Summary
Everything was collapsing around her. The arseholes down at the station who eyed her every morning. The arseholes she interviewed. The already tenuous grasp on her morality slipping, further and further, unable to reconcile her dreams with her reality. Her friends didn’t understand. Mel secure on the Common Council, and Jayce off with the tech startup. They didn’t need to worry. She needed to worry. Rent. Fuck it all, the rent. She had promised herself that she would never ask her parents for money again. The calendar mocked her from her office, its evil little voice echoing down the hall. She’d have to move back in with them, wouldn’t she? Once this fell through? The surveillance. The servants. The smells and sounds of sickness. The home nurse flitting around and around like a gnat.

Summary
For years, you have worked alone in the city of Zaun as the primetime arms dealer known as Pop Rocks. This is the life that you were forced to take after the uprooting of the Hound of the Underground and Silco's takeover. Sometimes, you wish you could go back to the life before, to the people you had before you lost everything.
That is, until one day, a magenta-haired woman comes strolling back into your shop as if no time had passed at all.
