Nelly Cheboi, who creates computer labs for Kenyan schoolchildren, is CNN's Hero of the Year

CNN — Nelly Cheboi, who in 2019 quit a lucrative software engineering job in Chicago to create computer labs for Kenyan schoolchildren, is the 2022 CNN Hero of the Year. Online voters selected her from among this year’s Top 10 CNN Heroes. Cheboi’s nonprofit, TechLit Africa, has provided thousands of students across rural Kenya with access to donated, upcycled computers — and the chance at a brighter future. Cheboi accepted the award with her mother, who she said “worked really hard to educate us.” At the beginning of her acceptance speech, Cheboi and her mother sang a song onstage that she explained had a special meaning when she was growing up. As CNN Hero of the Year, Cheboi will receive $100,000 to expand her work. She and the other top 10 CNN Heroes honored at Sunday’s gala all receive a $10,000 cash award and, for the first time, additional grants, organizational training and support from The Elevate Prize Foundation through a new collaboration with CNN Heroes. Nelly will also be named an Elevate Prize winner, which comes with a $300,000 grant and additional support worth $200,000 for her nonprofit. Cheboi grew up in poverty in Mogotio, a rural township in Kenya. “I know the pain of poverty,” said Cheboi, 29. “I never forgot what it was like with my stomach churning because of hunger at night.” A hard-working student, Cheboi received a full scholarship to Augustana College in Illinois in 2012. She began her studies there with almost no experience with computers, handwriting papers and struggling to transcribe them onto a laptop. Everything changed in her junior year, though, when Cheboi took a programming course required for her mathematics major. “When I discovered computer science, I just fell in love with it. I knew that this is something that I wanted to do as my career, and also bring it to my community,” she told CNN. Many basic computer skills were still a steep learning curve, however. Cheboi remembers having to practice touch-typing for six months before she could pass a coding interview. Touch-typing is a skill that is now a core part of the TechLit curriculum. “I feel so accomplished seeing kids that are 7 years old touch-typing, knowing that I just learned how to touch-type less than five years ago,” she said. Once she had begun working in the software industry, Cheboi soon realized the extent of which computers were being thrown away as companies upgraded their technology infrastructure. “We have kids here (in Kenya) — myself included, back in the day — who don’t even know what a computer is,” she said. So, in 2018, she began transporting donated computers back to Kenya — in her personal luggage, handling customs fees and taxes herself. “At one point, I was bringing 44 computers, and I paid more for the luggage than I did for the air ticket,” she said. A year later, she co-founded TechLit Africa with a fellow software engineer after both quit their jobs. The nonprofit accepts computer donations from companies, universities and individuals. The hardware is wiped and refurbished before it’s shipped to Kenya. There, it’s distributed to partner schools in rural communities, where students ages 4 to 12 receive daily classes and frequent opportunities to learn from professionals, gaining skills that will help improve their education and better prepare them for future jobs. “We have people who own a specific skill coming in and are just inspiring the kids (with) music production, video production, coding, personal branding,” Cheboi said. “They can go from doing a remote class with NASA on education to music production.” The organization currently serves 10 schools; within the next year, Cheboi hopes to be partnered with 100 more. “My hope is that when the first TechLit kids graduate high school, they’re able to get a job online because they will know how to code, they will know how to do graphic design, they will know how to do marketing,” Cheboi said. “The world is your oyster when you are educated. By bringing the resources, by bringing these skills, we are opening up the world to them.” Read the full article

What twelve nations/regions are doing to get students safely back to schools in times of COVID-19

To open or not to open? Schools around the world have tried to make exactly this decision amid pressures from parents, school authorities and health authorities during the coronavirus lockdown.

There are so many variables involved: The wellbeing of students and teachers, the education and social needs of school-going children, the freedom and sanity of working parents to attend to their jobs without needing to worry about their kids being around, and more.

Given the difficulty of the situation around the world, various countries are in different stages of planning and reopening schools. These decisions have been made by national or state governments along with local and school authorities.

More than a billion students are still out of school due to nationwide school closures, a 24 August UNICEF report said. "We are slowly seeing an increasing number of children return to the classroom."

Of the 134 countries that have shut down schools, 59 of them (around 44 percent) have already reopened schools or plan to very soon, and 105 (roughly 80 percent) have decided on a reopening date as of 24 August 2020. In some countries, the added complication of active COVID-19 community transmission complicates things – in India and the US, for example.

