- Susan seems especially distraught over having grown up without a mother. She collapses onto her bed in tears after the discovery when Sharon leaves the cabin. She also fiercely argues against ending their scheme because, to paraphrase, Sharon has had thirteen years with her mother and now it's Susan's turn — she seems to think that once the twins switch back to their original identities, she might never see her mother again. Sharon does not seem to crave her father's company as badly, probably because her grandfather has served as the main male adult in her life.
