Summary
Noelle and Kris weren't the same as they used to be. It was easier to think it was just Kris getting sullen, harder to talk to, more withdrawn. It was easier to think that it was just growing up: that childhood friends aren’t meant to last. A crown of flowers and grubby hands clasped together wasn't the same as a wedding ring.
Until Susie came into their life, she could even believe it was true.

Summary
Dess signs, after a few faltering starts, “Asriel called me.”
“Huh?” Kris blinks, watching as Dess repeats the signs. “Oh. Uh. That’s cool.”
Dess shrugs. It has started to pace in the center of their room, to their window, their door, a straight-line loop. They catch her signs as she passes them, a start-and-stop. “His roommate. Went on a vacation for a few weeks. And Asriel—offered. For me to stay with him. Until the roommate is back.”
Kris—
Freezes. Like, full-body, the chill races up their spine and every bit of them goes rigid. Asriel is far, far, everyone is far, too-far, but Dess—Dess has stayed right in Hometown with them from the start, the only one of them who didn’t belong anywhere, even with the end of the world, even with Light and Dark cracked open, no boundaries between the two anymore. She was supposed to turn back into the girl she was before she left, but it never, ever did.
Kris was supposed to be a human.
(Or: Everyone else is moving on. Why can't Kris?)

Summary
“It wasn’t a big deal or anything, if you’re worried about that. We were just kind of friend-kissing.”
“Susie, I don’t know what friend-kissing is supposed to be,” Noelle said.
“It’s like. You know,” Susie stumbled, “like if you need to figure out how to kiss or whatever and you got somebody to help you out—and that guy helps you get better at it, it’s like—you know!”
“I-I do?”
“Yeah,” she stressed, “you and Kris used to do it all the time!”
Or, Kris decides flirting lessons aren’t all that bad of an idea. Consequences? What consequences?

Summary
Y’shtola opened her eyes again. There was no change, no hint of light or color beyond Y’mhitra’s aether hanging in the dark void. There was no difference whether her eyes were open or shut.
“I’m so sorry, Shtola,” said Y’mhitra.

A series of vignettes following Y'shtola through the earliest days of the Scions' rebuilding.
