When my mother was pregnant with me, it was said that I had an opposite gender twin, but then comes my birth and such a twin is nowhere to be found.
I had the opposite: they didn't know my bro was coming until I was already here and - look! - it's another one!
You likely absorbed them. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanishing_twin
That used to be a theory, but it was looked into and it doesn't seem to be what happened (also didn't know that doesn't just happen to identical twins).
So like merged into your mother then? How does/would that work?
By imagining it more like stillbirth with a minimized trace.
Sounds like something a neonatal cannibal would say ;)
