Is buttons (fallout) allowed to be happy for more than 15 minutes at a time or is he the punching bag? He just radiates this pitiful vibe. I want to give him an ice pack and a little box of cereal to nibble on.
Meg makes him happier than anything or anyone in the Vault.
It's possible he would have crawled back in there to have a miserable rest of his life if it wasn't for his newfound freedom in the wasteland and the meaningful relationships he made along he way.

In the mind Matrix — the Neocortex is responsible for being able to look at the bigger picture — to think, learn, analyze and decide, rationally beyond subjective perceptions in the current moment.
‘Wake up Neo’ — awakening is about clearing yourself of all the projections and beliefs imprinted upon your subconscious mind, so your conscious mind (the ego) can make logical decisions that align with your highest path.
Free yourself by educating yourself, by continuously learning and growing, by opening your mind.
Ignorance is not bliss.

You know what would be the worst? If at the end of the war when all is said and done, after the clones lost every little thing they had, after Vaders rise and the Jedi’s fall, after all that death and hardship and misery? It would be terrible to be a clone and wake up like suddenly coming out of a coma, in a stasis chamber that they grew up in and rarely left, there was the craziest dream just before and there’s the lingering feeling something important just happened, this is Kamino 35bby, all the information they were just fed is already neatly stored in their perfect flash-memory brain. No ones died yet, all of that was a simulation based on a calculation of events to instal orders and hone the discipline of troops. It’s dark, there’s no way of telling if anyone or anything exists beyond the boundary’s of the inside. There’s a designated call sign and designation along with vitals displayed in the line of vision, it’s also counting down the seconds to when a new simulation is set to begin.

My Top 10 Books of the Year
Mill Town, Kerri Arsenault
Part memoir, part expose of the paper industry in Rumford, Maine, you could spend weeks mulling this onion of a book without reading the center
Death Comes for the Archbishop, Willa Cather
Pastoral and meandering, in this classic nothing happens and everything happens. It’s a story about small kindnesses (and big kindnesses) that add up to a life well lived.
Those Who Leave and Those Who Stay, Elena Ferrante
The Story of the Lost Child, Elena Ferrante
A two for one deal here as these are the back half of Ferrante’s masterful Neapolitan Quartet. The entire time you’re in awe of a genius at work.
Matrix, Lauren Groff
Literary and willfully subversive. Set in a medieval French abbey, it offers a glimpse of a world that could have been if only there’d existed a woman with the heroine’s force of will.
The Once and Future Witches, Alix E. Harrow
The more well versed in history you are, the better this blend of historical fiction and fantasy is. It’s still a helluva fun ride even if you’re aren’t well versed.
Galatea, Madeline Miller
A feminist retelling of the Pygmalion myth from my favorite working author as I eagerly await her next novel (foot tapping).
Little Fires Everywhere, Celeste Ng
What happens when two women with incompatible world views collide in a suburban Ohio? I think the title says it all.
The Underground Railroad, Colson Whitehead
Again the more you know your history the better this novel is. Regardless, if it doesn’t make you angry on at least six different levels there’s something wrong with you.
The Lobster Coast, Colin Woodward
The history of Maine as told through its most visible export, written in a lively style and grounded in well researched chapters? Yes, please!
