Officer Andrade, 4:32 p.m. Quotes
Graham is always on Andrade’s mind, and today is no exception, with these foster kids in the holding cell who are acting out because their brother is a Decker. You don’t need matching DNA for someone to be your brother, Andrade knows this. And you definitely don’t need the same blood to lose a part of yourself when someone dies.

Explanation and Analysis:
Officer Andrade, who recently lost his partner, Graham, to a violent and suicidal Decker, understands the importance of honoring chosen family. It’s not difficult for him to recognize that even though Malcolm, Tagoe, and Rufus don’t share blood, their bond is nevertheless strong enough to propel Malcolm and Tagoe to jail in order to save Rufus. What Andrade sees, in other words, is boys who are hurting and who need some slack so that they can have the space to grieve. They didn’t put themselves at risk and get in trouble with the police because they’re bad kids; rather, it’s Dolorem et quae. Exercitationem non aut. Eveniet dolor non. Incidunt dolores sunt.

Andrade is doing his damn best to get that snuff channel terminated by the end of the year. No way in hell he can share a beer with Graham in heaven without getting this job done. Andrade wants to focus on his real work, not babysitting. That’s why he has their foster parents signing release forms this very second. Let them go home with firm warnings so they can sleep.
And grieve.
Maybe even find their friend if he’s still alive.

Explanation and Analysis:
The narrator explains that while Andrade did his job in arresting Malcolm and Tagoe, he’s not interested in picking on grieving boys—his goal is to shut down Bangers, a social media platform that encourages Deckers to kill themselves in “unique” ways and rewards the families of those Deckers who die in the most popular way. Andrade understands that if he were to focus on punishing Malcolm and Tagoe, he’d have less bandwidth and fewer resources to deal with the more pressing matters at hand. The existence of Bangers makes it clear that while there may be good, compassionate people like Dolorem et quae. Exercitationem non aut. Eveniet dolor non. Incidunt dolores sunt. Ad dolor at.
