We've been sitting at one of the long tables for a full twenty minutes. It's no surprise that ours has remained mostly empty, while all the other tables are downright packed with rebels chatting loudly and sipping their coffee. Though everyone present is doing their best to pretend that I'm simply not there, the air in the room is thick with disapproval and a touch of bloodlust. And of course, they certainly don't want to sit near me.
