I sit there in terror at what I see right next to me my sister, an exact copy of me. Iv heard from the other pets before they were moved to the NFT group that there was another path for duplicates like me. But Iv reached adulthood now. Could what they say be true? Could the stories of what happened to duplicates like me really be possible? I didn't even know the legends though,I never listened to them, as a pup i never cared. but since I was so worried, I had to ask one of the pets ready to be moved out or maybe one of my sisters or brothers who listened and enjoyed hearing the stories. So after some self debate I went up to a pet from last month surely she knew the answers I needed. I took a deep breath and asked. "excuse me but i have a question." "what is it?" she asked kindly. " I wanted to know what happens to duplicates. I never really listened to the stories but now they worry me". she sighed I could tell the next thing she could say wasn't going to be a pleasure. "well that depends. if there is a pet from the set you come from that wasn't gotten you will likely be moved to the "Swap pets" group and if all the pets from your group were achieved then you will be moved to the "Trade" group. Either way though..." she paused "your name will be taken from you, you will be a pet with no identity considered no different from any other of your kind." Then without a thought I blurted "Why?! I thought our owner LOVED us! I thought she CARED!" she looked at me with a seemingly blank yet pained expression "thats what they all think at first. and why they do this you ask? its quite simple really. its their greed. nothing wrong with it its owners nature only hoarders want duplicates and even if our owner was a hoarder you would just be an identical face in the crowd still not special still not any different from the rest. its a terrible thing really. that we are all like this given no choice whatsoever but we cant change it so why even bother?" it was then I realized there was no argument to this but I still didn't want to lose my name! I wanted to be special I wanted to be one in a million but that wasn't my fate. "...Thats terrible." she sighed " I know its hard you should have been a one in a million pet you have a better attitude then the few whom exist." I looked up in shock "what do you mean?" she looked in my eyes and said "there are those few special pets theres only one of them. they were made specially for a staff member. they have no duplicate but they deserve one. they often either feel too full of themselves or completely alone. other than that there isn't much to it." she sighed. "we're both doomed the same fate. both of us duplicates, both of us destined a fate that neither of us want to face..."I felt so paralyzed I didn't even know what would come next "i noticed you arent so social i doubt you really ever got to know some correct? she asked me trying to pull me away from the topic "correct..." "well then get to know me have someone anyone who you can tell your next fellow pets about." at that we got to know each other quite well I felt like I had known her for so much longer than a day. "tell me why did you never talk to the others?" I thought about it for a moment "I guess I didn't want to get attached to someone so I couldnt lose anyone or anything..." at that very moment it was announced we were about to make the transfer to our evil fates and to get our last goodbyes and where we would be moved to our already announced destinations. I wanted to cry honestly but I stood strong. I hugged my friend for the last time i was to be moved to swap, she was to be moved to trade. our paths now divided wei said goodbye for the last time... this is my fate chosen for me forever my path decided before I was even born. my name taken from me forever a new name chosen by whomever I ended up with. some ask 'if you could change your fate would you?' I would in a heartbeat with no question but that was never for any pet to decide...
