Summary
Mike Wheeler hated his sister's boyfriends. It wasn't complicated, it was moral principle.
Steve Harrington was a jock. A hair-product-using, car-polishing, dumb-smiling jerk. Mike was a nerd. By the rules of nature and comic book law, Mike was obligated to hate him.
Then came Jonathan. He had known him almost as long as he had known Will. Quiet. Awkward. Supposedly "nice". Except the Wheeler household had thin walls, and he had heard too many late-night muffled sobs over the phone.
Conclusion: Boyfriends = bad. Boyfriends = tears. Boyfriends = Mike Wheeler's sworn enemy.
So when Nancy starts to act happy and giddy, and Mike swears he heard her giggle over the phone. Nancy Wheeler. GIGGLE! He starts to get suspicious and recruits none other than the party to help him figure it out.

Summary
Nancy’s hair has been cut short. Like, short-short- shorter than Robin’s ever was, shorter than Dustin’s, hell, it might be about the same length as Steve’s. It glimmers with golden-brown undertones in the sun. It still falls in waves, cropped closer to Nancy’s head in a way that Robin would never have imagined her friend going for. And the way it curls at the nape of her neck- god, Robin is fucking screwed.
or
Nancy gets a haircut. Robin feels totally normal about it.

Summary
Rumi hadn’t meant to cause such a scene. She just wasn’t thinking straight.
Celine had told her Zoey and Mira would kill her if they found out what she was, and Rumi had come to the conclusion that she was probably right.
Her plan, as tenuous a description as that word was, was to cut the patterns out. If she could cut out the parts of her that made her dangerous, that made her less than human, that made her so unloveable, maybe she’d stop feeling so fucking guilty every time Mira or Zoey opened up to her.
They loved each other from the start, but it just wasn't that simple.

Summary
How do you love a cursed thing?
Celine hopes, and she hopes more, and prays at Mi-yeong's grave, hoping vainly that one day Rumi will wake up and be freed from her affliction. Not so that she'll feel better about raising the contradiction to her duty, but so that Rumi can live her own life freely.
Every day, she prays. Every day after, Rumi smiles at her with covered arms. Every day after that, Celine grows just a little more strict.
She pulls Rumi out of her local private school, teaches her lessons personally, finds vocal coaches who'll meet Rumi at the estate. She limits what the world sees of her, stops taking her to awards shows, drills privacy and caution and fear into her, and tries not to feel guilty when Rumi strives more and more for perfection, for a chance to prove herself.
