The world is all that which is the case
At dinner Robert and Viola’s uncle discuss the secret law. “I’m in favor of it,” Viola’s uncle says. “These are drastic times.”
“Is it about to come back up for a vote?” Robert asks.
“It’s unclear whether the secret law requires a vote or not, constitutionally. At least that’s what they’ve been saying. Though I figured you’d know more about that than me…”
“I don’t work in the secret law,” Robert says. “I do corporate litigation. Regular kind.”
“We bought all these baby toys,” Viola’s uncle tells Robert, later on that night. “We were pretty sure this time, you know? Like we had this feeling. She seemed to be doing so well. And then when we heard from Vivi that this one wasn’t going to make it either, we had to take all those toys and things back. They have this one toy you can get now—” Viola’s uncle gestures, trying to explain the toy. “I would’ve killed for something like that, when I was a kid,” he says.
