Mid Summer here in the South Pacific so lots of reading in the shade by the lake. (I'm reading book two of Cixin Lui's Remembrance of Earth's Past Trilogy in which this: "What a literary character does in ten minutes might be a reflection of ten years' experience. You can't be limited to the plot of a novel-you've got to imagine her entire life and what actually gets put into words is just the tip of the iceberg.")

So Dear Questioner, It occurs to me that you are creating not one but two literary figures in your novel. How well do you know them? Their entire lives? Are they speaking, acting of their own accord. Do they Wisper to you, on the train, at dinner, in your dreams and upon waking.

If so,

They will tell you what to do.
