Dawn drills: two black eyes, loosening bandages

texture · 9 Nov YDAU, dawn

• When: 9 November YDAU, alfresco A.M. drills on the East Courts
• What: The day after the Eschaton, Todd is a troubling sight at dawn drills: two black eyes and his nose under horizontal bandages loosening and curling at the edges from sweat, glimpsed amid the debris field of the riot — glitter of broken monitor-glass still frozen along the fences behind Courts 6-9, Penn absent amid leg-rumors, Otis Lord rumored back from the ER with the monitor still over his head. Whether Todd is drilling or merely present the scene doesn't say; the tableau simply registers the physical cost, worn out in the open, one morning on.
