    Summary

    Mira's okay. Mira's okay. Mira's okay.

    Zoey’s okay. Zoey's okay. Zoey's okay.

    You're okay. You're okay. You're okay.

    It just didn't feel right—didn't feel like she meant it enough. Her mind kept drifting restlessly and she couldn't focus on the words, on what she wanted them to mean.

    She took an unsteady breath and started again.

    Rumi has lived with rules all her life, rules that only apply to her and don't make sense to anyone else, so it isn't weird that she keeps developing more.

    Summary

    But the texture of the couch under her sweating palms scratched violently at something that had always been loose in Rumi’s mind. Something in her fingers clung to the ease of hiding next to these two women. Something wanted to howl but was so deeply buried all it could do was bite at its own flesh. Frustration was clawing at the back of the empty hollow feeling. Normally couch time helped. Normally the laughter started to fill her up again. It gave Rumi something to hold onto until she wasn’t drowning.

    Or

    Rumi had a process. Something that never failed to make her feel better. The girls were never suppose to know.

    Summary

    It doesn’t know exactly when it started to understand.

    At some point, when it’s maybe fifteen, it wonders—because it’s not as if it doesn’t hear people calling it “she” pretty much every day. Hadn’t it heard that as a kid as well? Even when it didn’t really interact with anyone, when it was too young to be around people, when there wasn’t really anyone talking about it. So it’s not like anyone has ever actually called it “it,” even though that’s what’s accurate since it isn’t a she. It can’t be—because it isn’t human. It’s a demon. It’s a monster.

    Summary

    She swallows hard, not even realizing where she is until Maddy’s surprised yelp sounds way closer than it should.

    “Rue, what the hell are you doing? Why are you outside my window at—” She looks at the clock on her vanity— “2:30 AM?”

    Maddy has a polka-dot robe on now, clutching the two sides closed to keep out the chilly night air.

    Rue has stepped onto Maddy’s lawn. In front of Maddy’s window. Where Maddy can definitely see her.

    Stupid.

    “Uh—” she starts, scrambling, “Fuck, I didn't—I mean, it wasn't—”

    Rue’s hands move in useless little gestures, like that might somehow explain things. Maddy just watches her, arms crossed, her mouth shaped suspiciously like a smile. She cuts Rue off before she can dig herself any deeper.

    “Rue.”

    “Yeah?”

    “Do you need a place to crash tonight?”

    When Rue accidentally ends up at Maddy’s house, comfort shows up wearing someone else’s perfume, and Rue pretends that doesn’t mean anything.

    Summary

    "You shouldn't leave your window unlocked."

    Nancy's voice. Soft and strange, admonishing out of habit but nervous too, like she knew she was out of place, like she was uncertain of her authority here, in a room she'd never been in before.

    "If Vecna comes after me I don't think he's coming through the window," Robin joked. It came out rough, she was barely awake and entirely confused. Nancy Wheeler was sitting on her bed. She thanked the darkness for hiding the fact that her sheets had Ninja Turtles on them. "What's going on?"
