ungroup all, zoom in with the pick tool, and you can see the top letters don't look right

select just the top letters and it says 1 object with 3 sub-objects, there's two copies of the outer letter outline,

break-apart, delete one of the outlines, select all, combine, join curves

object has open and closed paths so it won't fill right

break-apart, deselect all the open interior paths, combine, fill with desired color

select leftover open interior paths, combine, no fill, (outline white)

1 shape = 1 color, to have multiple colors, object has to be divided into multiple shapes (or use a gradient as shown)
