   Summary

   Christopher did not expect he'd have to convince Amanda Ripley to take his offer to board the Torrens. And he did not expect to develop such sympathy for her either.
   As for Amanda, fifteen years of building up walls is not enough to guard her from the affection she feels towards Samuels, who might be the most humane person she's met in a long time.

   Alt POV following the events of the game up until Samuels' death. Then we'll see.
