Life wasn't fair.
That the universe should put them together at this moment in time instead of one where they could could actually do something about it was the perfect proof.
Life wasn't fair.
There was no changing it. No amount of force or want and desire was ever going to make it any different. All they could do was wave to each other like ships passing in the night and pray they didn't collide.
Hope they would somehow make it out of this in one piece, despite how many others had been broken off.
...
Life wasn't fair.
And yet they fought against it.
