The Greendale library had been hastily dressed as a chapel, streamers tangled over bookcases. On a hard bench, Abed sat beside Troy, both rigid in unfamiliar suits. They had just completed a prolonged session in the Dreamatorium, systematically draining their peculiarities to achieve 'normalcy' for Shirley and Andre's wedding rehearsal.

The focus settled on Abed, his face a careful blank, attempting to mimic the shape of joy.
