Summary
He doesn’t apologize again. Can’t. Because there’s no way to say, hey, dude, I’m really sorry for intentionally exposing you to a zombie plague, but anyway, water under the bridge, right?

Summary
In this society, there is a place where the poor and unwanted are placed and kept hidden away from everyone else, where poverty and crime are a frequent and life shines for no one. Stacked up high in the sky in crudely made buildings of scrap metal, this is the furthest anyone living there will ever reach. When a Depression consumes the land, and the government fails to bring an end to it, society turns even further on the residents of the Stacks and the hate grows, ignorant to the horrors that lay there. What no one knows, however, is that it'll take the work of four unlikely people to not only bring an end to poverty but also to the inequality.
Virgil, a thief who has lived his entire life in the Stacks, watching the injustice there, and wants to tear down the ones who sit on top; Roman, a cop turned Head of Security who vows to stop Virgil in his tracks; Patton, an escapee from the Stacks living illegally in the city; and Logan, a Senator who seeks a way to solve both the economic crisis, and the mysteries of the Stacks origins.

Summary
Remus can’t decide what expression Roman is wearing under that stupid, silly mask, but he thinks he likes it anyway. Something like horror, something like despair, something like fear and self loathing and nausea that matches the face that’s been haunting him since four years ago in a gas station mirror after he threw himself in front of an eighteen wheeler upon realizing that Roman never cared about him at all.
“Remus,” Roman croaks out.
“I have a power,” Remus says. “I have always had a power. I ruined my own life by saving yours when we were eight years old, but that’s okay. I’m going to fucking fix it right now!”
He raises the gun barrel towards Roman again, steady and simple and confident, right at that bleeding heart of his that for some reason never bled for Remus.

Summary
New York, 1946
“At their smallest components, humans are indistinguishable from forest fires.” Logan Sul swirled his glass of scotch around idly, watching the ice clink together. “All it takes is the smallest spark to set them off.” He casually took a sip, amber eyes piercing each member of the assembled group.
Virgil Avery, the paranoid security guard.
Patton Parker, the far too-cheerful nightclub owner.
Roman Torres, the high-strung star.
Viper Salem, the obsessive widow.
Dorian Arya, the mysterious ex-business partner.
“Any singular person is more than capable of being a murderer.” He set his glass down on the side table, dabbing at his mouth with his handkerchief. He turned back to the group and smiled viciously, a hunter with his sights set on prey. “And one of you is.”

Yellow doesn't trust anyone, but he pretends to for their sake.
Red thinks that they're hiding something, but trusts them anyway.
Green doesn't think he should trust them, but he does.
Bubbles is too trusting. Of course he'd trust these people, who else is there to trust?
Blue is skeptical, but knows that working together is the only way to make it out.
(aka all the sides wake up with amnesia and a bad feeling.)
