Summary
The two men now looked at each other, Boris smiled slightly and his hand was still on Valery's back who had come even closer continuing to speak as if he should be heard only by him. The politician's tired and sad eyes began to water and the younger man didn't understand why, there could be a million reasons, he suddenly remembered what he had told him moments before; Who knows if it will happen again Valery.
"Anyway, I think so," he said.
"What?"

Summary
When the Soviet state needs to marry off its brilliant but unbonded Omega scientist, Valery Legasov, to stabilize the Chernobyl crisis, hardened Alpha Boris Scherbina volunteers—for paperwork's sake. He expects a liability, not the quietly competent man who turns their bleak quarters into a sanctuary, or who shivers until Boris shares his bed for warmth. But when Valery’s traumatic heat hits—all agony, no desire—the paper marriage shatters. Boris’s instinct to protect ignites, forging a real bond built on scent, shelter, and the fierce, quiet vow to guard the most fragile mind in the zone from a world that has done nothing but break him.

Summary
He reaches. He reaches further and closer as he feels himself beginning to fade. But he can’t give up. Black clouds the edges of his vision and he keeps reaching out. He stretches further and further and –

All around him Thomas Jopson feels the scrutiny and worry of the men around him. Men who, when it came down to it, left him to die alone.
He promptly blacks out.or: Upon dying, Jopson's consciousness is transferred back in time to before everything went wrong, leaving him to deal with what he knows.
