I referred to Jon thinking his friendship with Zelda ended years ago. But Jon wouldn't think that because he remembers the previous realities with Karyn and Melissa in the BFF slot. Although Jon now believes he has always been Sarah's son, that wouldn't affect his knowledge of the 3:47 PM reality shift that made Zelda take over Karyn and Melissa's role.
On the other hand, Jon's room reflects the reality in which Zelda was his childhood best buddy. A reality that has just been revised.
Layers and layers! By the time this fictional week is over, I'll have a really hard time keeping everything straight!
Ugh, just realized his wish -- which I wrote eight years ago -- says he's supposed to have a different "girlfriend" each day. But how can the wish still be in effect for misogynist Jon, son of Tiffany? Maybe the stone doesn't distinguish between "girlfriend" or "girl friend" or past and present. As long as Jon had a female friend at some point in his history -- someone in the Black role -- the parameters of the wish are still being observed.
Let me write out Jon's relationships in this branch:
BEFORE THE 3:47 WISH
- Platonic relationship with Karyn Black
3:47 WISH, DAY ONE
- Not so platonic relationship with Melissa
3:47 WISH, DAY TWO
- Not so platonic relationship with Zelda
ZELDA'S WISH
History is rewritten:
BEFORE THE 3:47 WISH
- Stopped being friends with Karyn in childhood
3:47 WISH, DAY ONE
- Stopped being friends with Melissa in childhood
3:47 WISH, DAY TWO
- Stopped being friends with Zelda in childhood
