Summary
Alfred quit smoking back in the 70's after the end of the Vietnam war, when anti-smoking was on the rise and he could care enough to stop. It's something he would pick up again during tumultuous times, as old habits die hard, but he hadn't been seen smoking in the last two decades. In the last ten or so years, Alfred has experienced isolation due to his bosses whims and political upheaval. The other nations have heard more and more about the USA but have seen less and less of Alfred. Since the start of 2025 he was only seen during mandatory world meetings, and he's been looking worse for wear.

Summary
I lived with this hunger long before the Hail Mary. This is nothing new. I’m fine.
Right up until Rocky asks another question.
“When last time you touch other human person skin, question?”
Oh. Oh no. “When I… a few days after I first woke up here.”
Rocky starts to relax for a split second, but then tightens when something occurs to him.
“Grace crewmates dead when you wake up. You said this, statement. You not even know your own name, remember nothing, see dead bodies, confirm?”
I nod, because if I open my mouth I will gag.
“When last time Grace touch ALIVE human person, question.”
I swallow thickly. I don’t answer aloud because I know Rocky can hear the hitch in my breath. My stomach churns with fresh bile. He senses my vital signs tick over into stress patterns and goes very, very still again.
“Grace. When last time, question.”
I clench my jaw so hard my temples ache, and beg him with my eyes to just stop.
“Grace. Please say not when… when Evil Stratt humans put you to sleep.”
I can taste grass.

Summary
“Think of it in this way: suppose I make two statements. Statement one: “After I die, I shall be reborn as a baby… but I shall forget my former life.” Statement two: “After I die… a baby will be born.” Now, I believe that those two statements are saying exactly the same thing.”—Alan Watts

Summary
The clock hit 7:55, and a knock sounded on the front door. Harry practically bounced across the room, honestly overjoyed to see whoever it was on the other side. No matter what, they were taking him away from the Dursleys, and that was all that mattered. He heard Vernon’s lumbering steps entering the hall, accompanied by the sharp click of Petunia’s heels, but he raced to reach the door first. A wide grin stretched his cheeks to their limits as he threw open the door.
And the smile fell right off his face.
Shrouded in darkness, fog swirling around the hem of his long, dark robes, face as dour as ever, and hair casting cruel shadows across his face, stood Severus Snape.
