An Extra’s POV

Brute facts of nature are immutable aspects of existence that cannot be changed.

They exist as a reminder that there are things we can't control.

Things like death, suffering, inequality, pain—they are all examples of brute facts that remain inevitable till date.

It only made her more assured of her fate.
