Summary
What Bobby could never understand was how the lightning could keep him on the hook, and yet didn’t seem to do the same with the Buckleys.
Bobby’s hands had calluses from how firmly they had held and played with the rosary, his back had bent under the pain of an injury from years before for how many times he had gone to the hospital chapel to kneel for a prayer. He had almost forgotten how to put words together to form sentences that weren't questions about Buck’s condition and drawn-out information about his health. He had taken his first, real breath with Buck’s when they removed the tube, and yet…
And yet the kid’s parents had decided to leave anyway, only a week after their son's discharge.
“And thank you Captain, for taking care of our son.”
Our son, Phillip had said; as if the kid had ever been theirs.
Bobby can't seem to move on after Buck's coma. They have a late-night talk about nothing at all and the kid might, or might have not, called him "Pops" once more.

Summary
And there, Phillip's voice echoed in his head:“When you lose a child, you… you see him everywhere, in all the people he could have become, in all the lives he could have lived. It’s something you can never recover from, someone who can never be replaced!"
Because that was the point, wasn't it?
Buck didn't know how to be a son because he was never anyone's baby; just a reminder of what his parents had lost.
He knew that, but what scratched the walls of his brain was the annoying thought that crept under his skin and whispered the fateful question: did Bobby also see him as nothing more than what his kids could have been?
-
Or, If being someone's son meant living as a fallback, Buck was destined to die in someone else's shadow.
Bobby won't allow that.

Summary
[Sent 12:03] Buck, is there something you want to tell me?
[Sent 12:11] I’ve just spent 5 minutes staring at my phone trying to think of something and I can’t think of anything?
[Sent 12:13] I was referring to your tour of Harbor on Monday. I thought we agreed that you would come to me if you were ever thinking about transferring?

Summary
“When I was little, maybe six or seven, I remember my mom saying that she ‘had to live with a reminder of her loss, staring her in the face every day.’ That’s all I ever was to them. Their grief was a cage, a gilded one, but still. And they locked me and Maddie in there with them. Maybe, doing this, asking them to sign away any claim they have to me? It-it sets them free, sets us all free.”
Bobby’s not thrilled about the metaphor, and even less thrilled about the anecdote.
Stories like that remind Bobby why simply telling the whole truth – that Bobby and Athena were pursuing an adult adoption of Buck – is out of the question. Margaret and Phillip are manipulative at best, abusive at worst; and their reaction to such an announcement would be wholly unpredictable. Keeping the adoption out of things is the best course of action, Bobby knows that. But God does he want to rub it in their faces that, for the rest of his life, he gets to be Buck’s dad and claim him as his son.

Summary
“Mom..” Touya whispered, sounding much too young. More like a young teenager than a grown man.
The quiet became deafening with the lack of a reply.
“M-Mom.” His voice cracked as he tried again, a little louder.
Or
Post war Touya has a nightmare and goes to Rei for comfort (Now with an extra chapter including Keigo!)