Here's a look at what various countries are doing to get kids back in school safely.

Southeast Asia

In India, Nepal and Bangladesh, schools remain shut, with some schools (mostly private schools) taking classes online.

As per the Indian government's Unlock 4 guidelines, students of Classes 9 to 12 can visit schools on a voluntary basis starting 21 September to consult teachers and get guidance on their courses. As schools partially reopen on 21 September, only half the teaching and non-teaching staff have been called to schools at a time. School for students in all other classes will remain closed till 30 September.

In Sri Lanka, the government has allowed schools with no reported cases of COVID-19 to reopen partially, for grades that are writing national examinations this year.

South Korea

In South Korea (more so than in India), the emphasis on academics is widely-known, with most kids commonly looking at 12-hour school days. The country deferred opening schools five times over a two-month period, as per a TIME magazine report.

A phased reboot was rolled out, starting with high-school seniors on 20 May. As per the plan, middle-school and elementary school kids were also to return to schools starting 3 June. But just days after reopening, cases of COVID-19 among students in Seoul prompted hundreds of schools to close again, or delay reopening by a few more weeks.

At schools that are open, temperature checks are required at entrances and students required to wear masks, socially distance and frequently wash their hands. Some schools have instructed students to come in on alternate days. Others have adopted a hybrid face-to-face and online approach to taking lessons.

Denmark

After a month in lockdown, Denmark became the first Western country to reopen its schools on 15 April. Kids between the ages of two and 12 years returning to school were sectioned off into "micro groups" of 12 (aka "protective bubbles"). Each group came to school at a different time slot, ate lunch separately and have designated zones in the playground. Students had to wash their hands every two hours, but face masks were not made mandatory. Classrooms were rearranged so that desks were placed two meters apart, and all the study material was sanitized twice a day. Classes were also held outside whenever possible, and for a change, parents were not allowed on school property.

These measures seem to have worked well, and no cases of transmission in schools have been reported by authorities. This can also be attributed to the fact that before Denmark opened schools, the country had a relatively low number of COVID-19 cases and deaths – they took early and decisive action in imposing lockdown measures efficiently.

After a five-week-long investigation in May, experts proceeded with caution and implemented similar precautions in middle and primary schools. As of 10 August, primary school children and teachers have also begun their new school year.

Japan

After a summer vacation that was cut short to make up for missed classes during the early months of the pandemic, some schools in Japan reopened.

Parents are expected to check their child's temperature every morning and enter the results in a health report that teachers check once they reach class, according to a Washington Post report. At one of the schools, these temperature checks are one in a 28-point plan to minimise risk of COVID-19 transmission in schools.

Children in Japan are attending school on alternate days, so that half the desks in classrooms are left empty to make distancing easier. All students and teachers are required to wears masks, except during lunch time, when students eat at their desks, facing forward, and in silence, the report adds.

Sweden

Sweden’s COVID-19 strategy is among the most controversial in the world. It decided to leave much of society open, including primary schools. This is likely what contributed to five times as many people in Sweden dying of the coronavirus as that in Denmark, Norway and Finland combined. Some 95 percent of fatal cases were patients over the age of 60. In May, a Science report citing a scan of incidents in Swedish newspapers clearly shows that school outbreaks did occur.

Swedish health authorities say they have managed to stabilise the spread of COVID-19, with citizens taking quarantine and social distancing measures seriously. However, June-July was around the time many schools and officers closed for summer vacation. Swedish law says children under the age of 12 can't be home alone without supervision. This means that the fate of kindergarten and middle school kids largely rests in the hands of the country's workforce. It is yet to be seen how the country will strategise its post-summer reopening of society and schools.

"It will be very difficult to achieve any kind of really clear-cut answer as to what was right and what was wrong," Sweden's top epidemiologist Anders Tegnell told the Observer. "We’re talking years into the future before we can get any kind of consensus on how to deal with this in the best possible way."

Spain

So far, the Spanish government has left the choice to parents and students to attend schools on a voluntary basis. However, by September, it has planned for all students to return to school, with guidelines adapted to suit the situation in each of Spain's 17 independent regions. Spanish officials are adapting their plans before schools reopen starting 4 September. Some 11,000 additional teachers are being hired to monitor younger students, makeshift classrooms are being staged in schoolyards and "bubbles" of 15 to 20 students are being made that can mix with each other but not with other bubbles or outsiders.

