Jean in every other universe is marked with the number ‘4’, a very unlucky number in Japan and a homophone for “death” and in every other universe Jean dies.
However, in this one Jean takes Nathaniel’s number, ‘3’, a lucky number symbolising stability and abundance. And he lives.
Neil would be marked with ‘4’, marked for death, but Lola burned it off. And he survives.
THIS IS THE MOST THOUGHFUL, PAINFUL, BEAUTIFUL THOUGHT I HAVE EVER HEARD AND I HATE BUT ALSO LOVE IT SM
