    Summary

    It didn't have to be you who helped her, or fed her, or stayed with her. In fact it probably shouldn't have been, given your promise, and the gaping absence that faithfully awaited you at the story's end – frankly, your mom's household finances couldn't tolerate more than a few days' worth of extra meals. You were just lucky – or, that's the wrong word; really, you were convenient, courtesy of your part in the play, and the sad little vestigial heart inside you that soaked in her kindness like it was the sun. Anyone might've; could've; should've.

    But, just for a little while, you had something that was just yours.

    -

    In which Kris tries, and fails, to admit they've lost already.

    Summary

    Susie,” Kris’s voice deadpans from the other end of the line, “if you don’t call me back in five minutes, I’m killing myself.”

    Noelle stares.

    Susie coughs. “They, uh. They don’t mean that.”

    Susie makes her first friend. Somehow, they're even more insane than she is.

    Summary

    “Hey?! Did you hear me?! I said-!”

    They stepped forward.

    Susie flinched. She hated to admit it, but despite her tough demeanor, she was a little scared. Not because she wasn’t confident in her own ability to defend herself against an attacker, she could deal with those just fine. But something about the figure, their silence, it unnerved her more than she was willing to let on.

    “H-Hey! What are you-”

    They stepped forward again, their movements almost zombie-like.

    “G-Get back! I’m warning you! You don’t know what I’m capable of. I’ve slain a giant ya know!” If she had any common sense in that moment, she would’ve realized how ludicrous a statement like that sounded to anyone that wasn’t her.

    Another step. It was so loud, louder than the rain, louder than her own heartbeat. She held her breath, bracing herself as the figure stepped into the light, revealing themselves to be none other than…

    “...Kris?”