Students have been told to keep a distance of 1.5 metres or more between themselves. Younger children, on the other hand, will be divided into bubbles that won't have to distance themselves. Masks have not been made compulsory for younger children in these bubbles.

Masks will be compulsory for older students and teachers if distance of 1.5 m cannot be maintained, as well as students over the age of six who take the school bus.

Schools in Spain have been asked to prioritise outdoor activities, and to stagger start, finish and break times for all classes. Facilities also need to be cleaned at least once a day, and toilets cleaned thrice daily.

Belgium

Schools in Belgium plan to reopen with the start of the new academic year on 1 September. This comes after members of the country's COVID-19 paediatric task force said a normal return to school should be government’s "number one priority."

As schools reopen, teachers and students above age 12 are required to wear masks. Along with basic hygiene measures such as frequent hand-washing and appropriate room ventilation, the country has also implemented a colour-coded scheme for how schools with operate under different scenarios – based on the seriousness of the COVID-19 situation in Belgium. In all four scenarios, primary and elementary school will carry on throughout the country.

"In all case scenarios, kindergartens and primary schools will always remain open," Caroline Désir, education minister for Francophone schools in Belgium, told The Brussels Times. "We will not close them down regardless of how the epidemic evolves."

As of 1 September, the plan recommends that students go to school four days a week, with distance-learning one day a week.

Africa

Among African countries, six countries have reopened schools. Students in South Africa returned to classrooms one class after another class, after an early reopening resulted in new infections and schools were closed as a result. For any parents that don't want their children to attend school, the government has advised applying for home-schooling.

Kenya has closed its schools for the rest of 2020. Meanwhile, the Ugandan government plans to procure radios for villages to help poor families with remote learning.

France

Despite a sharp and recent spike in cases in France, the nation is sending millions of students back to school. This is to ensure that academic inequality among children doesn't widen due to the lockdown, and parents can return to their jobs, the government said.

Teachers, and students in middle- and high school are required to wear masks while moving between classes, and in and out of school. Teachers and schools authorities have been instructed to limit gatherings and only allow one-way movement in corridors. Cafeterias will also reopen to help children relying on subsidised hot meals for their nutrition, as per a report in the The Local.

Classrooms and school premises should be aired "as often as possible and for a duration of at least 15 minutes each time", the report added. Frequent contact-points like door-knobs are to be regularly cleaned, dining hall tables after each meal, and large surfaces to be cleaned "at least once a day."

In addition, some Parisian schools are giving out free laptops for children, in case schools need to close against during the lockdown.

Italy

Some of the strictest lockdown measures in all of Europe were implemented in Italy, which saw schools shut down by March 2020. While lockdown measures began to slowly ease in May, schools still haven't reopening for teaching. The government intends for face-to-face teaching in schools to resume by 14 September, as per a BBC report.

Students are required to sit at least 1 m apart, and class sizes will be made smaller to accommodate the new guideline. Each class will be divided into subgroups, and classes will be staggered to avoid gatherings. All students and teachers are required to wear masks, and teachers are required to also wear a face shield, the report added.

Classes will be held outdoors as much as possible, if not in large spaces like theatres or museums. Lessons will also be spread over six days of the week, including Saturdays to include staggered class schedules.

Canada

The Canadian province of Quebec reopened several of its elementary schools in May, with strict distancing. It announced plans that children will be allowed to socialise freely in groups of six – with each group staying a metre away from other groups of students and 2 metres away from teachers.

At least 53 students and teachers tested positive after many schools reopened in May, according to news reports, but officials believed many of those infections were contracted in the community. Classmates and teachers of an infected student were sent home for 14 days, while the rest of the school was sanitised, and classes carried on.

Netherlands

Primary and secondary schools in the Netherlands are resuming with regular school/teaching hours for students of all grades. The government has specified that students will be exempt from attending school if they, or somebody they live with, is a high-risk candidate for COVID-19 (i.e. people with co-morbid health conditions, or contact with a COVID-19-positive indivdual).

Mainstays for COVID-19 prevention, like masks, have not been made compulsory in all schools, though 20 percent of schools have reportedly instructed their pupils to wear them anyway, NOS reported.

