Summary
“And like, I went to all this trouble to get my body back, right? For obvious reasons! I should like being Apollo. I mean, I do like being Apollo, but—” I stopped short.
Meg still looked totally lost. “But what?”
I gulped. “I like being Lester too. Even now that I don’t have to.”
Apollo’s feelings about his identity are complicated after he returns to godhood. Four snapshots explore this and his friendship with Meg over the years.

“Seriously Apollo, that’s what you were all worried about? That’s what you had me worried about? They’re both you, dummy,” said Meg in a tone that somehow managed to be both fond and withering. She pointed at me. “If you want to look like goddy Apollo, be Apollo. If you want to look like Lester, be Lester. You can do whatever you want. You don’t have to choose one thing forever and always.”
“But… isn’t it weird? To have spent so long wishing I looked like anyone but Lester, then making myself look like him on purpose?”
Meg frowned. “Him, him, you keep saying him. Lester isn’t real, Apollo. It’s just you. Always has been.”
It wasn’t anything I didn’t technically already know, but somehow that felt like a revelation. “It’s just me,” I repeated stupidly.
