This example will probably require having played Xenoblade 2 due to how
convoluted the character dynamics are. My apologies for that, but to sum it
up, ホムラ and ヒカリ share the same body and the same memories, but have different
personalities and appearance depending on who is manifested (like a mode
change). But at the same time, the game treats like different characters who
are aware of each other.

In the above link, Tetsuya Takahashi says the following:

“そう――『ゼノブレイド２』本編は **レックスとホムラ（ヒカリ）の物語**
でしたが、「黄金の国イーラ」はもう一人の主人公とも言えるシンとラウラの物語なのです。
シンの過去に何があったのか、ラウラという人物はどういう人物であったのか、そしてアデルとヒカリの関係は――。”

“ レックスとホムラ（ヒカリ）の物語”

What would the parenthesis here mean? The story of Rex and Homura (and
Hikari); or the story of Rex and Homura (who is also Hikari)

My apologies for the trouble. Any help would be very much appreciated.

question
punctuation
(Potential spoilers for Xenoblade 2) understanding the usage of parenthesis in this example
This sentence seems to focus on the relationship between the _two_ characters
(レックス & ホムラ) rather than three. So I think it's more natural to read that part
as "who is also ヒカリ".

(But...does this use of parentheses require explanation? Doesn't `story of Rex
and Homura (Hikari)` make perfect sense in English?)
