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
Noelle showed me something special in her Cat Petterz game today. It wasn't anything too unusual. A cat with purple and gold eyes, and a sinister smile. I'd never seen it before. I wouldn't have thought anything of it, but it... it...
It had my laugh. And every now and then when I blink... I see its smile.
