Summary
Scruffy beard, glasses, hair in disarray. He's in a simple button-down and jeans, no place to hide any meaningful weapons, and faces away from Driver—exposes his vulnerable side, forgoes line of sight—to crouch in front of two boys who have been so silent he only now notices.
“C'mere,” the man mutters. He hoists one of them up and into his arms. The boy rests his cheek on the man's shoulder with a quiet sniffle, eyes squeezed shut. His small hands wrap around the man's nape in a death grip. He has a SpongeBob-patterned bandaid on his nose bridge.
The other boy grips onto the man's shirt hem with just as much vigor, though his eyes are wide open. He looks up at Driver with pointed eyes, clear and devastatingly full of suspicion.
They look at each other for half a moment of contemplative quiet.
Then, softly, “What floor?” Driver asks.
The elevator door closes.

Driver moves to the new apartment. Instead of Irene, his neighbor is kind teacher Ryland Grace with two twin younger brothers he's taking care of.

He doesn’t mean for it to happen that way. He sees the asphalt before he reaches it.
He thinks, Ilya.

Summary
“We all got our sins to reckon with,” he says quietly. “My wife, your daddy, all of Vault-Tec, me, even you. That’s the price of livin’. Of survivin’.”
He thinks of Janey. He can still see the first time she walked to him with her own small, two feet. Tiny hands outstretched with a gummy smile.

Summary
The last shot is accompanied by the trail of a cry, shrill, angry, fearful. Arthur lowers his revolver. Blinks. Tongues at a bloody tooth from getting hit while strangling an O’Driscoll, spits red mucus onto one of the bodies on the floor.
The crying starts up again, as if sensing Arthur’s confusion. For a moment, Arthur thinks it must be some poor lady these savages have taken alongside the house, but quickly knows it to be untrue. It’s too—wet, pointless in a way only the young can manage, knowing that something is wrong but not knowing what. Just a shout, not the bellowing anguish of someone who knows what god-awful situation they have been put in.
“Christ,” he says, once, twice. “Christ.”
or
Arthur accidentally adopts a baby, and, despite his best judgement, ends up starting to raise him. He falls in love with Charles along the way.

Summary
Bode clears his throat, barely audible, but it snaps Cal out of his concentrated peace. His eyes, startlingly green and something Bode will never get used to, pierce Bode clean like a knife. Bode has to scramble to throw up a shield to guise himself before he feels Cal’s quiet presence reach out for him.
It’s warm. Bode wants to instinctively reach back, return Cal’s gentle prodding with something real. For a dangerous, desperate moment, Bode sincerely considers coming clean right then and there. I work for the Empire. I want to leave. I want to join you. I don’t want to deceive you anymore.
“You have a scratch there,” Bode says instead. His voice is too quiet for his liking. “Should get it patched up.”
or
Bode struggles with his feelings for Cal. In the end, the betrayal doesn't happen.
