Summary
The battle ends, but the damage lingers.
In the aftermath of Memento Mori, Pike finds himself standing outside Sickbay, replaying every choice that led to Una Chin-Riley lying unconscious inside. As the Enterprise recovers, Pike is forced to confront the depth of his fear and the feelings he’s never allowed himself to name.
Sometimes it takes almost losing someone to say what matters finally.

Summary
Christopher Pike has always known exactly where the lines are.
Captain and first officer. Duty and desire. Wanting and never acting on it. But some lines don’t disappear; they wait. When a mission goes catastrophically wrong, Pike discovers that the thing he’s been most careful to avoid is the only thing he can’t survive without.
