We’re back in The Round having the snacks Season gave us this morning, delicious home-made white chocolate chip cookies that melt in the mouth. Le Temps takes out what looks like dried tree bark and starts eating it. I can see it’s difficult to chew. Maybe that’s where he gets his powers from. It’s when I look behind him that I see the tree. ANOTHER tree with the infinity sign. And another. I look back at Le Temps. He looks like his whole brain has gone into eating the tree bark. He doesn’t know about the infinity symbols. Or maybe he does and that’s why he’s sitting under one of them. I look at the signs again and frown. I can remember exactly where I was sitting last night and how the trees looked. There were DEFINITELY only three symbols last night. Now there are five!

The second half of the workshop, Le Temps kills a rabbit with a gun.

He doesn’t warn us, just pulls out his gun and BANG! I’m not happy he killed the rabbit. He explains that killing wildlife is not the same as cooping up animals in factories, fattening them up just to kill them. It’s OK if it’s organic. I can’t look at the dead rabbit unless I look the other way and squint my eyes. The blood doesn’t look red, it looks black. I don’t want to look and I do want to look. GMT shouts at Le Temps.

‘Murderer! You’re teaching kids it’s cool to—’

‘Bad things happen,’ he says. ‘I don’t shield children from bad things. I prepare them. Law of the Jungle.’

GMT walks out. I’m worried she’s going to get excluded, as she didn’t ask for time-out. Maybe you don’t have to ask for time-out in the future. I’m sad and angry at the same time about the rabbit. When I speak, my voice sounds croaky but I still manage to speak.

‘It’s not a jungle, it’s a country park.’

‘WAS,’ he says. ‘This is my land now.’

‘The rabbit didn’t deserve to die. It wasn’t attacking you.’

‘Hare, actually. Totally different species. Welcome to my Garden of Eden.’
