With an unsteady hand, you raised the device up again, now pointing it at your sister. She looked at you quizzically, her eyes tinted with an irritation over her belief you were even thinking of teasing her this early in the morning.
"What's--"
She fails to finish the sentence before you press the "Absorb" button again, and like with your mother, she vanishes. Her coffee mug drops out of the now empty space where she was holding it, somehow not shattering as it shakily settles onto the counter. And just like that, you are the only one in the house.
You look down at the remote, the display changed ever so slightly to update its information:
Both of your family members were now stored in the IAMU, and now all of the device's other functions were open to you.
From what you remembered from the note, "Assign" would let you paste the identities you had stored onto someone or something else...it might be interesting to see how someone else would play out the role of your mom or your sister.
"Fuse" had two versions--something about using it once would let you assign both identities to a target, whatever that meant, and using it twice would combine them into a new identity.
You were tempted to experiment with those functions on yourself--if you had it right, everyone would treat you like whoever's identity you were using, and if you Fused them first...well, either one would be wild to try out.
Of course, you could also use Reset; you weren't entirely sure about using this thing on your family, and resetting the IAMU would put things back to normal. Now that you knew how this thing worked, maybe it'd be better to test it on other people?
