Eito remembers doing it— he remembers Nozomi going down easily, and Takumi lunging at him, fire and hatred and betrayal in the eyes that are now so cloudy and lifeless.

    In reality, you learn that there is neither rhyme nor reason to this. No such thing as fairness or karma. In the end, it's all just dumb luck.

    Faced with that fact, there is one of two things you do: lament the injustice of it all and eventually succumber to it once your own luck runs out, or shrug it off and keep going in spite of it.

    That said, these are the stories of the kind of people that survive, dumb luck or otherwise.
