(kimihiro notes. for a japanese person, the concept is much more apparent, but of course, damien doesn't fit the demographic.)
In Japanese, we have two words that describe events. 'Guzen', or coincidence, and 'hitsuzen', which could be considered fate. In Guzen, all events are meaningless, in the sense that events signify nothing beyond themselves; hitsuzen being the complete opposite.
(a beat later,)
Yuuko-san told me from the get-go that everything is hitsuzen. Us being here? Serves a purpose. My being right here, with you, serves a purpose. People meet people when they're supposed to meet, and people part when their fates are no longer interconnected.
