This kind of stuff can get really crazy. Stories like this where perfect strangers never speak but one passes away... the other just sits wondering what happened.

Kinda like when you're driving for a long period and you stay with someone for mile after mile and they turn off.

Then you're faced with more miles alone and your buddy is gone.
