"So coincidences are likely more just the laws of physics following an even more important set of universal constants," Cain summarized.

With everything else on their plate, they didn't need to borrow trouble until they'd cleared their first helping.

Because for one thing, an existence like Skulduggery's was entirely against everything he knew about the relationship between death and living and whatever you called the in between. Considering the state of his own soul in how Solomon Wreath apparently perceived it, the same could be said of himself to other universal laws, and wasn't that the kicker?
