In the aftermath of the nuclear disaster 27 years ago, many children were born with physical deformities and health problems. Roddy was born with his heart outside of his ribcage; as a result, he wears a protective case around it. He is sickly and frail, and Dahlia doesn’t let him get out much. She has kept him out of the spotlight, to the point that the general public is unaware of his existence. Roddy hasn’t spent much time (if any!) around other children and is not very well socialized.
