Summary
Susie knows how to make up for who she is, oversized and fumbling, with jaundice eyes and wicked jagged teeth. She dresses in soft cardigans and ties up her hair with a ribbon and tries so hard to be good. If the Prophecy's cast her as one of its foretold heroes, then that's what she'll be.
Noelle Holiday saw what being good gets you in Hometown. She has other things on her mind.

Summary
For the Incubators, a diagnosis of "mental illness" is as simple as having a personal interest outside producing negentropy – for example, in wordplay. Kyubey, the assigned Incubator for Mitakihara City's magical girls in their fight against wraiths, is diagnosed with an unnecessary emotion after making an unprompted joke, and scheduled for execution and replacement. It accepts gracefully, knowing its death serves the purpose of fighting entropy... right up until it can't.
In for a penny, in for breaking and rewriting your identity, as they say.

Summary
“I wish I didn’t need them,” says stardust, and lets it go.
It begins with a wish, and it ends with one, too, more cleanly than anyone could've anticipated. There's no reason to stay, in the end.
...if you could only get that through the Saviors' heads.

What's the difference between healing and being better?