Schools have been instructed to ensure classrooms and corridors have high-functioning ventilation systems to limit the spread of airborne coronavirus indoors.

The forgotten: part 2

Part 1

I fell asleep that night, plagued by nightmares worse than even those that I had experienced before. I wanted to cry. Instead, I glanced at the glowing red numbers on my clock. It read as 1 in the morning. Max would be home by now, as he would have gotten off his shift 3 hours ago.

I ran across the hallway, making sure that my steps were quiet as could be. When I arrived at Max’s door I all but flung it open and crawled into his bed.He opened his eye to glance at me, but when he saw the unshed tears in my eyes, he opened his arms to let me in closer.

The nightmare had featured the two of us separated, no way to get back to where we were. It ended with Max dying in front of my eyes. This nightmare had been one of many similar, every time it started again, a new piece was added.

Every time I saw it, it tore me apart inside a little more.

“Kal, it’s okay, I am here, nothing bad will happen to you. I promise. Now sleep, I can practically hear you tearing yourself apart.” Max spoke, words calming, like a breeze blowing the thoughts away. I fell asleep seconds after that.

-------

The sound of an alarm going off woke me up, loud and blaring. Max let out a groan, unimpressed by the timing of the clock. We both got up and stretched before he ushered me back to my room to get ready for the day.

I ran through the shower and began cooking breakfast as soon as I had finished getting dressed and making my bag up for school. Max gathered food for our lunches, and soon enough we were out the door with our pancakes and syrup in containers ready to go. We ran out the door and ran to the car. The drive to the school took us 15 minutes, eating our breakfast in the car took us 10.

Max had another practice this morning, as there was the final game of Max’s career tomorrow night. They would be running over strategies and plays to make on the fly to prepare them. This was the last practice before the game, so Mrs. Marlin wanted to hammer it “into their thick skulls while she still could”. I agreed, if in a less violent way.

Max ran off to catch up with his team, and I walked off to the library.

It was my favourite room in the school, there were about 20 different study tables placed within the place, with large bookshelves to separate them. On 1/4 of the room, there had to be over 40,000 books. I ran to my favourite section of the library; the law section. It wasn’t the books that kept me there, but the semi-hidden table that only Max, the librarians, the janitors and I knew about. No one wanted to be here willingly, because of how dry the books were. Only one or two people needed a book for an essay, and even then they ignored it and looked it up online. The room itself was a beautiful brown with large windows to let in natural light and chandeliers hanging from the roof. The desks were made of faux mahogany and the chairs in our corner were cushioned beyond belief.

The library was large and beautiful, and yet.....

Ther was one part of the Library that I avoided like the plague. The rest of the geeky/nerdy people who loved books, they all stuck near the science section. I love science, but even they were bullies to me. Max protected me, but he wasn’t in the AP classes like I am. So he can’t scare them off, and I have never felt more afraid. Because those were the kids who could make bombs out of acid and bases or place just a little methanol in the fuel tank of our car to make napalm out of the gas.

I could take the jocks obvious abuse, but then those that knew science, we were as good as dead if that's what they wanted us to be. I preferred to allow people to forget me. Max and I had 12 days to get everything together, to be forgotten by everyone around us. We graduate in 10 days, but we are just picking up our diplomas and leaving.

“Hey beautiful, you wouldn’t happen to know your way around here, would you? I am looking for my cousin, but I got lost.” A boy who looked to be about 18 asked me. With dark brown curly hair and so-dark-they-are-almost-black eyes, he was a specimen that surprised me. His eyes were hidden behind glasses that accentuated his appearance. His skin was a beautiful rich brown, like dark chocolate. He seemed mysterious until you looked at his eyes, which conveyed his emotions like an open book.

“Are you talking to me?”

“No, I was talking to the wall. Do you know the way to the football field?”

“In fact I do, give me a minute, I have to gather my stuff before I can take you. I don’t know how long you will take after all. Better to be safe than sorry, right?”

“Of course, princess.” His lips curled upwards in a smirk, it was cute and suited his face perfectly. However, not even Max is allowed to call me that so I glared at him, the mysterious stranger who had told me nothing. The cute stranger my treacherous brain told me. I mentally flipped that part of my brain off.

“Call me that again and you won’t be going anywhere.” He smirked again, and just as I started to walk away he spoke once more.

“Of course, my apologies.....Princess.”

