rod makes me so so insane even all these years later. logan who believes the lie that he’s more cutthroat than he is, lying to himself that he’d cut and run when it was time only to cling to scraps of affection. mona who doesnt carry the same defensiveness about trust that colt and logan do, who refused to let herself be tied down, taking the fall for a pretty girl once more, finally finding someone worth trusting. colt watching his father burn up and wish only that his son escapes a life he never knew any differently from only for his death to solidify colt’s reclamation of it.
Nick got the scumbag who did it he was a former raider and claimed to be "reformed" so he attempted to rob The Perkins Family
He murdered the mother and father but spared their daughter but not out of kindness but because he knew the Diamond City security would've heard the commotion
Diamond City had no orphanage and McDonough and the Diamond City security had no problem with having the young Ellie Perkins living on the streets but it didn't sit right with Nick so he adopted her
