Summary
It is known to all that Sophie Foster has the fucking weirdest taste in music. It's not so strange anymore when it saves her.
Keefe was fortunate enough to be part of the group of people directly supporting her, but there's not much that he can do, especially after all that he has done. When Sophie, in all her desperation and frustration, reaches out for him, he's going to do all it takes to ensure that she'll be fine.
Sometimes, it's not the grand sweeping actions or expensive gifts. Sometimes people just need someone to talk to.

Summary
He slipped it out one-handed, thumb swiping the screen. A notification from Instagram sat at the top – new DM. He opened it without really thinking, expecting another fan question about a posted look or a polite request for tips. The account name was a string of random letters and numbers. No profile picture. No posts. No bio. Just one message. You like your Americanos in the mornings.

Summary
“Swordsman,” Robin greets, beckoning Zoro to the counter with a graceful wave of her hand. “What is it you seek today?”
“Do you have any spell books about swords that are stuck?” he asks as plainly as possible.
Robin regards him in return. “Is it the blade itself? Or the swordsman?” she muses quietly.
“Just the blade,” Zoro answers quickly. He doesn't need her prying, doesn't want that eerie foresight of hers to be a prophecy he fulfills. Whatever Perona says, he’s not stuck in a training arc—hell, he’s having an adventure right now, isn’t he?

Summary
Sydney thinks that if she found out she was pregnant a little earlier she probably wouldn’t have gone through with it. Like, if she found out before her landlord changed the locks on her apartment, or before the bank sent her all those red letters, or before the pasta dried up, she’d probably have just taken herself to Planned Parenthood, popped the pills and charged it to the game. But as it is, the two blue lines appear on the stick during the worst months of her life, the first months of the pandemic when she’s unemployed and shit scared that her dad is going to get coronavirus and die. And when she sees them, she just thinks: well, this might as well happen. She was a disappointment before. What’s one more thing?
Before she meets Carmy, Sydney has a baby.

Summary
Sometimes there's nothing to do but wait and hope.
In a situation such as the one Fontaine is facing, it is necessary to triage, to prioritize. The people of Fontaine need clean water, unspoiled food, shelter that will not collapse on them in the night, and they need these things immediately. Exports may not be restored for months.
It is only logical that exports of medicine made from a variant of Beryl Conch to treat a condition found in less than one in ten thousand people will be low on the list of priorities.
Even if that medicine is the only barrier between Alhaitham and a gradual slide into death.