He ducked very quickly when he saw my foot coming for his head. His smirk fell from his face before he granted me an apology; one that he meant this time. We walked in general silence before we arrived at the halfway point to the field where he spoke up again.

“My name is Riso, by the way. It occurred to me that I was teasing you without you knowing who I was. Riso Kevane.” He shot me what must have been a winning smirk to other girls. I ignored it to the best of my ability and kept walking.

“My name is Kaliana Verand, call me Kal.” He got no words out of me afterwards, despite his efforts to see how long it would take to get me talking. I was trying to see how long it would take him to give up. He kept giving me useful information.

Like how his family is very military based, how he has only met his cousin twice, and how his family immigrated from Kenya 14 generations ago. Useful information, but none that really helped me figure out why he was here. He was suspiciously tight-lipped about that.

“Kal, I think that you are hiding something.” I raised an eyebrow. We had known each other for 5 minutes tops and he is already accusing me of something.

“And what would that be, oh glorious one?” His smirk that now appeared to be ever present grew a little with my response.

“You are mysterious and brainy. There is no way you aren’t working as a hacker or something.” My brain stalled for a minute before I burst out laughing.

“Me?! A hacker...” I had to stop to breathe for a moment, “As if. I barely know how to code. No way that I would be one.” His eyes flashed with something that left too quickly for me to identify.

“You could be. I’m not supposed to tell, but my uncle is one. He is one of the best. He acts like you do, and can type faster than anyone I know. It's not that hard to doubt.” He spoke with conviction as we turned the corner to walk onto the field.

“I do. Also, this is your stop. Thank you for travelling with Verand tours.” His lips quirked as if he is going to shoot me a smile before he thinks better of it.

“You won’t come with me? Come on Kal, you know you wanna.”

“I have known you for a short amount of time, but the two of us know that that was a dirty lie.”

“Well, I won't go unless you do.”

“Fine... if only to get away from you and your ugly mug.” Liar my brain calls out to me. I dutifully ignore it.

We walk towards the team when he yells the last name I would have thought he would have been related to.

“Jackson, I need to talk!”

Of all the people it could have been, why Jackson? Why did cute Riso have to be related to the human trash bag? As Jackson came waltzing over, I mourned for my sanity.

“Hey beautiful, come here to see me?” Jackson was looking at me, then he winced. I couldn’t see Riso’s face, but whatever was going on scared some sense into Jackson. However, I don’t need anyone to stand up for me like that, I can do well enough on my own.

“I didn’t know trash could talk. What a surprise.” Jackson just shot me a sleazy smirk. “Great, now I have to go have yet another shower. That was the most disgusting thing I have seen. Thanks.”

Riso let out a bark of laughter. The first that I had heard from him. His laugh felt like Summer and campfires and home all rolled into one.

“Jackson, haven’t you learned yet that you shouldn’t pick fights with people that make an effort to fight back?” Jackson winced a bit before Riso continued on. “I am here on family business. You need to head off to the warehouse on 6th, our uncle will pick you up from there.”

Jackson quickly looked at me in alarm, as if I shouldn’t have heard that. It sounded like something I shouldn’t have heard. Riso glanced at me before he shook his head at Jackson, whose face morphed into pure shock.

“You mean that ...” Jackson’s words ended before they started, leaving me in confusion.

“It was an order.” Riso turned to look at me before he began speaking again. “You have a brother, don’t you? What’s his name?”

Suspicion seemed to be the emotion of the day, and suddenly I didn’t want to answer.

“What’s it to you. What are you talking about? Who told you that?”

Riso sent a sharp look at Jackson, who cowered away like he used to when the bullies approached him before we got to high school. He came back a different person. So just who was Riso to manage to make him revert back to the victim?

“Listen Kal, we don’t have a ton of time to explain, however, Rai-” at the mention of my sister, I cut him off mercilessly.

“How do you know Rai... who are you people. What do you want with us?” Riso looked panicked when I began to freak out. Jackson then did something unimaginable.

He acted like he used to. My best friend. He grabbed my arms and looked me in the eyes, speaking to me slowly. He calmed me down the way he used to, faster than anyone other than Max could.

“Her brother is Max. I will make sure that they arrive at the spot, just make sure uncle will wait for a bit.” Jackson spoke for me, as tears still travelled down my face and my voice was still gone from me.

