I start by asking a name. I remember every one.

No matter how much I scrub the third step, the stain won't lift. Today too, I asked the name first.

MuniraI'm the one who scrubs those steps, you know. Put down the whetstone once in a while and pick up a bucket.
SelimSorry. I'll carry it next time.
FaridaAll you'd need to do is tear out those steps, and instead everyone just keeps scrubbing them.
IskandarThe steps have done nothing wrong, my lady.

Left elsewhere

I don't read paper. I listen with my ears.

I measure it by how long I wait on the stairs. Lately that's grown longer.

I've asked a certain name twice myself.
