Faye is a molecule within the larger action of the bottleneck effect, in which the passing of one molecule through a small opening can ultimately decelerate and create a blockade of particles.
Faye does not know how her existence will impact Carter, Marco, and Cecilia's lives, she is, however, willing to try. But everything around her will begin to slow down, till it almost comes to a stop.
