   Summary

   It’s tough advice, but Juuse takes no offense to it. It’s not Luke, his twenty-seven-year-old fraternity brother friend speaking to him, talking down against him. It’s his best friend who is also a parent, who has been in his shoes, who knows how he’s feeling, and knows how lucky that he is. Luke is smart enough, and, in some ways, kind enough to let Juuse know that luck doesn’t happen to just anyone. It won’t happen to Juuse.

   Juuse anchors himself to reality and learns to live within it, and Luke realizes that he's stronger than he knows.

   Or, Luke and Juuse play in the 2030 Winter Olympics. Juuse fights back against grief, and Luke can't fight back against real love.
