Chuka turned.
Their eyes met.
And James ran.
By morning, James had told no one.
Not even Eliora.
Instead, he called a private meeting with the elder woman Mama Nkechi. The fire on her breath never needed matches. She listened in silence. When James finished, she didn’t respond with shock.
She simply said: “Every remnant carries a Judas. The question is will you kiss him, or will you confront him?”
Later that day, as the remnant prepared for a prayer walk through the city, James stood beside Chuka, who pretended nothing had happened.
