John had noticed it at the village meeting. Unlike the smaller nuclear family groups he’d been used to from parties for company employees his father had thrown when he still lived at home, here, the family clusters were larger and centered around four, not two. He was constantly seeing the couples within them – two women holding hands, or the guys from a foursome with an arm around each others’ shoulders. Always trying in his head to work out the permutations and combinations, figure out who was morning and who was evening. Who was fucking whom. He shook his head. He didn’t even know what this morning and evening shit meant, but he was obsessed with it. Obsessed by what it would mean if his team were like the Ki’O. A sedoretu.
