1: Njeri is taken back, surprised and hurt.
2: Jackson steps forward.
Jackson: I don’t think you believe that.
3: Okpara looks indignantly at Jackson.
Jackson: You’ve lived among us. You’ve befriended us, eaten our food, seen our struggles…
4: Jackson leans on the table and squints at Okpara.
Jackson: Look Njeri in the eyes and tell him that he is below you, that he’s nothing but a slave.
5: Okpara stares ahead.
6: Njeri stares back, worried.
7: Okpara looks down.

I like Rebecca’s style, in her CThulhu Mythos-style of stories.
In most Cthullhu mythos-style stories, the non-human monsters, like Cthulhu + Hastur, always win against the humans + human-type people.
In Rebecca’s stories, the non-monster people, sometimes win.
