   Summary

   A pre-Odin era look into the life of the Walker family, roughly five years before disaster.

   Hesh endures the immediate aftermath of parental loss as a teenager, forced to step up as Logan withdraws and Elias spirals. Or: In which Hesh inadvertently learns just how enduring he can be of Elias's bullshit while becoming the unspoken cornerstone of their little family, which is a totally healthy and normal thing to expect from a thirteen year old.
