Summary
He was done for anyways, and it felt like the universe was just kicking him while he was down. If it was as simple as a blaster to the head would’ve been, an end like that would’ve been preferable to the slow, drawn-out suffering of starving out in the middle of space, in an area so empty that he could see the same thing whether he was looking out the window or at the backs of his eyelids.

Summary
Nicholas Holiday is despondent. He has sat in bed for hours and hours, on the verge of rotting away. This is typical of him, but it doesn't make his mother any more approving of it. But his sister, December, imagines that he doesn't just act like this out of laziness or ennui. She's going to figure out what's hurting him.
Noelle Holiday comes out, experiences loss, gets really fucked up generally, transitions, gets abused, lives through Weird Route, and maybe has the kind of happy ending she actually deserves?

Summary
if Kris has learned anything the past few days, with that tiresome TV World, it’s that they do not appreciate constant reminders that their family will never be whole again.
And to top it all off, they can’t get any damn sleep anymore.
They toss and they turn, they bury their head in their pillow, they grab a pair of Azzy’s old wired headphones to block off the noise, but it’s no use. No matter what they do they can still hear the music, and their mother, and that damned little store clerk their mom finds so charming. This house is a nightmare.
Suddenly, they recall a memory and hear the tender voice of Ralsei.
“Umm, I’d be happy if this place… Could be like a second home to you. A place you can go to no matter what’s happening outside”.
or, a collection of stories inside the walls of Castle Town.

Summary
It had felt like Kris couldn’t remember the last time they were free from their soul; besides caging it away in the deep nights. They thought— prayed to be free from the ugly droning sound in the back of their head that followed the pulse of that soul. They wanted to break from the restraint of its captive will. They wanted, just for one day at least, to not worry about what they might do if this higher being decided to have its way. So they decided to cage it for longer. As long as they could. They were tired of the responsibility. This, although, wasn’t very beneficial to them in the long run. Unfortunately, Kris couldn’t act at top performance for long without it.

Summary
In one world, Irving B. turns back down the hallway and follows first his heart to O&D, then the whir of machines to a wellkept secret. Among other things, this leads to him and Dylan trapping Burt in the conference room, the goat department discovery, and eventually Burt's perma-retirement.
This isn't that world.
Or, with management busy covering up Helly R.'s suicide attempt and finding out what happened to Petey K., things are a little less surveiled on the Severed floor. Apparently, that's all it takes.
Series
- Part 1 of The Great MDR–O&D Revolt
