On the one hand, Zahra could give Joey a long lecture on gender and identity that would almost certainly go through one ear and right out the other. On the other, they could just not and instead say, "Neither," shrug their shoulders, and hope that'll be enough to satisfy him. Which is exactly what Zahra does. They can give him the whole spiel later, when they aren't already getting a proximity migraine.

Zahra stares at Joey as he lists off his achievements, equally dumbstruck. "You know, I could accept one outlier. One universe where your little sister didn't hog your whole family's dueling talent. But two? Two?. Now I'm wondering if I'm the one that's dreaming, because there's no way that there's more than one world out there where you somehow stole Shizuka's—or what would you call her, Serenity?—place."

On a logical level, Zahra could understand it. It's only because the Pharaoh stripped away Katsuya's ability to duel for almost a year that Shizuka entered Duelist Kingdom when Katsuya had fully intended on using the prize money to get her surgery. But it was still mind-boggling that any version of Katsuya managed to achieve so much as a duelist.
