    Summary

    One week ago, Kris nearly destroyed the world. Seven days ago, they took a stupid, selfish shot in the dark, throwing away all the plans they had so meticulously prepared in favor of one last, desperate gamble. One hundred and sixty-eight hours ago, they finally sealed the shelter’s Dark Fountain for good—and miraculously, thanks only to their friends, nobody had to die.

    But more importantly: sixteen hours ago, Susie, apparently, went out with Noelle for an ice cream date and neither of them told Kris about it beforehand.

    By all accounts, that should be fine. That should be not a big deal, because Susie and Noelle are girlfriends, and girlfriends go on dates with each other. And, typically, girlfriends aren’t expected to invite regular friends to join in on those dates. Especially not friends who lied to both of them repeatedly and nearly ruined everything, everywhere, forever.

    The cruel truth of the matter, though, is that Kris is extremely not fine.

    Summary

    You failed to escape whatever entity is pretending to be Noelle right now, meaning you're about as good as dead.

    ...WHY IS SHE JUST FORCING YOU TO HAVE A SLEEPOVER????

    Kris will be damned if they don't figure out what this thing's end goal is, but their deeper desires may have other plans for the night...

    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.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Everything that was even vaguely personal, you donated, or buried, or burned. On Carol's advice, of course – any Darkner that was yours might spill your secrets once the prophesied Girl arrived, and give the game away – but it was proof of your commitment, too, not just practical. Proof you would do anything for Noelle, for the person you'd taken from her, for the life she was supposed to live. Because you could do it. You could give up anything. You could give up everything. You promised.

    -

    It's funny, isn't it?

    The person you needed more than anything is hers, now.

    You're even.

    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.
