Nicholas Boothman
He thought about the people who'd died because of comfortable lies. He thought about his sister, wondering if she still lived in the same place.
Somewhere in the space between those thoughts, an idea began to form. It was dangerous. It was probably impossible. But it was the only thing that made sense.
What if there was a way to make lying impossible? What if you could build a system that forced people to tell the truth, not through punishment, but through simple, unavoidable exposure?
What if you could tear down the Wall of Waffle and force everyone to see what was really there?
He stood up. He had work to do. And a sister to face. And a truth to tell about why he'd really stayed away for two years.
The revolution would have to wait one more day.
