This story is the continuation of Behind closed doors so if you haven't read that one I suggest to start there. This novel is more storydriven than BCD and also involves more focus on the other characters in the Overwatch family.
The story picks up...
"This has been going on for days now, we have to do something!" Reinhardt said concerned.
"Help me!! Please!!"
Ana sighed and shook her head.
"I just do not know what," she said distraught. "During the days he hardly says a single word... and during the nights... it is the same thing over and over. Poor boy."
"I just wish that he would tell us what is on his mind," Torbjörn said as he was stroking his beard. "I know that he is worried about this whole armor thing as well the mysterious woman he told me about, but this is something completely different."
"Gaaaaaah! Help.... Help me!!!"
"He is severely traumatized," Ana said as Reinhardt put his arm around her, rubbing her arm to comfort her. "Everything he thought he knew about himself was taken away from him in the matter of a few seconds... and on top of that he lost his brother once again..."
"And Jesse..." Reinhardt filled in in a low voice.
"I am still disappointed that he abandoned Genji like that," Torbjörn grunted.
They all turned their head to the door that lead to the room that was now Genji's bedroom. The screams had turned into whimpers and sobbing.
Ana wiped a tear from her eye and Torbjörn looked down at the floor.
"He is hurting as well," Ana said in a shaky voice. "Jesse... when he gets upset, he needs to be alone... unfortunately."
"Well, we have to do something, with or without Jesse!" Reinhardt exclaimed as he held Ana closer to his body. "It can't go on like this!"
"No.... God, please noooo...."
"I have spoken to Winston," Torbjörn said. "There are improvements we can make. We can certainly increase the security of his systems as well as increasing the reaction time by a few more percent, smoothen out the nerve responses and install emergency shut-downs for those. We could give him a full espionage suite to enable him to combat intrusions directly and furthermore...."
He sighed.
"But he still just keeps saying 'she could' whenever I explain it all to him," Torbjörn continued.
"I wonder who she is," Ana said.
"ANGELA!!!!!"

Ana looked up at Reinhardt and then rushed into Genji's room. She ran up to the ninja and took him in her arms, rocking him back and forth.
"There, there," she tried to comfort him as Genji was sobbing in her arms with sweat running down his face.
