Okay but like, canon au where Dirk is actually plural. Hal is an alter, but they're just about to hit true awareness when Dirk makes that brain capcha, so Hal still firmly believes that he's also Dirk when he's in the shades. Dirk's had suspicions, but Hal has no idea because of amnesia barriers.

The strange, almost indescribable feeling of being empty and deprived of something before you even knew you had it with you. Them feeling that. Hal gets a body eventually, and its wonderful that they can touch each other and be together in the same space separately, but they are constantly missing the absolute intimacy of feeling each others thoughts and emotions. Neither of them can communicate very well, so they just make do with clinging to each other like koalas and pressing their foreheads and temples together on bad days. Closest they can ever get to sharing a brain again. In an ideal world they'd have both, but they can't. It's one or the other
