   Summary

   Finney never intended to be the one to kill their attacker, but survival forced his hand.

   After they escaped, Finney only remained friends with Robin. He didn't want to befriend the others and constantly relive the memories of what he saw down there. He only needed his longtime best friend, but fate had other ideas. Through their recovery, the six survivors connected and overlapped in their own ways and revealed the simple truth that healing alone wasn't an option.

   Finney didn't want to befriend the others, but fate forced his hand.
