Don't make eye contact, don't even dare to raise your head to see if they're looking at you.

You know they're looking at you.
Judging you.

Every Wednesday and Sunday we would get a break from working our ten-hour shifts, at work.I guess this would be considered our relief where we unwind, and "celebrate" with one another.
Those two days we did the same thing, listen to, a speech from-
"Good Morning. Please lower your voices, and get settled!" Mujer Diablo spoke.
