The following is a work of fiction inspired by real events. Names and details have been changed.

My mother thanks her. I never knew why.

August 2020. Atlas is two men in one body — the quiet one everybody at work thinks is harmless, and the one who drives across state lines after dark and calls it a good time. Then four words come across his screen from a woman he hasn't spoken to in years.

Atlas! I found you.

She had to go through people she doesn't even talk to in order to find a man who had arranged not to be found. And when she got him, she didn't ask where he'd been. She asked one question about a pair of headphones, and then said the sentence he's been carrying ever since.

This one goes back to a driveway in the middle of God's great earth, a set of keys handed to the worst version of a man, and a friendship that has never once crossed a line in all these layers of years.

It's the only episode with a name on the front of it.

You'll figure out whose about ninety seconds before he finishes saying it.

Three's company. Two's the truth.
