sole being gravely injured

Hancock: They knew better, they knew better. Hancock pressed his fists into his forehead. Sole was bleeding out, right there in front of him on some dirty Goodneighbor back alley. The shady chem dealers were already painting the concrete with the inside of their skulls, but so was his Sole. They knew better than to jump in front of him like that. "Gah, why 'ya gotta go and do stuff like that?" Hancock kneels beside Sole and bends down to rest his forehead on their tummy. They had already stopped breathing; he noticed that whenever his head kept sitting perfectly still on Sole's armor. The ghoul scrunched up his face and clenched his teeth; it was all he could do without his tear ducts.

He doesn't cry, and he doesn't sob or moan. He just sits there for a while, waiting for Sole's heat to eventually disperse because he knows that when he finally notifies Dr. Amari, that would be the last time he ever got to see Sole. So he lay there, silently staring at Sole's long vacated expression. He eventually reaches out to grasp one of their hands. They're starting to feel cold. He lets out a shuddering sigh. It's time.

Getting up felt awful, like there was a lead ball rolling around in his head. Hancock finally began to break down as he picked Sole up. He had to bite on his bottom lip to keep it from trembling, and almost bit down hard enough to draw blood when a sob worked its way to the surface. When he entered the Memory Den's basement, Dr. Amari took Sole from his arms. She let him say one last goodbye. Hancock gives Sole one last touch to their hand, "See ya later pal."

Nick: "I can't believe you!" Nick scolded Sole. "That was stupid! That was beyond stupid! I can be replaced with parts Sole, you can't!" Nick crushed Sole to his chest as he made a mad dash to the Old Church. Barreling into Railroad HQ, Nick shoves Drummer Boy out of his way. He needs to see Carrington. "I need some help here dammit!" Nick yelled. "Calm down Mr. Valentine, please! Let me see Charmer." The doctor swiped all of the equipment off one of the desks sitting around and ordered Nick to put Sole there. Nick forced his hands to release Sole, but he still hovered over Carrington. A small audience had begun to form a little ways from scene. "If I could have some space please, everyone." Carrington frowns at the gathering agents.

Nick left with the others and marched outside. It was too crowded for him to think down in that awful crypt. That thought would've made him vomit if he could. About a pack of cigarettes later, Drummer Boy came up to fetch him. "Dr. Carrington's got them stable, but..." The messenger lets the sentence die on his lips. Nick understands well enough. This might be Sole's last night here in the Commonwealth, in his life.

As he walked back in, Nick saw Sole resting on a secluded mattress in the back of HQ. He took a seat beside their head. "Hey kid." The silence was killing him. "Did I ever tell you about the time I tracked Ellie while she was on a date? The guy was a real creep, but Ellie had never been more embarrassed to see me in her entire life. Heh." Nick blinked a few times as if tears were forming in his yellow eyes. "I got another one for ya," and Nick began telling Sole all of his best detective stories to a sleeping Sole. He stayed with them until he saw the last breath leave their body. Nick squeezed his hands into fists as he closed his eyes. Without another word, he left the building. As he pulled out his last cigarette, he regrets not being able to tell Sole his stories while they were still alive to enjoy them.

MacCready: "No, SOLE!" MacCready tried to stop Sole, but it was too late. They had already pushed their way in front of the aimed gun. "SOLE!" Two shots rang out. One from the bullet that blew through the raider's head, and one from the bullet that was meant for MacCready, but pierced Sole's heart instead. MacCready could only watch as Sole slowly sunk to the ground. The mercenary hopped over his cover and ran to Sole, dropping his gun in the process. He fell to his knees and grabbed Sole underneath their upper body and put their head on his lap. Sole was halfway breathing through gurgling blood, and their eyes kept focusing in and out on MacCready's face.
