He noticed that the hand she placed on his had thin, closely spaced fingers and skin so fair that it was barely possible to make out the veins' green color. Feeling something was not right, he suddenly seized her hand.
It was so sudden that Hannah was startled, but she did not withdraw her hand and let him hold it instead.
Scrutinizing the hand, he thought for a moment and grabbed the other one. He rubbed the pads of her fingers and then her palm and hand in confusion. Suddenly, he realized what was wrong.

Her fingers are strong too.’ Although he had never held Heather's hands, she had grabbed his shoulder and gripped his wrist when she beat her up, and he clearly remembered her fingers as powerful with prominent joints.

‘This is not right. So not right! Still, she looks exactly like Heather. Even her voice, her gait, and her expression look the same! S*hit! I'm not the one who's suffering from multiple personality disorder, am I?’ Thinking so, he panicked and gawked at her. “If you're not Heather, who the hell are you?” Hannah was initially shocked by his reaction and then grew surprised. She involuntarily seated herself closer to him. “You could tell?” After all these years, besides her parents and the few who were close, nobody else could tell she and Heather were two different people, yet Ralph could recognize the differences without knowing Heather had a sister!
