𝗘𝗽𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗱𝗲 𝟮𝟰: 𝗦𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗵’𝘀 𝗚𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗵 — 𝗦𝗰𝗲𝗻𝗲 𝟭 | 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗺 𝗦𝗲𝘁𝘂𝗽

The classroom was thick with heat. Fans on the ceiling hung motionless, dust caked on their blades. Chalk dust drifted in slow spirals where sunlight cut through cracked windows. Desks were scratched with initials and Nsibidi symbols faint enough to pass as doodles.

Nene slid into her usual seat near the window. She rested the satchel against her ankle, thumb pressed firm on the worn spot of the strap. Four in. Two to hold. Six to let go. The glyph-mark under her shoulder warmed faint, steady but awake.

Sarah Chen stood at the front, tablet clutched like it might slip. Her eyes darted too often toward the windows, past the class, past even the fence outside. When she called names, her voice came clipped, almost hurried, as though she wanted the routine to finish before it broke.

Oge sat two rows ahead, pencil tapping on wood in a rhythm that cut into the silence. Students muttered, trading glances at Sarah’s stiff movements. No one dared say it, but everyone knew something was off.

The bell had only just faded when a patrol hover passed close. Its cone brushed the room through glass, making the posters on the far wall tremble. Sarah froze mid-word. The sound of the hover didn’t fade. It pressed harder.

𝗘𝗽𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗱𝗲 𝟮𝟯: 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁 𝗟𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗻: 𝗪𝗮𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 — 𝗦𝗰𝗲𝗻𝗲 𝟰: 𝗟𝗲𝗱𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗠𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻

When Nene reached the front, the guard measured oil into her tin without meeting her eyes. His boredom looked like authority, flat and practiced. The hover drifted higher, lens still locked on the barrel. She pressed her ration slip into his palm, received the stamped return, and stepped aside.

Behind her, the boy who had muttered too loud shoved forward. The guard snapped, “Back!” again, voice sharp as metal. The hover’s cone blinked red once before softening back to pale. The boy froze, then retreated, face tight. The line steadied by force, not by choice.

Nene tucked the bottle into her satchel, checked the cap, and let her breath out slow. The glyph-mark cooled, its heat stored quiet again. She glanced once at the peeling poster on the wall—WAIT YOUR TURN. The words felt less like guidance and more like a test disguised as a rule.

She walked the long way home, past the sugar stalls and the neem tree, each step even. Patience had carried her farther than push.

𝗘𝗽𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗱𝗲 𝟮𝟯: 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁 𝗟𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗻: 𝗪𝗮𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 — 𝗦𝗰𝗲𝗻𝗲 𝟯: 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗨𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻

The air thickened. Children whined, traders shouted closing prices, and smoke from frying plantain drifted into the queue. A boy behind Nene stamped his feet, restless, muttering, “Too slow, too slow.” The sound pressed like a drumbeat.

Nene’s satchel strap dug into her palm. She smoothed it once, grounding herself. Her breath count ran steady, though her ribs wanted to rush. Four in. Two to hold. Six to let go. The glyph-mark pressed harder, as if it would flare if she loosened her hold.

Two men near the front argued, voices sharp. One shoved the other’s shoulder. The guard finally raised his eyes, scrolled fast on his handheld, and barked, “Back!” The word cut the air short. Both men froze, then stepped away, grumbling. The hover cone narrowed, sweeping their bodies, then blinked green.

The line exhaled, tension easing slightly. Nene used the moment to steady her own chest. She let the count shrink small, shoulders low, palms flat. She told herself the wait was not wasted; the wait was the test.

The barrel gurgled again, the sound sharper this time. The guard muttered something into his handheld, eyes flicking toward the back of the line. People quieted, bracing for a cutoff.

𝗘𝗽𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗱𝗲 𝟮𝟯: 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁 𝗟𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗻: 𝗪𝗮𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 — 𝗦𝗰𝗲𝗻𝗲 𝟮: 𝗟𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲, 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹 𝗦𝗰𝗮𝗻

Halfway down the queue, the barrel gurgled, liquid running low. Murmurs rippled through the line like sparks on dry straw. “Half left.” “They’ll cut it again.” “Not enough for this row.” Voices sharpened, shoulders pressed closer.

The guard lifted a hand for quiet, not looking up from his screen. It worked for two breaths, then the mutters began again. A man at the front turned, waving his slip. “I was here since dawn,” he said, his voice too loud. The hover dipped lower, cone brightening.

Nene lowered her shoulders a finger’s width, letting her chest sink into the count. Four in. Two to hold. Six to let go. The glyph-mark warmed, tugging her arm, wanting her to push back against the press. She locked her hand tighter on the strap instead.

A woman dropped her slip. The paper skidded toward the gutter. Nene bent, pinned it with a fingertip, and handed it back without raising her eyes. The woman nodded once, whispering thanks too low for the guard to catch.

The hover’s cone swept over Nene’s head, paused, then slid on. The guard glanced up for the first time but said nothing. The line shifted one step forward.
