Carla melukai tangannya. Dia mencuci piring di rumah. Dia pergi ke klinik. Dia mendapat nomor: empat puluh tujuh.
Layar menunjukkan angka tiga puluh satu. Ruangannya penuh. Seorang pria membaca majalah. Seorang ayah menggendong bayi. Seorang remaja melihat ponselnya.
Angkanya berubah pelan: tiga puluh dua, tiga puluh tiga, tiga puluh enam. Angkanya tidak berurutan. Carla menunggu.
Setelah satu jam, layar menunjukkan angka empat puluh tujuh. Carla masuk. Dokter melihat tangannya. "Ini kecil," katanya. "Bersihkan dua kali sehari."
Carla pergi. Ruangannya hampir kosong. Remaja itu sudah pergi. Bayinya bangun.
That's the story.
