Summary
“I don’t like hospitals,” Adrian whined.
Something snapped in Chris. How could Adrian act like everything was fine? He hasn’t uttered one word about what he did. “Well, you’ll end up in one if you shoot yourself in the head, Vig!” Chris shouted before he could stop himself.
Adrian flinched, guilt flashing across his face as his shoulders curled inward.
Or; After ARGUS arrests peacemaker again, Adrian is struggling to cope with him leaving and the fact that he technically killed Chris' dad.

Summary
According to Nolan, when he first arrived on Viltrum, he had been a complete mess. He always told that story with a smug smile. He said Mark didn’t want to fight, that he cried, refused to raise his fists. Until one day, during a conquest, he tried to protect some children. Mark didn’t remember that, but his father said the kids had insulted him. And that day, something in Mark broke. Or changed. Or awoke. He killed them. All of them. Without thinking. And from that moment on, fighting became his only language.
Mark never understood how he could have been different before. He couldn’t imagine a world without violence. He didn’t sleep well unless he had fought. It was his only way to escape the constant knot in his chest, that nameless thing that haunted him even in dreams. Fighting was the only thing that made him feel real, solid—as if his existence wasn’t just a shadow floating between his father’s expectations.
Another thing his father always said was that it had taken him time to accept that Viltrumites were superior.

Summary
When Nolan arrived home that afternoon, he knew immediately something was off.
The silence was too thick. No childish yelling, no footsteps rushing to greet him. Not even Debbie’s soft voice from the kitchen. Just a distant murmur upstairs, like the house itself was holding its breath.
He sighed. Dropped his coat on the back of the couch without bothering to hang it. He didn’t feel the cold — his Viltrumite blood made him immune. But the temperature wasn’t what bothered him.
He was tired.
Tired of pretending.
Tired of smiling at idiotic neighbors.
Tired of working as a mediocre writer on this backward planet.
Tired of faking love for creatures he considered inferior.
Tired of birthdays, schools, parties, ridiculous human traditions.
Tired of waiting.But today could change everything.
Today was the day.
