I was still considering X'ian's unexplained theory, You can't get sick with two things at once, when Riley, one of the men in the helicopter, who was sitting next to me, whispered, "How's life for you?" I rolled my eyes in agitation.

Who the fuck asks that when you know that life's bad for every damn person?
