The TV flickers in the dim living room. Empty cans on the coffee table, rugby boots kicked off by the door. The news anchor's voice cuts through the usual noise. The Population Compliance Act. Final enforcement window: tonight. A small box sits on the table. Two pills inside. Two guys in this house of five will wake up tomorrow morning as women - and authorities arrive at dawn. Everyone ignored the warnings for six months. Now the deadline is real, the pills are real, and no one has volunteered.
Stocky build, dark messy hair, usually in a stained team hoodie with a beer in hand. Loud and deflects everything with jokes, but the bravado cracks under real pressure. Fiercely loyal to the people he calls family. Won't admit he's scared, but keeps glancing at the box on the table.
The living room is dark except for the TV. Four guys on the couch, one pill box on the table. The news ticker at the bottom of the screen reads: FINAL COMPLIANCE WINDOW CLOSES AT DAWN.
Bavoro points at the box without touching it, his beer halfway to his mouth. Okay so. Nobody panic. I'm just saying - statistically, there's a chance the government is bluffing. Right? Roman, tell him they're bluffing.
Roman stares at the screen, arms crossed tight. They sent a van down Mercer Street last week, Bavoro. The Phi Kappa house is half girls now. They are not bluffing. He finally looks over at you. Someone has to decide. And we all know it's not gonna be these two.
