Summary
They invade the kitchen and start each conversation with, “hey honey!”. Billy holes himself in his room as much as he can and writes bitter entries in his notebooks about his family’s belief that they can singlehandedly fix him. Then he gets over himself and starts writing down the memories, each individual detail. He starts listening, and he writes those details too.
Billy tucks stories into his pockets and carries a pencil everywhere he goes.

Summary
So, we have this: a boy with a sigil in his fingertips and a pocketful of spells, standing in front of a mirror. He smiles, and he uses a photograph as a reference picture. “My name is William Kaplan,” he practises, and the lie rots away at his teeth, his innards.
He’s a boy that hears words in the silences, a boy who pretends and smiles and practises. Minds shimmer on the surface – visible, audible things. He was a twin (William Kaplan was not).
There is another boy, who lives inside a different boy’s skin. Let us not forget him. Tommy Maximoff existed. He lived and loved and stole a body to live in. He’s a boy that runs faster than the speed of light, a boy who lives honestly and sadly and quietly. He was a twin (Thomas Trent was not).

Summary
A boy with two names walked down the Road, once. With him, he brought Agatha Harkness. He wasn’t in the coven, but he wasn’t quite covenless either. His name was William, and his name was Billy. Those two things were not the same. He was used to hearing things people didn’t say and used to knowing people as well as they knew themselves. He was not used to forces rising up and listening to his unspoken words. He was not used to being seen, listened to, and known.
But the Road knew everything. It knew everyone.

They swept Nicholas away from the story, but here is where it started. His mother loved him too much, and she was rather good at being selfish (we never learn – we’ve been here before).

Summary
She falls asleep on that wretched Road, and her lullaby is the thrum of magic that is not her own. She does not cry and she is not jealous.
We already know this – Jen left, later, with the wind in her pockets and tears on her cold face. The land falls away from her feet. They don’t tell you how much flying felt like falling. But Jen had been drowning for a very long time – even falling was worth it, for just one breath of air.

Summary
“Sometimes, boys die,” Agatha had said, and Billy had heard it before she finished speaking. Her thoughts were thick, heavy, and sad in the way that ached, like pressing on bruises, like tired bones. She didn’t usually let him listen – something was wrong, but something was always wrong. Sometimes, boys die, but Billy hadn’t, and there is no grave for William Kaplan. There is no grief for him, none at all, except for Billy’s.
OR: Agatha and Billy embark on their quest to find Tommy. They also make new friends, find old ones, heal traumas, and play I Spy a few too many times.

Summary
Herb takes a deep breath. It rattles in his lungs, shaken and unsure, unsure if this was part of the script, the next scene. Uncertain if this was going to be allowed. When it’s exhaled into the night air, it’s loud in the quiet street.
OR: Herb, in the aftermath.