Jackson and I watched as Riso left. A minute after, I looked at him questionably, still being unable to voice my concerns.

Running a hand through his hair, Jackson spoke yet again, “Kal, there is a lot to explain and little time to do it. Call in sick for your jobs, and meet me at the deli on 20th. Don’t let anyone notice you. I need you to be there at 5:00. Can you do that for me?” I nodded mutely and he sighed in relief.

“Just don’t let anyone know that anything has changed. Kal, promise me... promise me that you will make it there.” I crossed my fingers and nodded, a sign that I was still mute, but I promised him anyways.

He nodded and shot me a kind smile before he ran off to continue the practice.

I sat alone under the benches wondering just what the hell happened.

-----

Max looked at me weird when I suggested we go to the deli at 5. I am terrible at lying and told him that I was going to try a new recipe. He caught on, but it was nothing major. We got there at 4:57, to see that Jackson was sitting on the bench outside.

“Kal, Max; glad you could make it.” Seeing the confusion in Max’s eyes, Jackson shot a quick glare at me before groaning. “You told him nothing did you?”

“I told him about as much as you told me,” Jackson swore for a moment before explaining to Max that we would be meeting with his uncle.

When we arrived at the warehouse, a van pulled up, and we all got inside. The car drove for 20 minutes before we arrived on the outskirts of the city, where a large metal grate remained. It was used to keep people out of the water drainage area, but by the looks of things, we would be going in.

Riso’s uncle opened the area up, shooed us in, before locking it and driving away.

“Jackson, why the hell are we here? I want answers.” Max snarled at Jackson with the ferocity of a tiger. He never got angry, so this was just a cover-up for his real issue.

He was afraid.

“Listen, you don’t trust me, I get it, but please... My uncle wants to talk to the two of you. God forbid I know the reason why. I tried to approach the two of you about this years ago, but neither of you took my offer. So he sent Riso in to force the two of you here. Just... things are always more than they appear, okay?” Jackson glanced around nervously. If my brother was a lion, then he was a mouse. His eyes betrayed nothing, but his voice shook like a leaf.

“Where is your uncle? I could have sworn you said we were going to him.” My voice was soft, as I tried to sooth Max while finding an answer for myself.

Instead of answering, Jackson walked over to the grate and slipped a card that he grabbed from his coat in a small sliver between the wall and a bar.

The grate rose, and so did the backdrop. He ushered us in and typed numbers into a keypad. 3-6-7-4-6-8-8-3-6, it spelled something that I didn’t understand, I didn’t have my phone on me to translate it for me, but it meant something. I knew it.

The grate went back to the ground with a clang. Without giving me a moment to think, Jackson waved his hand at something I couldn’t see and Riso emerged from the shadows only to grab my arm and pull me behind him in a vice-like grip.

“Riso! Let me go, you don’t have to pull me you bastard!” Riso’s eyes lost the charming shine that inhibited them before. A serious look took over his eyes, as he shook his head.

“Catch up princess, if you don’t want to be pulled, then walk faster. You and Max put this off for years, we don’t have time to waste.” Max was struggling behind me as well, being dragged by two large men to our mystery destination.

I sped up my steps to match his, his grip not loosening but shifting minorly to be more comfortable. A room appeared to be at the end of the path, and with a cursory glance at Riso, I missed the look of fear in his eyes. That he was pulling me towards my death.

We walked through the arch only for Max and me to gasped as we look in wonder, at a city, a replica of the one above ground lay ahead of us. There were differences the longer I looked flaws on the surface that didn’t exist here. There were no real lights, but the earth itself was glowing as if it tried to match the amount of awe I felt. Riso must have noticed my fascination with the earth that glowed as he pulled me closer to whisper in my ear.

“If you stay down here, you will find out how we do it. Its a whole slew of chemicals, but they are so easy to work with. You could make the next of our advancements...” His eyes gleamed as he left me hanging. The look in his eyes was as unreadable as the rest of his face, it frustrated me, but it was another puzzle in this place for me to crack.

He pulled away from me and sped up, walking towards the largest building. It was the biggest flaw, our city never had any of that.

Guards watched the door and let us into a room that looked a lot like a coliseum. Riso let go of me as Max’s capturers dropped him. Two guards grabbed each of us and brought us down below. As we turned the corner, I saw regret in Riso’s eyes.
