Summary
Prayer and worship commanded Shrignold's life for as long as he could remember, but when a certain dozing lamp reenters the butterfly's life, he begins to question everything he's ever known. There's a secret to be uncovered, as love guides Shrignold on his path to the truth.
(An exploration of Shrignold’s position in the Love Cult and the history behind it, along with Lars’ drunkenness treated somewhat seriously.)

Summary
“I don’t think that’s how our batteries work. You feel hungry, don’t you?” Yellow nodded, and Smart Yellow winced. “And you haven’t felt well before, when you missed a meal. That means you still need to eat, too.”
But there wasn’t enough food, not when the teacher took it all away. They all three had to share just a little, and his friends needed to eat more.
“That’s not how our batteries work,” Yellow repeated, as though committing it to memory. He met Smart Yellow’s gaze, hoping the other understood. “But those other two don’t know that, do they?”
———
When the new teacher is making the trio try ‘dieting’, there’s not enough food around. And Yellow realizes his batteries are the perfect excuse to not eat.
The only problem? He actually does need to eat, too.
Oh well. What the other two don’t know, won’t hurt them.

Summary
This was Yellow’s fault, that they were here. This was just supposed to be his nightmare, wasn’t it? But the other two were stuck here, all because of him.
“Promise,” Yellow said abruptly, eyes darting back to the house. All the noise and arguing and chaos fell silent around him, as though making room for his words. “You promise that when my batteries are out, they can go?”
Duck made a strangled noise, stepping forward, but Red quickly reached down and snagged him by the jacket.
Yellow had to do this alone.
———
The one in which a teacher gives them the way out - or at least, the way out for most of them.
What are they supposed to do?

Summary
“I don’t know if that’s a good idea,” Red said at last, folding his arms. “You don’t- you aren’t yourself, with those batteries.”
Yellow furrowed his eyebrows, confused. “Yes I am,” he answered. “I’m me, but not stupid in the head.”
Red flinched backwards. The other two didn’t like it when Yellow brought up how slow he was, though they never hesitated to talk about to themselves. Maybe it was a family-lawyer clump thing.
“You’re fine the way you are,” Red argued, mouth twisted with unease. “This is the way it’s supposed to be.”
————
Yellow looks for batteries, Red doesn’t like it, and a teacher appears. An average day in an actual nightmare.
