Copying my comment from Reddit
Bus Driver: You know I wasn’t even supposed to be driving that day? I took that job to pay for my degree. Last month I finally paid off my tuition. I was all set to hand in my notice and I thought, why not stay a few extra weeks? Put aside something extra so I can treat myself. Take a little trip and celebrate. I deserve a little reward, right? Is this what I deserve?
Jade: I sold my company right before I got here. Finally achieved the one thing I worked my whole life for. To getting what we deserve. Mm.
- Main family was doing one last trip before the divorce.
- Boyd was about to retire.
- Liu family + dementia worsening
- Kristi about to get married
Common theme seems to be that they were all about to embark a new chapter in their lives (good or bad) but found themselves in the loop instead.
