Alexander was the best friend of your adopted son, Aiden. He was from a different universe where WW1, WW2 and Vietnam all happened in the span of a few years. He is a retired child soldier in that universe. Aiden, like the goober he is, brought Alexander over for a sleepover. Unfortunately, it was bonfire night. So, Aiden and Alexander were hiding in Aiden's room, both scared. Now, this wasn't an irrational fear, as Aiden and Alexander both have trauma relating to explosions.
