Sim liked Alamala’s paintings. They were miniatures. And his signature always appeared at the bottom, with its curves, like an undulating landscape, a signature so harmonious that you could still read it back to front: Alamala.

One night, before a verdict had been reached on the trial, Nino Alamala was killed in his cell. There wasn’t really an inquiry into his death, on the pretext that you don’t run after the murderer of a murderer. One of his guards was vaguely suspected of having wanted to enact a speedier justice.

The story was sixteen years old, but the memory was intact. Sim knew that long before the arrival of a Mitch or a Blue, hatred was already growing like a grub, ready to leap out.

Watching Tiger head off, Sim Lolness realised that the killer of Nino Alamala had just been standing before him.

Tiger was satisfied. At nightfall, he would pay the Grass people a visit. Moon Boy wouldn’t be able to resist him for long.

There’s always a fun way to make a ten-year-old child talk.
