Summary
Nicky feels like he’s the only true human being in the room; he’s the only one shifting with discomfort and wrinkling his nose and feeling so sick at watching what’s going on. “Hey,” he says to the scientists, “Can’t you knock him out while you do that?”
“Why should we? We don’t have the budget for sedatives or pain killers.” One of the scientists says blandly, and that makes Nicky feel like he’s been shoved over an abyss. There should be empathy, or professional courtesy, or common decency, but there’s just a blank look of slight annoyance.
Instead of killing the doctor like he really wants to, Nicky pulls his silenced handgun from a pocket and shoots the victim in the head. “They’re immortal and I don’t get off on watching people writhe in pain. Even if drugs aren’t in the budget you can bet bullets are."

Summary
"You look like you've only been alive for two decades at most." Nile raised an eyebrow at Joe.
"Joe and Nicky are the youngest, died in 1915," she heard Andy say from across the table.
"That means you died in..." Nile started saying slowly.
"The Great War." Nicky nodded at Nile.
OR
Joe and Nicky died in World War I at the ages of 16 and 18 and are now in perpetual states of looking like they should be in school. Aka: how I think the story would go if they looked like they were still minors.

Summary
Planes fly by in droves, drop bombs, then race back for more bombs. It will be a miracle if any building is left standing after all of this - but there are no miracles left in the world. The world changes and will change again in the next hundred years but, from here on out, there will always be bombs.
He might as well get used to them.
