"78," they reply in unison. They seem a bit fuzzy on any upper limit to their foresight. 

Sadde agrees that it was 78 but now he wants to know more! What if he had changed his mind? What if he decides to, in exactly a year, send them a letter with another number?

"The thing you have to remember is that there's more than one future."

"As possibilities or what?"

"Yeah, and 78 happened to be the most likely number you were going to say."

"How do the possibilities work? Like if I throw a coin do you see both heads and tails?"

"A coin flip is a bit harder, but that's only theoretically a 50/50 chance. The great thing about our power is that we can try and make sure our favourite futures happen. Also, you're probably going to be a Miracle by the end of the month."

"Oooh can you see what powers I'm gonna get?"

"Nah, we like to leave people some surprises. Oh, and you're totally going to mer marry Michael and have a dozen grey babies."

They run off, laughing their heads off.

"—ew."

"Pretty sure the Miracle part was true!"

"I guess it was."

"It'll be so much fun! We'll be able to play properly."

"Destroying stuff?"

"Yes. Also, we won't have to worry about breaking you."

"Yes I like not being broken."

"And you won't do that aging thing."

"After I'm a grownup, right? I'll still become a grownup."

"How would me and my brothers be here if you wouldn't?"

"I dunno maybe second generation works differently?"

"Well, you can only become a Miracle before puberty, and our mum is one."

"But maybe it changes if you're born a Miracle instead," he shrugs. "I dunno, I was just wondering."

"What I mean is, how can there be second generation Miracles if the firsties can't grow up?"

"And what I mean is that maybe the firsties can but the secondies can't."

"Wait, what?"
