Summary
Her ears are ringing, perfect little fluting tones that flit and trill around her head as she continues her cyclical, helpless, baby-duck stumbling, limbs clumsy and haphazard in contrast to the straight and easy way the other girl is holding herself. She’s beautiful, even in her boredom; tossing her hair, fluffing her hair, tugging lightly at the long, straight strands. Madotsuki wants to be closer. Wants it with a tireless, empty longing that feels like her insides are getting pulled up her throat.

Summary
“Hair-pulling,” they mumble. They open their eyes. They still don’t look at her. “Trichotillomania. Hair-pulling. It’s…”
“A body focused repetitive behavior,” Noelle singsongs, textbook-perfect as she turns back to her reflection. “Wherein the affected feels an overwhelming urge to pull out their own hair. From the head, from the eyebrows, from the eyelashes, from anywhere hair might grow! And between you and me, Kris-“ they give a tiny, almost imperceptible flinch- “it’s also really freaking annoying.”

Summary
“You’re worrying. You shouldn’t worry,” Kris says, stiff. Mechanical. Giving a strange little gesture towards the giant freaking block of ice. “It was… fight or flight. Eat or be eaten. Perfectly natural.”
Uhhh??
“It was… natural?” Noelle repeats, wondering. Brow furrowing. “Uhh, Kris, I don’t know if you saw that, but it was pretty much the opposite of natural. Like, I don’t think it could’ve been any less natural!! Freaking- red dye 40 is more natural! The Mountain Dew Baja Blast!! Gamer fuel!!!”

Summary
"So, how would you do it?"
Kris looks at Noelle. They've been chewing on the last of the popcorn, the kernels that get stuck at the bottom of the bag and only half pop.
"You know," Noelle says, and gestures at the screen like they haven't spent the last few minutes in silence, watching a tough-yet-caring police officer string together the world's most obvious clues. "If you were a slasher movie villain, how would you kill me?"
Kris and Noelle have a spirited discussion about horror movies.

Summary
Now it felt far too late to back down. All of this hard work – work she didn’t even want to do, work she felt like she had to do – was about to be undone by her own inability to let her pride go. Why? Because today was the day that Still I Rise would formally race to see if she qualified for Tracen Academy.
Today was the day she’d show that she was nothing more than a fluke. Nothing more than a misstep in her parents’ legacies.
Being the daughter of two legendary racers isn’t easy. Stubborn, proud, and pressured by the legacy of Daiwa Scarlet and Vodka, Still I Rise steps uncertainly towards a future she doesn’t actually want.

Summary
Worrying about being a good person was good. He was a ninja. He was a hero. He had to be a good person, that was part of the job description. This was a justified worry. This was absolutely a justified worry.

Summary
Mikey thought that it had been a good idea until it didn’t work at all.
Stuck in a cell, alone and kidnapped by unknown adversaries, Mikey tried to use his new mystic powers to open a portal back home.
Instead of taking himself home, he portaled several of his alternate selves into the cell with him.
Oops.
