In this excerpt from Nevermore by James Patterson, the narrator reflects on the predictability of daily routines and normalcy. They question whether the familiar patterns of doing the same things every day are truly normal or just predictable, highlighting a sense of uncertainty or discomfort with routine life.

The narrator's words suggest an underlying tension, as they admit that if normal routines are just about certainty, then the idea of daily sameness might soon overwhelm them, leading to feelings of panic or the need to escape. This captures a moment of introspection and unease about the stability of their daily life.
