    Summary

    "So, how would you do it?"

    Kris looks at Noelle. They've been chewing on the last of the popcorn, the kernels that get stuck at the bottom of the bag and only half pop.

    "You know," Noelle says, and gestures at the screen like they haven't spent the last few minutes in silence, watching a tough-yet-caring police officer string together the world's most obvious clues. "If you were a slasher movie villain, how would you kill me?"

    Kris and Noelle have a spirited discussion about horror movies.

    Summary

    Now it felt far too late to back down. All of this hard work – work she didn’t even want to do, work she felt like she had to do – was about to be undone by her own inability to let her pride go. Why? Because today was the day that Still I Rise would formally race to see if she qualified for Tracen Academy.

    Today was the day she’d show that she was nothing more than a fluke. Nothing more than a misstep in her parents’ legacies.

     


    Being the daughter of two legendary racers isn’t easy. Stubborn, proud, and pressured by the legacy of Daiwa Scarlet and Vodka, Still I Rise steps uncertainly towards a future she doesn’t actually want.

    Summary

    Worrying about being a good person was good. He was a ninja. He was a hero. He had to be a good person, that was part of the job description. This was a justified worry. This was absolutely a justified worry.

    Summary

    It fails to make sense to him, how he could feel like this. If he was made to be a cure, a weapon, an ultimate life-form, then these aches are illogical. They should be an impossibility - just like the strange tightness in his chest, and the incessant itching built up in his legs, and the low churn of nausea in his gut.

    These aren't Shadow's symptoms, they're Maria's.

    ...aren't they?

    Summary

    “Dirk!”

    “Roxy!”

    Yeah, there you go, that’s got you spinning on your heel in a very undignified, un-Strider way, but you kind of don’t care about that because you know those voices, from taped talk shows and DVD special features and premiere screenings—holy shit.

    Everyone else’s guardians had been revived—but you kind of thought John and Jane wouldn’t bother with yours and Roxy’s. You could kiss those kids right now.
