Nelly flinches when she passes the city walls. Takes a grip on herself when she notices the guards. They haven't spotted her yet. And if she keeps her distance. If she keeps her thoughts and feelings down. They never will...
"Hey you!"
The cold voice comes from behind her and she tenses. Scared. Sees the other people next to her with the same expression on their faces.
She looks behind her, sees others do the same. Relieve when it's not her they are calling. Pity when they arrest the young man. He probably has done nothing wrong.

"Rafael!"
He looks around when he hears his brother's voice.
"They arrested someone again. We... We can't wait much longer. We need to fight. Stand up against him. We..."
Alex' eyes widen when he sees Rafael shake his head.
"Don't tell me you're out..."
The desperation in his voice is obvious.
"I'm not out. We're just not strong enough yet. We cannot win..."
Angry Alex walks away. Kicking the garbage bin out of his way.

Timmy looks up in surprise when he feels arm around his shoulders.
"Hey sis."
The cheerfulness disappears when her tears fall on his skin.
"Nelly?"
He feels how she shakes her head. It worries him more than he already was.
Carefully he turns around. Holding her. Comfort...
"Another innocent arrested. When will this stop Timmy? When will we finally live without the fear of randomly being picked out of the crowd? When will..."
He keeps her at arm's length. His fingers against her lips stop her from talking. Fear in his eyes. Fear for his sister. What if someone heard?

-

Rafael holds her when they hear the news. The young man - a boy still, barely 16 years old - killed. Charged for treason.
"Something has to be done Rafael. This cannot go on like this. Someone has to..."
She falls silent when she sees the look in his eyes.
"There are only a few who could - no, who might - succeed. But we are still outnumbered. And leaderless.
The look he shoots her, tells her everything he cannot voice. They talked about it before. He knows she'll refuse again...
