No, I said. I choose the prophecy. It will be about me. Why are you saying that? she cried. You want to be responsible for the whole world? It was the last thing I wanted, but I didn't say that. I knew I had to step up and claim it. I can't let Nico be in any more danger, I said. I owe that much to his sister. I…let them both down. I'm not going to let that poor kid suffer any more.

The protagonist is confronted with a daunting decision regarding a prophecy that could affect the world. Despite their reluctance to bear such responsibility, they feel a deep sense of obligation to protect someone dear to them. They express a strong determination to take on the prophecy, recognizing it as essential to safeguard others, particularly due to previous failures in protecting loved ones.

This internal struggle highlights a theme of sacrifice and duty, as the character grapples with the weight of their choices. They are motivated by a desire to prevent further suffering for those they care about, particularly someone who is already vulnerable. The decision to embrace the prophecy is not just about power; it's about redemption and making amends for past mistakes.

Small towns are like metronomes; with the slightest flick, the beat changes.
by Mitch Albom
Look, if you say that science will eventually prove there is no God, on that I must differ. No matter how small they take it back, to a tadpole, to an atom, there is always something they can't explain, something that created it all at the end of the search. And no matter how far they try to go the other way – to extend life, play around with the genes, clone this, clone that, live to one hundred and fifty – at some point, life is over. And then what happens? When the life comes to an end? I shrugged. You see? He leaned back. He smiled. When you come to the end, that's where God begins.

You say you should have died instead of me. But during my time on earth, people died instead of me, too. It happens every day. When lightning strikes a minute after you are gone, or an airplane crashes that you might have been on. When your colleague falls ill and you do not. We think such things are random.
