Summary
“You weren’t Kris yesterday in that city, were you? And you’re not Kris now.” Despite their heaves of breath, Kris still wore the eerie dead eyed expression on their face. It was different from the one they had when they first moved to Hometown—that one, although was their default, often molded and changed into normal expressions of joy and fear, sorrow and mischief. This new face that sat in Kris’ skin was as robotic as it was uncanny, and they moved like old claymation, staggering and jerky.
“But you were Kris last night. So how do I find Kris again?”
or: Noelle is going to get her friend back, even if she has to claw it out of them.

Summary
They feel the urge to kiss her rise like bile, like a foreign thing. They have dreamed about this moment for years, but now they feel sick for want of it, helpless to stop it. Please don’t do this, they think, watching their hands rise to her cradle her face.
WHY? it asks. DON’T YOU WANT TO KISS HER, TOO?
(or: the same room, a different path, and a possession.)

Summary
The puzzle pieces judder together with horrifying clarity. Standing in the center of the room, she can see the full picture. Everything missing from the phone, the fragments of herself in the dorm, the odd inflection in Kris’ voice.
This isn’t a dream. It isn’t the Dark World. But it is, impossibly, an alternate world entirely.
Kris sighs again, muttering something to themself. “Do you need me to come over? Are you alone?”
“Kris, I think I’m in the wrong world,” she manages.
(or: two noelles trade places.)

Summary
"So, how would you do it?"
Kris looks at Noelle. They've been chewing on the last of the popcorn, the kernels that get stuck at the bottom of the bag and only half pop.
"You know," Noelle says, and gestures at the screen like they haven't spent the last few minutes in silence, watching a tough-yet-caring police officer string together the world's most obvious clues. "If you were a slasher movie villain, how would you kill me?"
Kris and Noelle have a spirited discussion about horror movies.

Summary
Noelle was there, at the center of it all, so she only heard what it was like for everyone else in the days that followed. The smell of dust in the air. The way the shadows, cast by no light, started to squirm. The wave of nausea that rolled through the town, old wounds aching and scars unsealing themselves.
Then, the sound of the bunker door slamming shut.
She's certain they hated her. Maybe they still do. It was Noelle's dark world that Susie never came back from, after all.
* * *
Noelle, Kris, and what's left after the end.
