Prior to their encounter, he is a doctoral student who manages his destructive thoughts with compulsive calculations about time travel; she is a bipolar counterfeit artist, undergoing court-ordered psychotherapy. By the end of the story, these things will still be true. But this is not a story about endings. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFor Regan, people are predictable and tedious, including and perhaps especially herself. She copes with the dreariness of existence by living impulsively, imagining a new, alternate timeline being created in the wake of every rash decision. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTo Aldo, the world feels disturbingly chaotic. He gets through his days by erecting a wall of routine: a backbeat of rules and formulas that keep him going. Without them, the entire framework of his existence would collapse. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFor Regan and Aldo, life has been a matter of resigning themselves to the blueprints of inevitability--until the two meet.
