    Summary

    “S'not your fault that—”

    “—I hurt you,” Susie finished. She chewed on the concept, the edges of her voice frantic, her throat thick. “Because you deserved it.”

    “Yes.” Kris pressed her hands against their chest. They smiled in a way that failed to be reassuring. Each desperate breath shuddering through their lungs confirmed everything Susie didn't want to know. “S’fine. It’s okay.”

    Kris burned like a charred pan straight out of the oven, or an oil fire stoked by liquor. Susie reeled away. “You—you were trying to set me up,” Susie accused, trying to edge words around the chasm opening in her gut. “You were trying to get me to hit you.”


    Kris wants Susie to hurt them. They need her to hurt them. Susie isn't as on board with the idea as they are.

    Summary

    Noelle decides to be a bit bolder on the ferris wheel ride with Susie. After all, it's a dream, right? It's not like the Susie in the real world would know what happened. There'd be no consequences.

    Not even if Noelle kissed her.

    Summary

    The illusion of solitude has been shattered now, and Kris will probably close the piano. Like all the other times when Noelle tried to connect with them on a level in which they didn’t wish to be understood.

    They open and close their mouth a few times. Their eyes are wide, as if surprised to hear their own voice.

    Kris turns to face them a little bit better. “Any song requests?”

    Noelle blinks. What?

    Susie and Noelle overhear Kris playing the piano. A conversation without the SOUL ensues.

    Summary

    Kazuma watches Ryunosuke, watches his hand twitch against the desk. He's bouncing his leg again. "Are you sure you're jerking off properly?"

    "Is—is there a wrong way to do it?"

    "Probably." Especially with Ryunosuke being as embarrassed as he is. Kazuma can see it now—Ryunosuke probably shoves his hand into his underwear with no pretense, makes a chore of it. Definitely doesn't draw it out until he's aching, twitching. But that's when it really feels good, isn't it? What a waste. "How do you do it?"

    "You can't just ask that."

    Ryunosuke's voice is shrill, a seeping hiss. Eyes darting anywhere, everywhere, but always away from Kazuma. It's cute, really. Kazuma pushes his laptop away from him—leans on his elbow in the space it makes, watching Ryunosuke. "How else will you know if you're doing it wrong?"

    Summary

    You leave the palace and your crown behind, and vanish behind a stone door nobody can pass. In the ruins, you can build a safe haven, protect any further children that drop from up above. Perhaps you could become a mother, again, and try to understand what drew these children up the mountain and into the abyss to begin with. Try to heal that wound.

    You suppose this is a form of cowardice in itself.
    --
    Toriel in the Ruins, and the six children who fell before.
