoto dentro che non la lasciava andare. Finchè non le raccontarono la verità: quando fu concepita Lily non era sola ma aveva una gemella omozigote, ovvero del tutto uguale a lei. Purtroppo Delia, l'altra piccola, non era cresciuta come avrebbe dovuto e morì pochi mesi dopo la nascita. Da allora Lily non si sentì più sola, aveva un'energia raddoppiata e le sembrava di vivere due vite.
