Summary
You know you have:
- Dozens of pairs of closed Eyes, organized by color. Many yellow ones form your hair, many red ones form your ear-wings, and the remainder try to blend into a skin tone. Most other colors are used only for structural support.
- Only one pair of open Eyes, as you're going undercover. This pair is Yours, too vibrant a purple to be wasted anywhere else.
- A normally inconspicuous outfit; sweatpants, slip-on shoes, and a large red sweater. It'd be a whole lot easier to fit into the sweater if you didn't have to keep the sleeves rolled up, but it turns out fine. The seams between the Eyes look enough like scars.
This is the only information You have clearance for. That's alright, though, as You get to Watch today.

Hello, Impulse.
In the woods is a cabin. A warm glow seeps out through the window and beneath the door. In the woods is a cabin that holds everything you once knew, everyone you loved.

Summary
“Talk to me, David.”
Ish looks at him over the top of his clipboard, tapping his pen against it. They’re back in the interrogation room. David’s had to duck his head to walk in through the door, earlier. He’s sitting opposite Ish, back of his chair right up against the wall.
“I’m not telling you shit,” David laughs.
Ish ignores this. “You keep trying to escape,” he says, like David doesn’t know that. “And your files state that you’re a… flight risk.”
He places his clipboard off to the side. “You can tell me what’s wrong, David. I’m not– I don’t want to hurt you more than truly necessary.”
David thinks about the infection, about the cramped interrogation room with a low ceiling, about roots spreading throughout his blood. Does he really have anything to lose?
“I miss the sky,” he starts, and Ish leans in.

Summary
It’s been six days since Drift and Shelby stole a van. Well, “borrowed” a van. Renhardt didn’t need to know that they weren’t giving it back. Nothing he could do about it now, anyway.
They stop at an outlet mall and buy fairy lights to string up, and hot glue, and glowy ceiling stars, because they can. They can do whatever they want now. So they buy fairy lights.
or, shelby overcooks some mac n cheese.
