Aurel Bălan (masculine diminutive: Aurică; feminine diminutive: Aurica) is a tracking instance of Ioan Bălan, existing to follow a relationship with Sasha. Given Sasha's need to request time alone, often for months at a time, Aurel will merge down during these periods, leading Ioan to consider emself in a relationship with her as well. This parallels Debarre's relationship with E.W., given the fact that part of Sasha's identity includes the memories and thoughts of E.W. himself.
Ey leans more into a genderfluid identity and presentation, accepting both masculine and feminine nicknames.
