Teron came with his wife.
Lysander did not go to the school that morning. Arsini had said: let them see it without you in the room. You change what happens when you are present.
She was right. He stayed at the supply office and worked through the coastal watch report and waited.
Arsini came to him at the fifth hour.
She said: "They are staying."
"Alexion comes back."
"Tomorrow. Teron's wife asked if she could come again next week and watch a different session. I said yes." She sat down. "She cried."
"During the session."
"At the end. When Deia finished. Teron's wife was at the back of the room and she watched Deia for an hour and at the end she was crying." Arsini set a tablet on the table. "She said to me: I thought they were taking the school from us. She is giving it back."
'She is giving it back,' Lysander thought.
