A Journey of Unexpected Life and Hope
Kee
You know, when I started puking, I thought I catch the pest. But then my belly started getting big. Nobody ever told me these things. I never seen a pregnant woman before. But I knew. I felt like a freak. I didn't tell nobody. I thought about the Quietus thing. Supposed to be suave. Pretty music and all that. Then the baby kicked. I feel it. Little bastard was alive. And I feel it. And me, too. I am alive.

Faith and Chance in a Changing World
Jasper
Julian and Theo met among a million protesters in a rally by chance. But they were there because of what they believed in in the first place, their faith. They wanted to change the world. And their faith kept them together. But by chance, Dylan was born.
Kee
This is him?

Jasper
Yeah, that's him. He'd have been about your age. Magical child. Beautiful. Their faith put in praxis.
Miriam
Praxis"? What happened?
Jasper
Chance. He was their sweet little dream. He had little hands, little legs, little feet. Little lungs. And in 2008, along came the flu pandemic. And then, by chance, he was gone. You see, Theo's faith lost out to chance. So, why bother if life's going to make its own choices?
Kee
Baby's got Theo's eyes.
Jasper
Yeah.
Miriam
Oh, boy. That's terrible. But, you know, everything happens for a reason.
Jasper
That, I don't know. But Theo and Julian would always bring Dylan. He loved it here.
