Thinking about "You're have no immediate family. You dont even have a dog." And like duh thats devestating, but theres also the fact that the people telling him this are people hes been working with for 4 years at this point. Theres this quiet implication thats not just "you have no family no pets and no partners therefore you have no one to leave behind" its also "we, your coworkers who you might have called friends and who have been at your side while we all save the world for close to half a decade, are not close enough to you to even be mentioned in Stratts little speech. We will not stop this, we wont even protest or apologize. You have no friends at you side in your final moments." And i think thats even more heartbreaking honestly.

What drives me insane is living with the knowledge that one word from Eddie and we'd have our Buddie canon. I can't imagine a world where Buck rejects him. Eddie could point his angry finger at Buck and say "mine", and Buck would say yes and fall to his knees right then and there.
