* WritersCannotDoMath: Will's mom has to take a thirty minute bus trip. It usually costs an hour to ride. The bus driver tells her that the price is now two hours. She only has an hour and a half. She tells him "It's a two hour walk." He says "You'd better run." She does. A half hour later, Will is waiting at the bus stop, notices she's not on the bus, and runs for her. Assuming it's a two hour run, if he runs for a whole hour, and she runs for a hour and half, they should have met when she had about 15 minutes left.

**One also has to wonder who on earth would take that bus trip. It's a two hour walk, it costs two hours to ride the bus, plus you lose the half hour it takes to ride to your destination. I know the bus is probably more comfortable, but in a city as poor as that where no one has time to waste, you would think no one would even take the bus anymore, at least for any trip that's normally a two and a half hour walk or less.

* BrokenAesop: Will and Rachael make a point that no one should be immortal if even one person has to die. But they are both older than twenty-six, meaning a few people have died early for each of them. So no immortality if other people need to die, but it's okay so long as you only take one day at a time?
