Summary
“She can be determined at times, but as you can see, she is manageable.”
Lucy believed Vault-Tec existed to keep people safe. The Mainframe shattered that certainty and with it her faith that anyone can be trusted.
After a brutal escape from New Vegas leaves her injured and shaken, Lucy finds herself choosing proximity to The Ghoul rather than walking away. Between violence, barbed words, and the unbearable weight of what they’ve both lost, survival becomes a delicate negotiation of boundaries, leverage, and split-second choices that rarely come without cost.
As old secrets surface and new horrors emerge, Lucy must reckon with what it means to stay and what she might lose by doing so.
Trust is a liability. Obedience may be worse.
Post–S2E7 continuation. Canon divergence ahead.
