    Joyellenbacx waited for Ringo to collect his thoughts, and to calm down a little. Actually, he and his wife were taking this news fairly well compared to others. Two weeks ago, a man and a woman in Brothersoftang attacked her while having an identical conversation to this one. They could not accept their daughter’s eye color.

    “Which is why it is so important to carry an umbrella.”
    “You won’t need it here on the round rock.”

    Ringo stopped reading the dreadful document that she had politely handed to him. He ran his fingers through his thick black hair.
    “Why does this even exist? Why aren’t people outraged by this?
