Who was too scared to protect his fellow drifters from Vic and his boys. I just couldn’t stand looking at the bastard I saw in the mirror anymore. The coward who’d let all those Ghouls from Diamond City die. The drug that did this to me, that made me a Ghoul, I knew what it was going to do. "Running from yourself? What do you mean?” Well, I mean, I didn’t always look this good.I know a lot of bookies that’d disagree with you. All that matters is what you do from here on out.” Heh. “And how long’s it going to be before you abandon me too?" Hey, things keep going the way they’re going, you’ve got nothing to worry about.“You may have run, but you always ran for a reason, Hancock.” Been trying to convince myself of that for a long time, but hearing that coming from someone like you… I don’t know if you understand what that means to me.And that maybe all my running, from my life, myself… maybe it wasn’t such a bad thing after all. But being out here with you, it’s made me realize just how small time I’d been thinking. I thought I’d done something I could hang my hat on.

I turned one of the nastiest settlements in the Commonwealth into a refuge for the lost. But whether it’s fate or destiny or just god damn coincidence, I ended up with someone like you. I mean, I left Goodneighbor thinking I was gonna just sharpen up the ‘ol killer instinct. And running, it’s the furthest thing from my mind. Took up with you just to get outta Goodneighbor. Hell, running from myself is what made me into… into a damn Ghoul But being here with you, for the first time in my life, things have just felt… right.

It’s just, being out here with you, it’s made me realize most of my life to this point, I’ve been running out on the good things I got. I skipped out on my family, my life in Diamond City. Hey, when you got time, I got something I still need you to hear.
