I don't understand why it has to be just like the Curse to justify split pages. We could go with "the Curse, or adopting a new, different identity in the new world" and it makes sense. What I meant was that the curse gave everyone new names and personalities, but Bealfire didn't have anyone give her a new name, birthday or anything. He just reinvented himself as Neal like Pinnchio did as August. I think Neal/Bealfire & August/Pinnchio should be merged because the curse didn't do anything to them, they just changed themselves. But, just like Utter said, why do they have to be cursed to have split pages? That isn't the only way one can change identity.
