    Summary

    The puzzle pieces judder together with horrifying clarity. Standing in the center of the room, she can see the full picture. Everything missing from the phone, the fragments of herself in the dorm, the odd inflection in Kris’ voice.

    This isn’t a dream. It isn’t the Dark World. But it is, impossibly, an alternate world entirely.

    Kris sighs again, muttering something to themself. “Do you need me to come over? Are you alone?”

    “Kris, I think I’m in the wrong world,” she manages.

     

    (or: two noelles trade places.)

    Summary

    “Didn’t think I’d get this far,” Kris tells Dess.

    “Hey.” Dess taps their nose, and they peer up at it through their bangs, the vibrant brightness of her face. “I’m glad you’re here, harbinger. You’re going to figure this out.”

    Kris hums, noncommittal. Somewhere halfway across the country their friends are finishing up final exams. A whole year out there, learning new things, living new places. So many things they’ve seen that Kris never has, never will. Certainly, their friends have traveled further beyond the bounds of Hometown than they ever have. Into some world that surely cannot exist. Some reality that doesn’t include them.

    They know, of course, that theirs is a problem that can never be solved.

    (When they’re ten years old Kris Dreemurr is shown a video by their mother. It is of a coyote that has been raised by a dog mother, with dog siblings, in a human house.)

    On surviving your end and what comes next.

    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

    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.
