You live near a PCR test station. Everyone lives near a PCR test station: the government built a fuck ton of them everywhere. The queue is extremely long, the weather doesn't look nice, and you didn't bring an umbrella. You start to worry if there would be rain.

Within the WeChat groups you've joined people are spreading rumors and clips. Clips of people jumping off building (to kill themselves), clips of people fighting against (and being beaten on the ground at the end) polices and security guards, et cetera, et cetera... things were never this bad back in 2020 and 2021. You had a faint feeling that this is not about the big C per se - there's something - someone - behind all this.

Say, it sure is a long queue. You've been waiting for how long, two hours? Three hours? Maybe four? But you have to do this, or else...

Wait for your turn
