[Why should it fall to her to ruin somebody's day? Sorry, pal, everyone you loved might be dead in a few weeks. Sorry, your world turns to shit. Sorry, it's rough but hey, at least no one dies of old age anymore.
She doesn't want to put that on anyone's shoulders. It might not even happen. There's no saying it will. Even if it were, and she could tell him now, what difference does he make? How many lives could he save?
How many.
Her fingers close over the bite, she squeezes the skin bloodless. Does she get decide that her desire not to be pitied, or looked down on, or coddled is greater than letting someone save their family? She takes a breath.]
Look, it's. It might not even happen, okay? But in my world... where I'm from, let's just say 2013 was kinda a bad year. For everybody. Starting sometime in September.
