Ethan and Leo share a cab from the airport, with Ethan being dropped off first in Waverley and Leo continuing to Coogee. Ethan tells Leo that he attended his first funeral earlier that day—for a friend named Harvey who was the same age, about to turn thirty. Leo reacts with genuine horror and sympathy, stumbling over his words in a way that reminds Ethan of Harvey himself. Leo mentions he once had a friend but trails off, revealing they simply lost touch rather than that the friend died, which strikes Ethan as an odd comparison.

The two men discuss their predictions from the woman on the plane. Leo shares that he was told he'd die at forty-three from a workplace accident—this November. Ethan reveals his prediction: death at thirty from assault, with his thirtieth birthday in October. Ethan notes that he's conflict-avoidant, and his current arm sling is from a rock-climbing mishap, not a fight. Both express skepticism about psychics, with Leo quoting his father's line about psychics winning the lottery if they had real powers.

After a near-collision with another car prompts the taxi driver to slam his brakes and yell, the driver admits he's been eavesdropping. He shares a story about a clairvoyant who predicted his aunt would die on her sixtieth birthday—and she did, choking on a leftover party pie just before midnight. However, the same clairvoyant told his mother she'd live a long, happy life, and she's still alive and playing lawn bowls. Leo explains that they're hoping the woman on the plane doesn't have special powers, since several passengers received earlier deaths than expected. The taxi driver responds with an ominous observation: if her predictions start coming true, they'll know.
