The passage depicts a heartfelt reunion at an airport, where a group comes together with a sense of unity and support, much like a team in a critical moment. Despite facing numerous hardships, their bond remains strong, rooted in love and loyalty, having endured both successes and setbacks together. Their shared experiences have reinforced their connection, making their reunion emotional and meaningful.

"In the airport we hugged each other all at once, a team huddle but with nothing but a Hail Mary left in our playbook. We'd been through all of this before. We loved each other. We fought for each other. When worlds collapsed we were buried in the rubble together and when we were dug out of the rubble and rescued we all celebrated together." - Miriam Toews, All My Puny Sorrows
