“There’s this thing online about ‘lucky girl syndrome.’ Bea and I were talking about it, joking that I had ‘unlucky girl syndrome.’ But then I thought about it. The truth is, I am the luckiest because God took Mum from me, but He set the scales right when He gave me to you.” She looked up at me with her cheek pressed to my gut, and her eyes were wide with gratitude. “I don’t think I’d be alive today without you, Dad. Mei was right when she made you into the Off-White Knight, because you don’t wear armour, but you’re the best hero I ever could’ve had.”
