Summary
He used to imagine what it’d be like to die in the suit. Alerts would sound and reverberate in his skull. He can't decide whether it'd be cold and cruel, or maybe it'd be warm if he gave in to it. Robert's not like that, though; he fights even when he shouldn't.
“And what do you feel when you imagine that, dying in the suit like your father did?” A voice filters slowly through the space like the faint stream of incense wafting up into the air. Robert watches it fizzle out to nothing, silently praying it’ll accidentally set off the fire alarms.
“Like I’m dying,” he says, flat and dry to match the deadpan stare he gives her.
Unsurprisingly, SDN’s mental health services are well-intended but ultimately useless.

As Torrance and SDN struggle to re-build, Mandy and Robert do as well.

Summary
Following Shroud's imprisonment, Mandy and Robert take a moment together to rebuild.
-
Mandy was perched on the hood of the car still, knees tucked against her chest as she observed the chaos float right by her for once. No reporters badgered her for statements or blinded her with the flash of their cameras. It was just Mandy stripped down to her plain gym wear and brown hair.“Plans?” She arched a questioning brow. Robert’s slight smile was mirrored in her own as he reached down to scratch behind Beef’s ear. Among all the chaos, she steadied him so easily with just a look.
“We never did get around to that second date.” Robert slipped his hands into the pockets of his slacks as a lazy shrug rolled through his shoulders.
“Are you really trying to ask me out right now?” Mandy’s cheeks drew up with her lips as she stared up at him in disbelief.
“Is now a bad time?”
“The entire city was just on fire and you just got shot, so I’d say yeah.” She paused before softening. “Ask me tomorrow.”
“I will,” Robert said, and meant it.

Summary
“I don’t know that my dad would be proud,” Robert says carefully, words even and plain like his relationship with his father was simple. “I don’t know if he would if I killed Shroud or not. I guess it’s hard to say if you never really knew someone.”
Mandy softens at the admission, her palm lifting between them to cradle his face. Days-old stubble pricks her skin as her thumb rubs along the curve of his jaw. Robert's fingers latch loosely around her wrist, keeping her there with him. She makes no move to retreat from him as his eyes flutter shut and a low exhale puffs from his lips.
Get up. The stiff, rough voice of Robert "Robbie" Robertson II reverberates in Robert's skull as everything slows.
“I’m proud of you,” she says, so firm and sure that it’s hard not to believe her.
—
As members of the Red Ring linger in Torrance following the final battle with Shroud, a mission goes awry when a kid gets caught in the crossfire. Robert struggles to get back up. Mandy's there, because she always is. (Inspired by issue 3)

Summary
Qifrey, most days, had a hard time looking directly at Olruggio. If he looked right at Olruggio, he’d see the golden tassel, innocently attached to the point of Olruggio’s cap, and his stomach would twist until he felt like he was going to hurl. He bounced on the balls of his feet, suddenly feeling uncertain, because if Olruggio was the one crying it’d be even harder to look at him.

A few months after they had challenged the Tower of Tomes, Qifrey happens upon Olruggio crying alone in his room. Qifrey is terribly out of his depth. He tries anyway.Bookmarked by norki
