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.
or
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.

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
Dutch caught Hosea's shoulder as he turned away.
"Come on now, Old Girl, you're not–"
The pet name was what did it. Hosea ripped his arm from his shoulder, pulling his revolver and shoving it into his chest. "I. Wasn't. Askin'."
Dutch and Micah return to Clemens Point without Arthur. Hosea does not agree with their synopsis that all is well.

Summary
“I think little humans love you,” Rocky says. “Must. You are—”
He hesitates, thinking.
“Need word. Love very much, but not person. Love thing. Love doing. Need nothing else.”
He has a way of working his limited vocabulary into just the right order. I turn to look at him like a starving animal that’s just been offered food, crumpling under how warm it makes me feel.
“Passionate,” I say weakly. Rocky sings the Eridian word, a multi-layered crescendo of chords that each seem to pour into the next, one by one by one. “I guess I am.”
Rocky gestures with a chain link he’s picked up, getting back to work. “Everything you do, you are focused. Work work work. You teach me language. You teach me human ways. No give up until problem is solved. No rest until stupid. Passion.”
“Darn,” I say, for lack of more intelligent words. Rocky briefly looks up from his chain.
“What, question?”
“I never thought about it like that.”
/////
Or: With nothing to do besides putting together a chain one link at a time, Grace and Rocky find time to have a moment.

Summary
“Without Grace, all Rocky plural perish,” Rocky continued tirelessly, as if he’d been holding all of this back for ages. “All Rocky can do is love savior Grace for rest of life. Rocky Grace ♫♬♩♪.”
It nearly came as a surprise to be confronted with a new Eridian term, but Grace’s brain short-circuited upon hearing these unknown chords. Hardly able to put any sound to his voice, he uttered, “Need word, Rock.”
“Meant to be together forever,” Rocky explained.
Grace took a very shaky breath. “Soulmates,” he defined. “You think we’re soulmates.”
“Rocky no think,” he said, tapping one foot against the bunk to give strength to his words. “Rocky know.”

Summary
“Rocky was waiting for Grace,” he eventually answered. “For many years.”
“So…you think I might be onto something?”
“Yes.” Rocky placed one of his claws against the glass. “Meant to meet. Grace knew it too.”
As if on autopilot, Grace lay his palm against the other side.
“Grace head not in clouds. Grace head near Tau Ceti.”
~~~
Just Grace, Rocky and their love-filled days in outer space.

Summary
Arthur could hear the smile behind Dutch’s words. A part of him ached. “Why now?”
There was a mutual understanding of the question. Whenever they’d pondered about the relentlessness of the world, the why-nows, it was usually spent debating on what started the latest bar fight, why they can't go back to whichever town, or how did so-and-so get himself killed. Each time they concluded without a true answer. There was only moving on. When a minute passed and Dutch still sat silent, idly petting his right hand over his spine, it was clear that now was no exception. But unlike past circumstances, this moment carried with it an unfamiliar tenderness that Arthur had no idea where to bury.Dutch offers Arthur a back rub. It goes according to plan.

Arthur doesn't do well with change. Small changes he can handle, but large ones have always knocked him a little off kilter. Usually he can adjust, given enough time - get his footing back and walk it off.
But not this time.

Summary
With the lantern’s glow flickering inside the tent, their silhouettes would be visible to anyone outside. Arthur thinks, bitterly, that it’s a good thing there ain’t hardly no one left to look.
“He tells me that I’m good.”
Dutch laughs so loud that Arthur flinches. “Well, now it makes sense! The man’s a con artist, of course you’d go to him to hear a lie!”
