[ Neil shifts and moves, and Alex wonders if that's why he can breathe. These arms on him, in this stupid locked vault.
Why did he feel like that?
Alex shifts, so he can turn his head to look at Neil. ]
Because. I'm going to have to step up and start cleaning up after the mess I made. No one else is going to do it and it needs done. Just because there's no more contenders doesn't mean the Mojave is fine and dandy. People need restoration from the war, and I need to make sure people are safe. Healthy. That the raiders and fiends don't come back. Rebuild Boulder City. Nipton. Make it a place for people to live. To actually live. A place people are happy in. I'm not going to keep running away from that just because the weight on me got a little heavier.
