I knew this was where it was going to end. There was no avoiding it. I knew we were being watched, and the second any of us stepped out of line, we would be punished. The others wouldn't. At least not in such an obvious way. Which made sense. They were important, and there was only so far they could be pushed. Basically, in the grand scheme of things, I was not important. I was ... inconsequential.
I should probably start at the beginning.
