Gorgeous. I love the tight focus on Derek and his family, blood and chosen, and his loss of both. That some of that loss is down to his choices, some of that is out of his hands and an argument could be made for how losing one led to losing the other. Love the final shot you chose for this, that exhausted look on his face but determined lift of his head. I think that says a lot about Derek. And the song which is so fitting because for someone like Derek who's lost that much but keeps going, there must still be some kind of belief or hope ("to dance to victory dance", whatever that victory is and maybe that or the way he goes about it changes) that it's worth it.
