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
“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
That was their train of thought until, after incessant begging, the younger kids finally dragged a particular deer outside of her home, pulling her by the hand and insisting she be on their team. She was giggling as they did so, somewhat nervously assuring them that she’ll help in any way she can.
It was only when she passed her gate, and locked eyes with Kris down the street – eyes that, unlike recently, were suddenly full of purpose, like a vulture selecting a singular rabbit to prey upon – that Noelle regretted going outside.--
Noelle and Kris struggle to eat, and also have a water balloon fight.

Summary
Something in this space between her and Kris has shifted— an old fracture testing the tension of new bone tissue. It's just seven days. One hundred and sixty-eight hours. Really, that's no time at all, but it hasn’t been just her and Kris since they were children, back before everything went wrong. Since then, there has always been some outlying third factor: Susie, or Dess, or the SOUL, or the distance between them.
They're inches away, hands close enough that she can feel the heat radiating off their skin, and she doesn't know how to close the space.
(or: one week and five dates where noelle tries to define what she and kris are.)

Summary
The soul can't take any action that hasn't crossed Kris's mind, apparently.
So why does it keep treating Noelle like this?
