I'm sure Robin will be ecstatic if you ask him to modify the grammar
so that I/NIhO in a new voice have a different grammar than in the
current voice.

Deciding where a new text starts (and where it ends) is necessarily a
pragmatic endeavor. If the twins want to be parsed as if only one
person was speaking that's fine, but it's a pragmatic decision that
has to be made by the listener every time.
