These coincidences, and many more, are what determine the destiny of the protagonist, and Juan Carlos Botero uses them to demonstrate that there are no inconsequential facts, since a detail, no matter how minimal it may seem, can radically change the course of events. and unleash a wave of unexpected events. Our fortune stops belonging to us when the dice are thrown and we become, for good or bad luck, whims of luck.
