There's a total lunar eclipse two weeks later, the first one since January 2001. That semiquarter and most of the next pass without much more noise. Jackson is occasionally sad because of his dom's electric toy, and he's occasionally more stripey than he wishes to be, but there's not a whole lot Sadde can do about that. Against his hopes, Mason doesn't dump Jackson, and nothing gives.
Sadde continues socializing with people, but no one new. And as the semiquarter approaches its end and summer break gets closer, Sadde receives an email from Tobias, saying that he fully expects his daughter to come home and tell everyone all about her first half year at magic school.
The email tells Sadde to behave.
Sadde is not in a good place.

"Next?"
"Were you saving up for something else before?"
"Oh."
Nod.
Om nom. (Jackson doesn't look as skinny anymore. His moms must feed him.)
"I do?"
"I wind up eating a lot of, like, whole wheat and salad and stuff at home."
Shrug.
"You didn't think I was anorexic or something, did you?"

"Nnnnooo, just that you don't seem to take very good care of yourself sometimes."
Shrug.
