Gaia's Sad Life

I'm reading Fearless FBI now, and as you know, I always can't help but flip to the back of the book to see what's the ending like. Like, you know, so I can read on in peace knowing that the main character is safe, etc.-

So anyway, I turned to the back of #4: Naked Eye and SIGH. Gaia's tragic life. The team managed to nail Catherine and Socorro and returned to Quantico to investigate the Lollipop murder case. Gaia suspected that Will may be the murderer. Will Taylor. After what he'd gone through to save her, risking his career and his life.

And the most terrible thing is, Will got killed right in front of Gaia. Just like Jake. Gaia saw his blood spewing out. I know this is just a fictional book and all, but I still can't help but feel saddened. Why does this have to happen again? Why does Gaia have to go though betrayal (by her ex-roommate Catherine Sanders) again? Why can't she get close to someone without that person getting harmed or worse, killed? Is she destined to a life of isolation and loneliness, just because of her genetic anomaly? Jake had sacrificed himself to save Gaia. He was only 18 and had a bright future ahead of him. When Will was held at gunpoint at the Socorro's HQ, Gaia surrendered because she didn't want him to die in the process of being a hero, like Jake had. But apparently that wasn't enough. Will Taylor still died.

The story ends with Gaia calling Ed Fargo. I didn't read in detail. Will probably write more about this later. Think she may return to New York.

I just feel so sad for Gaia. I know she's a fictional character and all, but...I dunno. She's so alone. She watched her uncle kill her mom at the age of five, and her father left her (thinking that wiuld keep her safe) in foster care when she's 12. Since then she's faced more betrayal than I think a child can possibly take. When Gaia was 17, Mary got killed by Loki. Sam was abducted by Loki. Jake was killed by Chris Rodke. Three years later Will was murdered. How could a person live with all that?
