[She isn't one of them, not yet. Not for lack of trying.]
A lot of how you live depends on luck, and that's what scares people. Whether your best friend or roommate disappears tomorrow- you can't control that. If your girlfriend or brother vanishes, they might come back three days later- from years in the future, where they're angry at you for something you haven't done yet.
But then again... there are a lot of incredibly unique chances here. Chances you might never get anywhere else, or ever again. I actually know my sons. [...] One of them was older than me, but... still.
