Summary
"He knew it by then- that it was only a different Kris who would ever seek him purposefully. That his charge's tangle of selves was something to be dealt with sensitively, ideally separate from any desperate attempts at stuffing lifelong chasms of loneliness. He knew that he, at the very least, owed them some effort."
Ralsei and Kris make an admirable attempt at having normal teenage identity issues. As opposed to... yeah.

Summary
"Once, you (almost) remember, time dripped steadily forward, as if trickling from the mouth of a spigot. Now it comes in waves, sweeping you away, and leaving you stranded when it recedes."
Loop becomes a local cryptid. Siffrin needs some closure.

Summary
When she sneaks out to the lake to clear her head the night before the festival, Noelle runs into an old friend. They take the opportunity to have a much-needed heart-to-heart-shaped object.
---
Kris turns to face her with an expression on their face that she doesn’t quite understand. They open and close their mouth once before shaking their head and looking away again. Noelle frowns, irritation spiking.
“I understand if you didn’t want to talk to me about it in front of Susie, but did it occur to you that maybe there were things I didn’t want to talk to Susie about in front of you?”
Kris’s lips thin, and they turn away again. “...It’s occurred to me.”Series

Summary
The illusion of solitude has been shattered now, and Kris will probably close the piano. Like all the other times when Noelle tried to connect with them on a level in which they didn’t wish to be understood.
They open and close their mouth a few times. Their eyes are wide, as if surprised to hear their own voice.
Kris turns to face them a little bit better. “Any song requests?”
Noelle blinks. What?
Susie and Noelle overhear Kris playing the piano. A conversation without the SOUL ensues.

Summary
What Wake gives it is not a name. To do so would be a moronic, unnecessary cruelty. But she does deign to give it the microscopic dignity of a title, a goal, a purpose. Bomb.
Eighteen years later, in the rubble of a once-sacred home, Harrowhark Nonagesimus reaches up and touches Gideon Nav’s grit-covered, blood-rimed face, splits a laugh like the world is ending, and calls her “flower.”

Six times God's unwanted daughter was nicknamed, and once she wasn't.
