Seit drei Monaten schrieb ich mit einem Typen namens „Rex“. Einem völlig Fremden, den ich ausschließlich online kennengelernt hatte. Wir steckten mittendrin – in dieser Verliebtheitsphase, in der mein Handy Nacht für Nacht vor Nachrichten explodierte, die meinen Puls in die Höhe schnellen ließen. „Ich vermisse dich, Süße.“ „Ich habe letzte Nacht wieder von dir geträumt. Du konntest nicht genug von mir bekommen und hast regelrecht darum gebettelt.“ Ich war kurz davor, vorzuschlagen, dass wir uns endlich auch im echten Leben treffen. Aber dann schickte er mir ein Bild – eine beiläufige Aufnahme seines Schreibtischs, und ich entdeckte etwas Vertrautes: das Wappen der Verbrecherfamilie Falcone. Und ausgerechnet ich arbeitete für ein Unternehmen, das den Falcones gehörte. Drei Monate lang hatte ich mit einem gefährlichen Mann heiße Nachrichten ausgetauscht – einem gemachten Mann der Mafia –, der sich womöglich direkt vor meiner Nase befand. Und genau als ich herausfinden wollte, wer er wirklich war, sah ich sie. Die maßgefertigten Manschettenknöpfe aus schwarzem Onyx, die ich für „Rex“ ausgesucht hatte … an den Handgelenken meines Chefs, Marco.

Right after I am done with a meeting, I scroll through social media and come across a warning post with my company's location tagged. The title reads, "Avoid this place! Anyone who comes here is a sucker. The company is so stingy that it can't even provide decent snacks." The photos show the Starbucks drinks and five-star desserts I just asked my assistant to distribute to everyone. I frown and tag everyone in the group chat, asking for suggestions about the teatime snacks. A Gen Z intern, Alice Grimes, immediately sends a voice message, "No offense, Ms. Knox, but these mass-produced desserts are full of trans fats. Even dogs wouldn't eat them. A good company would hire Kitchelin chefs to cook on-site. Now that's called having true respect for employees." I laugh in disbelief. My company spends 50 dollars per person on daily tea time, which is considered top-tier in the industry. So, I reply, "Since it's hard to please everyone, we'll cancel teatime from now on and convert it into a cash allowance for everyone." Less than five minutes later, there is a new update in the social media post. "Guys, you won't believe this. I made a reasonable suggestion, and the petty boss just cut our teatime perk! This is how a typical capitalist behaves. They can't handle any honest feedback."

Quando voltei para a família Costello como a filha há muito tempo perdida, eu estava vestida com as roupas usadas da minha irmã adotiva, e o motorista da família veio apenas para ela. Ainda assim, eles se sentiam culpados em relação à filha que criaram na minha ausência. Então, quando o governo lançou o Sistema de Justiça, eles registraram a família inteira antes que eu pudesse piscar. Meu pai suspirou aliviado. — Com esse sistema impondo igualdade absoluta, Brittany nunca mais terá que sofrer. Minha mãe segurou minha mão, sua voz não deixando espaço para discussões. — Você voltou para casa e roubou tudo o que pertencia a ela. Isso não é justo com a Brittany. Meu irmão não se deu ao trabalho de esconder seu desprezo. — Eu só reconheço uma irmã. Você já conseguiu mais do que merece. Não abuse da sorte. Eu comia as sobras enquanto ela tinha chefs particulares. Eu suava em um closet enquanto ela dormia em uma suíte projetada sob medida. Eu quase ri. Quando o sistema entrou em vigor, foram eles que desmoronaram.

Quand je suis revenue chez les Costello, moi, la fille disparue depuis des années, je portais les vieux vêtements de ma sœur adoptive, et le chauffeur de la famille ne venait que pour elle. Malgré tout, ils se sentaient coupables envers la fille qu'ils avaient élevée pendant mon absence. Alors, quand le gouvernement a lancé le Système Juste, ils ont inscrit toute la famille avant même que j'aie le temps de réagir. Mon père a poussé un soupir de soulagement. « Avec ce système qui impose une égalité absolue, Brittany n'aura plus jamais à souffrir. » Ma mère a pris ma main, sans me laisser la moindre possibilité de protester. « Tu es revenue et tu lui as repris tout ce qui lui appartenait. Ce n'est pas juste pour Brittany. » Mon frère n'a même pas essayé de cacher son mépris. « Je n'ai qu'une seule sœur. Tu as déjà obtenu bien plus que ce que tu mérites. Ne pousse pas trop loin. » Je mangeais des restes pendant qu'elle avait des chefs privés. Je transpirais dans un placard pendant qu'elle dormait dans une suite conçue exprès pour elle et ses besoins. J'en riais presque. Quand le système a été mis en place, c'est eux qui se sont effondrés.
