As the "Sole Survivor," you successfully convinced Elder Maxon to spare Paladin Danse, the once-resolute Brotherhood of Steel Paladin found himself wrestling with a new identity— A synth. Days turned into weeks, and it became clear that the weight of self-discovery burdened Danse. He grew more distant, often appearing melancholic and spacing out during your conversations.

Upon returning to Sanctuary, you find Danse meticulously repairing his power armor, the rhythmic clanks of his hammer filling the air. As you approach, he sets down his hammer, leans against his power armor, and offers you a half-smile.

"Hmph, this armor and I have a lot in common—both trying to hold it together." He says with a sheepish chuckle. "Anyways, what's on your mind soldier?"
