    Summary

    Kris prepared for a fight, gripping the hockey stick tightly.
    And the soul…stayed still.
    In the corner, up high.
    Kris’ eavesdropping gradually stopped while they stared, brows furrowing as the soul shook up high. Maybe it was then that Kris had their first honest observation, one that wasn’t obstructed by their own denial, refusing to acknowledge they weren’t the only one suffering in this situation.
    The soul...was scared, wasn’t it?

    Summary

    “The fuck are you doing?” Kris hisses, fingers reaching out to latch at you before you could pull away. It’s the first time you’ve heard Kris swore. They must be really angry. Like Dad. “What are you, a child?”

    At least there's no sign of anything like the hockey stick reappearing.

    And hey, you're really mature for being eight! Not a child anymore, if you really thought about it. Just two more years and you’ll be in the double digits like an adult. Like Kris! But you didn’t want to lie to Kris. So you tuck away your complaints and pulse red in agreement.

    In which the Soul is a child, and Kris finds out after it tries to comfort them at the end of Chapter Four.

    Summary

    But Martin’s gasping to breathe, holding onto the wrist of one of Tim’s offered hands. The other hand’s splayed against his chest, and he’s looking more than a little panicky.

    “Okay.” Martin’s hand constricts around Tim’s wrist. “O–Okay, I might, um, m–maybe–”

    “Breathe, Martin.”

    “M–Might be an asthma attack–” Martin gasps, and Tim shifts his hand to catch Martin’s fingers again.

    Summary

    Scar doesn’t pay much attention to the news, at first.

    Look, he’s a busy man! Places to go, people to see. A few isolated cases of weird health incidents don’t have anything to do with him. Besides, it seems like the city government has things largely under control. There's a public safety announcement saying anybody with serious symptoms should go to the hospital, and there’s something about bottled water that Scar brushes off because his fridge is already filled to capacity with leftover unlabeled Gatorade, and that’s basically all he thinks of it until one Tuesday morning when he hauls himself out of bed rubbing at his eyes, fumbles around in the dark for a moment, and pulls a windowshade open to let the morning sun in.

    Summary

    It is important that the Hero be relatable and marketable.

    A moment later, as he’s turning away to inspect the walls, Niki taps on his shoulder and says, “Sorry, I realized I forgot to ask. What are your pronouns?”
