    Summary

    After waking up in the Vault, the Sole Survivor discovers that he can finally see a Shadow.
    Can he keep them alive and whole?
    Can he keep himself sane in this new world?
    Can he find his son?

    Nora would've been able to handle this much better than he could...

    Everything is so fucked. Holy shit. Jesus fucking christ!

    He stood, bracing himself with his hands on his knees as he looked out over Concord and the stretch of destruction beyond it. He couldn't stop the tears flowing down his face. He was so cold. Deep deep in his bones, like the ice he'd been sat on hadn't quite left his blood yet.

    Two hundred years. Oh, God, Nora, what do I do? Where do I go!?

    He was screaming in his head. He couldn't get his throat to work or his legs to move. Was he screaming out loud? He didn't know. He could only stare out at what used to be his home and hear the roar in his head. He'd lost his best friend, his son, his life. Everyone he'd ever known was dead.
    Nothing had ever prepared him for this. Nothing.
