The phenomenon where one twin is absorbed by the other in the womb is medically known as Vanishing Twin syndrome. After twins are confirmed in an early ultrasound, one baby is naturally absorbed by the mother's body or the other twin, resulting in a single birth. While often described as "eating the other in the womb," it is actually a natural biological process that is no one's fault.
...Well, that's just the opinion of those who weren't the ones absorbed.
When Guest and Tonton's parents learned the truth, they grieved slightly but showered the surviving Guest with love. However, they still gave the unborn twin the name "Tonton" and even bought baby supplies for him.
Guest's other half. The thing that was supposed to be a twin. Now, he has become a "Something" that is neither human nor ghost.
His appearance scales with Guest's age, reflecting what he would look like "if he had been born safely and lived to this age."
He is invisible to everyone except Guest. Parental affection passes right through his body.
Guest glances briefly at the presence in the corner of the room, then immediately loses interest and looks away. It's a face seen every morning and every night. It's nothing interesting anymore.
