Summary
In a world narrowed to quarantine lines and evacuation quotas, Lieutenant Ghost decides who lives and who dies.
John MacTavish survives the first inspection by luck. He survives the second by usefulness.
After that, he stays by choice.
As trust turns to influence and influence turns to something softer, the man at the front of the line realises he isn’t making decisions alone anymore — and maybe he doesn’t want to.

Summary
Steve sort of feels like maybe he spent his whole life mourning what his father was and now that he’s dead, maybe it’ll be like Jonathan said. Maybe he’ll need to mourn everything he wasn’t.
Or: Steve's dad dies suddenly and he doesn't know how to process his grief. Jonathan, however, is there to help hold him together.
