Niya starts her day with a little youthful vandalism.
Having been woken up at the crack of dawn by her dear mother, she feels good about this.
She's supposed to be watching her little brother, Tiuten, and escorting him to the market to pick up some Earth-tech. He's twelve and more than capable of going by himself. So she sends him on his way and instead finds herself with a bucket full of paint, a blank wall and a vision.
Her mother is going to be furious... she can hardly wait.
"Well, they're from Earth and sometimes even people that don't know anything are good sources of fresh perspectives."
"Uh..." Guli says looking helplessly at his mom. "That sounds safer than you going by yourself."
"You don't need to go to Earth. You can get everything you need right here."
"Can not. Everything they import isn't good enough. They don't know what I need. I don't know what I need. Earth has everything."
"How do you know there is such a difference?" He makes this sound like a honest question.
"No. That's the end of this conversation. Please clean yourself up for dinner."
