displayed the newest item of victory spoils

announced that the matron trimmed her hair

recited the Oath of Solidarity

held a dagger to Esme's neck

Made Citra serve at the council banquet

yelled for Citra to put her face to the pavement

moved swiftly with a katana as if to glean Citra

placed Citra in a public holding pen for three hours

discredit her

cover his jealousy

fire her

show he liked her

hid

wrestled the scythe

held his hand

ran away

threw himself on the scythe's blade to make death his choice

hurled as many seat cushions as possible toward the scythes.

crawled into his overhead bin and ripped the scythe's headwrap

read a million=strong petition that proposed policing scythes

claiming scythe's rights to abstain based on prior knowledge

putting his blood on her ring by leaving a gash with her punch

shoving a collapsible knife into his lead-filled shirt pocket

placing herself into an extended state of zudh meditation

rights

marriage

passing of time

reproduction

leaving a recording of herself and Citra in a shack

blowing up the scythe's car and then her own car

telling her patrol that Citra took the roundapass

opening the last parachute to block the scythetrometer

wear the scythe's ring

prove themselves by taking a series of tests

kiss the scythe's ring

kiss the scythe's cheek

whittle a weapon to use on the last three

strike only from a vantage point above

use blades on twelve out of thirteen

chase the red bests through the woods
