Summary
Dusk,
It’s the Director.
I’ve heard about your new task that just came in. I’m pleased for you - truly. I wish you the best of luck with this endeavor.
Should you proceed without issue, and should your results impress me, you may find yourself in the running to become a permanent member of our institution.
I’ll be blunt: I have my concerns about you. But with everything happening (the details of which you are not privy to, so stop asking), I cannot spare anyone else to spend weeks on such a low-stakes, slow-burn operation.
I wish you luck again - but I’ll also warn you:
If you severely mishandle this, you are not simply fired. Our work is more important than that. I trust we understand each other.
By the way, my condolences regarding your brother. I may be stiff and cold, but I am not heartless. If you ever want to talk, I won’t promise a pleasant conversation, but my office does have comfortable chairs and a functioning coffee machine.
With many mixed feelings, always,
Director EspinP.S. We do not have a Human Resources department. Your emails complaining about my behavior are being forwarded directly to me. Just thought you should know.

Summary
Despair's a weird feeling. It's like a knot stuck at the back of my throat. I barely get enough to eat, I'm not doing so well in school, and I don't really talk that much to anyone anymore. Oh, and I'm possessed for twenty-three and a half hours a day.
But despite all of that, when I look at how bubbly my classmate is, I remember when we grew up together. I think of how much company she used to provide, before we drifted so far apart. And whenever I think of that...
It feels like that despair gets a bit weaker. I think I miss her.

Summary
Nicholas Holiday is despondent. He has sat in bed for hours and hours, on the verge of rotting away. This is typical of him, but it doesn't make his mother any more approving of it. But his sister, December, imagines that he doesn't just act like this out of laziness or ennui. She's going to figure out what's hurting him.
Noelle Holiday comes out, experiences loss, gets really fucked up generally, transitions, gets abused, lives through Weird Route, and maybe has the kind of happy ending she actually deserves?

Summary
School (and the plot) is put on hold by an early snowstorm. It's the perfect opportunity for Kris to screw around with Susie--and to also be forced to confront their feelings and trauma with their childhood friend. Maybe things have been this way because they never hashed it out together.
Is this what getting stronger means?

Summary
The door to Ralsei’s room pushed open, Kris and Susie immediately met with the sight of a soft, translucent material draped over the mirror, covering nearly its entire length.
"I didn't want it to get dusty," Ralsei rushed to explain.
“Seriously, do you not like it or something?”
Kris glared at him, red flames dancing up and down as they regarded Ralsei’s distressed stance, though their face remained carefully dulled. A pang of guilt quivered his insides anyway.
“No! No, not at all! I appreciate it, truly,” He bit his lower lip, rocking back and forth on the soles of his feet. “It's simply… tough… for me to bear the reflection.”
Kris and Susie bring a mirror to decorate Ralsei's room.

Summary
Four years have passed since that long summer, where Kris and their friends managed to avoid the end of the world as they knew it, with the putrescent bulb overhead snapping them back to life. Both they and Noelle made a promise, to never grow apart, and stay forever as friends again.
Four years later, there they were⸺now studying in a city of glimmer lights, like the one they always thought they'd go to, with Kris majoring in musical arts, and Noelle eyeing to become a doctor. As adolescence leaves them, and they enter into this life as adults, the ever-present longing of wanting to be together still remains for the two of them, but never being able to say it.
The two are friends, and yet they've always been more their whole life, so a question had to be asked...
Was getting love involved really such a good idea?

Or, Kris and Noelle learn to open up and love in earnest, and love themselves.Bookmarked by S_Dedalus
