    Summary

    “It’d be weird,” they explain, shrugging. “We just aren’t that close, and-”

    “AREN’T THAT- Ugh, alright, sure! Fuck it! I’ll bite! The hell’s up with you and Noelle!?”

    That, Kris reflects, is a very good question. If Susie ever finds out what the answer is, they hope she’ll tell them, because they don’t have a single goddamn clue, themselves.


    Every active force has a reactive one. If you force something deep inside you, it'll eventually come pouring out, just as forcefully as you concealed it. Kris finds that out the hard way.

    Summary

    "Forget about me, Noelle." To anybody else, their voice was somber but resolute, a brick wall of firmness that beget no inner struggle. But Noelle, through her years of struggle and joyous adventure with them, through late nights of exposing their hearts to one another, could feel the red string of fate between them. The viscous, unbridled inner torture it took for them to say that. To slam that wedge between them. 

    She couldn't accept it. "

    Noelle misses Kris, but her attempts to reconnect insofar have been in vain. At last, in dedecorating a classroom together, they get the chance to rekindle old friendships.

    Summary

    “Didn’t think I’d get this far,” Kris tells Dess.

    “Hey.” Dess taps their nose, and they peer up at it through their bangs, the vibrant brightness of her face. “I’m glad you’re here, harbinger. You’re going to figure this out.”

    Kris hums, noncommittal. Somewhere halfway across the country their friends are finishing up final exams. A whole year out there, learning new things, living new places. So many things they’ve seen that Kris never has, never will. Certainly, their friends have traveled further beyond the bounds of Hometown than they ever have. Into some world that surely cannot exist. Some reality that doesn’t include them.

    They know, of course, that theirs is a problem that can never be solved.

    (When they’re ten years old Kris Dreemurr is shown a video by their mother. It is of a coyote that has been raised by a dog mother, with dog siblings, in a human house.)

    On surviving your end and what comes next.
