"Mathematical parallels. It's plausible to hypothesize that these patterns will be reflected in events and people in each dimension. That people who have met in one quantum reality will be likely to meet in another. Certain things that happen will happen over and over, in different ways, but more often than you could explain by chance alone," ― Claudia Gray, A Thousand Pieces Of You

One message from Mom

As Kai sees the notification, she excitedly opens it. Her mom rarely contacts her, so she's really happy when she receives a text from her.

Mom, my partner, and I did an experiment in a city nearby, and then after that, we're gonna meet Chan and others at the pub that Jinyoung owns. You still remember them, right? Don't worry, I'll drink moderately.

Mom

Kai
Okay, mom. Have you eaten dinner? Don't skip meals, okay? I love you and I miss you so much, mom. I really hope you'll come home soon.

Kai excitedly checks the email, but the excitement fades away in an instant when she sees the name of the file that her mom sent her.

Wedding Invitation? Who's getting married, and why did mom send this to me?

Confused and a bit scared, Kai forces herself to open it. She finds herself holding her breath when she reads her mother's name on it, along with a guy she recognizes very well. Her grip on the phone tightens.
