Danse in Context

Oh my sweet babygirl husband let me protect and cherish you.

I know he has some strong opinions but poor man was raised by a cult and I can make him better.

What the hell did you think I hoarded all the RadAway for, bitch?!

Now That's What I Call Fallout Textposts Volume 40

Fucker's burning the candle at every end possible and then some trying to keep things running. Inventing some kind of safe haven. Trying to avoid perpetuating his family's mistakes—his brother's mistakes—by going the opposite direction. The top floor of his mayoral building is reserved for folks with nowhere to go or who need to crash, not a fancy domicile or office. Hell, his office has couches instead of desks. He's not turning folks away; he's welcoming the freaks, not demonizing any kind of substance use, being openly opposed to the Institute instead of ignoring or denying it exists while still being fairly tolerant of synths, even if he's not jumping onto the Railroad train. Heck, guy's got a Join the Railroad holotape in his office, and he's cultivated enough of an open-minded culture that you can find multiple others around town.

He's got some kind of haunted survivor guilt and gifted kid burnout/obligations (that wunderkind/prodigy feeling of being, so to speak, burdened with glorious purpose). He tried to kill himself and ended up with the possibility of immortality and possibly madness; he pushes himself like he's got an imminent death sentence hanging overhead. He's only been mayor a few years. He's scrambling to figure out how to run things and in the middle of that realizes he might be losing sight of what drives him in the first place. He's running from himself and running towards the person he's convinced he needs to be. He's ditched everything about himself and his family down to the dermis. He's the second person you meet and he kills a member of the community for threatening, depending on your interpretation, either a stranger or his own position. (As opposed to exiling a community member for writing unflattering articles about him and his administration.)
