We arrived at the tests. Each district had its own entrance. In Abnormal, everyone was cutting in line when nobody was looking. Though we had arrived hours earlier, within minutes we were last.

Daunting ran into their doors the instant it opened, and being too cool for the elevator, they took the stairs. The building was over 50 stories, so I hope that worked out for them.
Despite relentless cutting, Cube went in, then myself. I sat down in what looked like a dentist's chair.
"Hi. My name is Stori and I'll be testing you today."
"Why does this look like a dentist chair?"
"It is." She turned around with dentist equipment and went in.

"Wait, WHAT? Can you tell me more about Reversent?"
"Nah. Now be sure to grab a packet of floss on your way out! Healthy gums, healthy life!"
