Background information

• These shorts were not produced/released in any particular order, though once they were combined they were ordered by when they occurred in-universe from earliest to latest. The only exceptions are "The Decisions We Make..." and "...and the Consequences We Reap", which is a framing story that takes place at some point after all the events.
• Originally the the stories would have been based on the main character but it was changed to include several minor characters as it was unlikely some of them would be more then a background mention or their chances of reappearing were negligible.
