Summary
Mom says, I love you. Kris thinks that’s probably true.
Mom says, Asriel will be coming home for break. He will be so happy to see you. Kris wonders if he will even know the difference, if he’ll see what their mother can’t. They’ve always been a weird kid— people have told them that their whole life, but someone should have noticed.
Someone should have noticed, right?
(or, self loathing becomes a complicated thing when you're not entirely sure who you are.)

Summary
Susie looks at your house and frowns. She looks at you and frowns even harder. “Okay, so,” she says, at length. “I swear I'm not trying to blow up your spot, here. But.” She pauses, squinting her eyes, concentrating like she wishes she could practice saying this next sentence a few times in private before she commits to saying it out loud for real. She takes a deep breath and goes for it anyway. “Are you… okay?"
Your response comes to you automatically, a lightning-fast impulse. Yes, of course you are. That’s the only acceptable answer, isn’t it? It’s all you can do to look her in the eyes and feed her a lie. Yes, that’s right—another lie, just one of countless others, a big fat mountain of lies that you’d give (almost) anything to not have to tell. But what other choice do you have? You’ve gone this far down the rabbit hole, haven’t you? It’s not like you can just open your mouth and tell her, after all the things you’ve done behind her back, that you’re–
“No,” you hear, distantly. It takes you a second to recognize who’s saying it. You forget the sound of your own voice, sometimes. “I’m not.”

Summary
Kris, and the entity that wasn't there before. The thing that moves their body and speaks with their mouth. It calls itself "Risk", and it's not sure how it got here, where it came from, or what's going to happen to it, but by god it's going to do its best.
AKA: Kris' extremely untreated dissociative disorder, a promise they made, their vulnerable SOUL, and the very confused "coworker" that lives within it.

Summary
Noelle fell fast and hard for Susie. Embarrassingly so, really—while she can ace a math test or whip up a five-paragraph essay in short order, she’s incredibly out of her depth when it comes to romance. But after her strange dream in the library, she’s determined to give it her best shot.
Kris has been pining after Noelle for years, too shy to say anything. That’s probably why it stung so much when she started crushing so obviously on Susie. But even though Kris missed their shot, if they can get Susie and Noelle together, they’ll still be making Noelle happy in some way, right?
Susie’s never really had friends—not until Kris came along, that is. So when she accidentally learns that Kris likes Noelle, she’s determined to be the best wingmonster ever for her new friend and get Kris and Noelle together, no matter what it takes.
Or, three oblivious lovesick dorks chase each other in circles like idiots.
