No. [ She shakes her head as she pokes at her pancakes with her fork. ] Ronnie and I, we met at work. I'm a bioengineer, he was a structural engineer. The lead structural engineer for the particle accelerator our employer was building. The night the accelerator went active was a big deal, of course. I had to be there because I was the head of my department and part of the whole PR thing, but he... he was only there for me.

Except it can't be fixed and he's gotten one of our friends to seal him in there to protect the rest of us. So he was at ground zero when the whole thing exploded. It would have leveled most of the city, but he had redirected the blast to go up instead of out. Naturally, we didn't find a body because there's no way anyone would survive that.
