    Summary

    Ugh, and he has been doing so well, too. Now he’ll have to travel back here in order to regather the resources he scavenged. If it’s all not stolen by the time he gets here…

    So much for not letting his teammates down. And he knows how this will go. When he respawns back at the base, they’ll attempt to hide their disappointment with soft words but eyes that say Oh this guy again. They’ll tell him it’s okay it happens to the best of us, it’s fine, when it’s not, nothing is right, don’t they realize that? People have died on this island, some of them have loved ones that died, and with one wrong mistake, any one of them can be next—

    ===========

    Or: Missa runs into Phil during Purgatory while he’s totally coping well with suddenly learning that his brother is dead.

    Not talking about his loss at all is a good coping mechanism, right?

    Summary

    By all social landmarks, Phil has a good life. He's on the edge of middle age, married relatively recently to a man he loves, with a house in the suburbs and a remote office job. It's just a little... directionless. An obsessively tended vegetable garden and no particular skill for self-reflection don't ward off his restlessness.

    When a mysterious preteen boy turns up at his door with nowhere else to turn, everything is about to change.
