Summary
Susie’s head is tipped back on Kris’ desk, her eyes shut. They’re tugging their long fingernails through her hair, humming softly. True to Catti’s word, as they shift forward their sweater collar slips to reveal a series of small bruises. And they could be from Susie’s teeth, but something strange comes over Noelle, and she is suddenly certain that they’re not.

Summary
The Angel always knew that this day would come. Banishment has always been an inevitability, so there is no reason to feel bad about it happening now. After a harrowing battle against the Knight, the Angel realizes that they are unwanted within this story. They have already been taught many times that at some point, it is time to let go of a world. This is how it must be. If Kris does not want them, then it must be time. After all, if their vessel does not want them, isn't the only winning move not to play?
With the Angel disconnected, Kris and Susie descend into a Dark World without knowing what fate has just befallen the world. The light that shines the way is gone, and not a single person knows why. The world moves on anyway while Kris, Susie, and Ralsei are all caught in the aftermath of the Angel's swift decision. Even with the light no longer shining brightly, maybe something can be salvaged from the dark.

Summary
The Angel perplexes Ralsei far more than he can handle. How could he understand them? One moment, they are hugging him. The next, they choose to fight for the first time without any prior warning. Between days, they grow more tired, like something weighs them down. Ralsei's only purpose is to serve them and the Lightners, so perhaps he just does not understand how the Angel can change so rapidly. He can never truly understand them, despite trying so hard to do so. Yet, part of him keeps wondering. Curiosity gnaws at him the more time he spends in the Angel's presence.
After a frustrating three days with the Angel, Ralsei cannot make heads or tails of their behavior. They confuse him, and he confuses them. Perhaps, Ralsei was not thinking straight when he took drastic measures. Maybe, he had been too weathered down by the previous day in the church to be able to think rationally. Against his better judgement, he calls for the Angel by name.
They answer, and Ralsei finally sees the Angel for what they are.

Summary
Noelle fell fast and hard for Susie. Embarrassingly so, really—while she can ace a math test or whip up a five-paragraph essay in short order, she’s incredibly out of her depth when it comes to romance. But after her strange dream in the library, she’s determined to give it her best shot.
Kris has been pining after Noelle for years, too shy to say anything. That’s probably why it stung so much when she started crushing so obviously on Susie. But even though Kris missed their shot, if they can get Susie and Noelle together, they’ll still be making Noelle happy in some way, right?
Susie’s never really had friends—not until Kris came along, that is. So when she accidentally learns that Kris likes Noelle, she’s determined to be the best wingmonster ever for her new friend and get Kris and Noelle together, no matter what it takes.
Or, three oblivious lovesick dorks chase each other in circles like idiots.

Summary
Tenna points to the audience. “Are you ready? Three contenders, but only one Susie! Which one of these romantically inclined Lightners will win the heart of our dear damsel? Find out right here, right now!”
Berdly’s face breaks into an almost comically evil grin. Noelle glances around nervously, shy yet determined. Kris tenses and places a tentative hand over their sword sheath.
Susie’s eye twitches. Why are they all taking this so seriously?
In a last ditch effort to raise Tenna’s spirits, everyone agrees to star in Castle Town’s very first live show: a dating show. Maybe Susie is overthinking, but why does everybody seem so into it?
