Centralized on the birthmark.

I don't love speculation,

but there's some likelihood
you are a human chimera.

- I'm a monster.

- [chuckles]
No, it's a reductive way to say

you likely have dual DNA
from vanishing twin syndrome.

DERMATOLOGIST: That's probably why

you got this birthmark.

I mean, it's inconsequential,

but it could cause extra sensitivity
on your birthmark.

- I'm sorry, I'm-I'm not following.

- Oh, dual DNA is usually caused
from absorbing your twin in the womb.

It's not so uncommon.

I mean, we see it
with birthmarks like yours.

So I'm gonna prescribe you
cortisone ointment

and an antihistamine, so avoid sunlight.

CLAUDIA: Okay, you know,
when you asked me if I had kids?

Well, it's more like I can't.

I did like three rounds IVF

and took the supplements,
everything, nothing worked.

And then Sam, my ex,
we stopped sleeping together,

we started to fight about,
like, toilet paper.

And then he started going to California
all the time on business,

but like all the time,

You know, that feeling.
You know that feeling.

Anyways, I went one night
to sedate my appendage

and I was, I don’t know,
I was like crying or something

and I fumbled with the syringe
and my appendage told me

that Sam was going to be a daddy.

That he had fallen in love
with this other woman

whose uterus wasn't filled
with tumbleweed

and they were pregnant.

And it was true.
