    Summary

    For the Incubators, a diagnosis of "mental illness" is as simple as having a personal interest outside producing negentropy – for example, in wordplay. Kyubey, the assigned Incubator for Mitakihara City's magical girls in their fight against wraiths, is diagnosed with an unnecessary emotion after making an unprompted joke, and scheduled for execution and replacement. It accepts gracefully, knowing its death serves the purpose of fighting entropy... right up until it can't.

    In for a penny, in for breaking and rewriting your identity, as they say.

    Summary

    “Nicholas went out with Thomas Levantis? On a date?”
    Seiji asked the question with the same unnerving intensity that he brought to his early morning practices, every bit as laser focused and pointed as his flèche, and the first Bon laughed uneasily, obviously unsure of what had changed, only certain that something had, and he was none too happy about it.
    “Well, yeah.”
    The other Bon, a bit slower on the uptake, gave a tiny coo, like a lovestruck dove.
    “Why, Katayama, were you hoping it’d be you?”

    Summary

    “I know how that is. Husbands: can’t live with ‘em, can’t live without ‘em. Mine’s the same way. Probably would’ve stormed out of here sooner than yours did.”

    Her words send Dean reeling, knocking the air out of him in a way strangers haven’t been able to do in a very long time. He can’t even find the words to correct her until she’s in the middle of another sentence.

    “He’s not my husband.” She blinks at him. “I mean, we aren’t even together. We’re just friends,” Dean clarifies. For the life of him, he can’t figure out why it sounds unbelievable to his own ears.

    ---

    Five times Dean corrects someone about his relationship with Cas, and one time he realizes he doesn't need to.
