    Summary

    The moment Mr. Keating tells them about the Dead Poets' Society, something hard knots low in Todd's stomach. He's never been good with clubs or societies, with things that require you to formally spend time with others. Sucking the marrow out of life sounds like the sort of thing they've been doing already, even if Mr. Keating is probably referring to something more dramatic (better) than what they've been doing in class. But words dripped from our tongues like honey sounds kind of intimidating, and Gods were created sounds like the kind of thing Todd ought to just avoid entirely.

    Summary

    The engraved words are so simple that it almost suffocates him to look at them.

    Neil Perry, Beloved son, Born: June 2, 1942, Died: December 15, 1959.

    How a whole person can be described in two words, Todd has no idea. And it’s not like those words rang true when he was alive.

    ---

    Or, Todd goes to Neil's grave to reflect. There, he comes face to face with something that's been brewing under the surface ever since Neil's death.

    Summary

    Professor Keating was aware of just how special his connection with his students was. He knew they saw him not only as a teacher but also a mentor, and he tried his best to rise up to the task. He knew he was out of his depth, however, when a pair of his best students confessed to him what they felt for each other.

    This, he was not equipped to handle. He could only keep their secrets and hope.

    Or, alternatively: Todd and Neil come out to Keating and try to make sense of their feelings for each other
