It was fairly easy to turn Cho into a legal citizen of the Land of Po. She simply arrived at the City Council and told a clerk she lost her ID and would like to request a new one. On the basis of Roseanne's birth certificate, because her face and fingerprints were a match, she officially became Roseanne Juzynski, with the same date and place of birth.
However, it was a recognition only on paper. To Roseanne, the parents and her friends she still remained Cho. She became the daughter, friend, and sister she always dreamed of being. What is more, she went to the same school as Roseanne but didn't choose military class. The guns were still too overwhelming for her. Instead, she signed up for a profile centred on the humanities, so she could put to some use her passion for books. Still again, she has not yet chosen her career path.
Emily continues to be the loyal friend of Cho and Roseanne. They hang out on breaks, in fast food joints, and in the comfort zones of their homes. Whenever she needs help with homework, Cho is always the go-to person. Of course, Natasha continues to participate in English conversations and Isa asks for help about maths.
As for Roseanne, she doesn't feel down. A sense of emptiness within her has been patched up by this extraordinary experience, by finding Cho, her alternate self, her sister. The future, especially what tomorrow may bring, no longer seemed that scary. Even if unforeseeable hardships might arise, she was confident she could handle them. The love for her family gave her strength.
