  Summary

  It all went wrong, somehow. A miscalculation. An unconsidered variable.

  Connor existed to stop a war by preventing the deviants from rising up against humans. He was meant to save lives where he could. And yet somehow that led to Hank sitting at his kitchen table, with a loaded gun by his hand.

  How could Connor consider his mission a success if he allowed Hank to pull that trigger?

  Human beings don't get to see how different things could have been if they'd made different choices, or taken other paths. But Connor isn't human.
