Funfact ao3 has multiple bodies(?) like clones n stuff they kinda "reproduce" by splitting apart they can do this because they're made of this "goop" like substance that can change shape, color, n texture at will so they can literally split like bacteria, so yeah there are more then one ao3 around, most of them just chill in random areas some are usually around people they know/love(platonic n romantic)/family though they usually stay out of sight, they don't consider this spying they do occasionally make their presence known,, they just find it easier to just, nit and exist near people they trust even(especially) if/when that person doesn't react/know they're there. the ao3's usually try avoid each other at all costs(and being seen together), they don't like having to explain it to others much, they're less hesitant with telling people about it that they love but only by a bit,,
This is also how it can have multiple homes and be in many different places at once
