Summary
For the Incubators, a diagnosis of "mental illness" is as simple as having a personal interest outside producing negentropy – for example, in wordplay. Kyubey, the assigned Incubator for Mitakihara City's magical girls in their fight against wraiths, is diagnosed with an unnecessary emotion after making an unprompted joke, and scheduled for execution and replacement. It accepts gracefully, knowing its death serves the purpose of fighting entropy... right up until it can't.
In for a penny, in for breaking and rewriting your identity, as they say.

Summary
Zero blinks at her, pink-red eyes incredulous. “I said don’t.”

“Uhm, it’s nothing, really!” Accord laughs softly, cheeks flushed. “I was just observing that you looked really cu—”
At that moment, the door slides open. Accord walks in.
“Oh, hi Zero,” she says. She walks past her towards the other end of the car, then freezes mid-step. “Wait—”

Summary
Accord communicated as much through touch as she did her ever-running mouth. A brush of the shoulders, intertwined fingers, a soft caress across the side of her face—fingers barely ghosting the edges of the flower’s petals.
The tenderness of it all baffled Zero. Once, she’d asked her what the point of it all was. Accord had looked her in the eye earnestly and said, “you’re just so fascinatingly human.”
Well, sure, maybe it was kind of nice. Maybe it was the fact that she knew she could trust Accord to stop if she told her to stop.
Huh. She trusted Accord, didn’t she?

Summary
“You know, you don’t have to go today if you don’t want to.”
One shakes her head. “She’s my sister. I have to go. And…” One adds, almost as an afterthought. “I miss her.”
Most of her means those words. She hopes, in saying them aloud, she might assuage the rest.
One contemplates the merits of striking first.
