lemon shark —kuroo tetsurō

—summary: When you admit to quitting your high school club, Kuroo pauses, takes the decision in, and recalibrates his stance. He doesn't understand quitting like that but it's okay, you'll figure it out together. He'll always have your back, just as you'll always have his.

—cw: none

—wc: 1,9k

AO3 version

He finds you where always does when you’re not home and there are no other pressing responsibilities: the arcade.

“You’re going to develop carpal tunnel like that,” Kuroo says, peering at the backglass of the pinball machine over your shoulder. Half of it is an incomprehensible mess of a ruined city skyline with a tall figure standing at the forefront, a gun in his hand. It’s very pointedly not the backglass of a pinball machine. Or maybe the nigh-incomprehensible art there and on the sides is a feature, not a bug. The score on the display board on the bottom of the backglass keeps ticking up. He can hear the pinball in the machine dashing up and down, bang against the obstacles littered on the map, and the flippers at the bottom.

“No, I’m only moving my fingers.” You don’t look at him, stare at the pinball in the machine, press the buttons on the sides to make the flippers jump. The pinball bangs against one and is sent catapulting back into the playfield.

Kuroo steps around you and stops next to the machine — he knows better than to lean against it. His hands are buried in his denim jacket pockets. The pinball isn’t overly difficult to follow but he still gets thrown for a loop every now and then when it ricochets off one of the bumpers underneath the glass in an unexpected direction.

It’s really no surprise you’re this good at pinball. With the amount of time you spend in this place, he’d expect you to be able to clean out the shelves of cheaply-made toys and weird little useless gadgets with ease. Regular arcades are fun, he’ll admit it, but this one, American in style with its ticket system some hail as a scam (and claw machines with butterfinger claws that are definitely a scam to boot), he doesn’t see the appeal in this specific arcade.

Somehow, you do.

The pinball in the machine drops. The lights on the machine blink rapidly.

“What are you doing here, anyway? Don’t you have practice today?” You pat down your pants’ pockets for the points card and swipe it through the machine.

Kuroo raises his brows. “It’s 7:30.”

“What? No, it’s not.” The argument is immediately on your tongue because it isn’t 7:30 PM. That’s impossible.

He pulls one hand from his jacket pocket, presses the power button on the side of his phone, and turns the screen to face you. 7:36 PM.

“Oh.”

Kuroo glances at his phone screen, then slides the device back into his pocket. “How long have you been here?”

You shrug. “Like… 11.” You look away from him, opt to stare at the painted side panel of the pinball machine. It depicts one long white hot lightning strike with a blue aura. Yeah, there’s absolutely no way this frame was originally for this specific pinball game.

When you look up, he’s narrowed his eyes at you, lips tilted into a frown. It’s that look he gives a particularly difficult English homework task. Analyzing. Solution-oriented. “So, what, you skipped swim practice?” Because he knows how long those run. He knows when and where and how and who. It’s embedded into and around his own club schedule.

“I quit, actually. Yesterday.”

You raise your gaze to meet his, hold it, wait for his reaction.

Kuroo’s face spasms, fleeting expressions cycling so goddamned clearly until he pulls himself together, and puts up a nonchalant facade. His brow twitches and his expression morphs just slightly, finally settling on neutral. It’s almost eerie. He pulls his gaze from you, lets it drop to the pinball machine side panel as if he’s processing or looking for the right words to continue, then looks up at you again.

“Why?”

It’s a measured response. His voice is carefully neutral.

You tilt your head to the side, look over his shoulder at the distance, then tilt it to the other side, stare at the claw machine behind him. Your mind races, thoughts colliding and avoiding collision by near-misses, traveling parallel to each other, splitting at intersections. Possible outcomes on top of outcomes race with them, anything and everything from a prolonged lecture on the importance of perseverance, to disappointed resignation, to quiet acceptance. All of them horrible in their own way.

You settle on a half-truth with a shrug of your shoulders. “Got boring.” You don’t want to see his expression morph into the outcome of his choosing and turn away from him, scan the room for one more victim to acquire enough tickets for the top-shelf prize at the prize counter. “Quit while you’re ahead, or whatever they say.” A victim appears; a lone Street Fighter copycat game tucked right by said prize counter.

Kuroo falls into step with you. “That’s for risky stuff.”

“Like?”

“I don’t know, the stock market.”

“What do you know about the stock market, Romeo?”

You dare a glance at him from the corner of your eye but his expression remains carefully blank. It would be infuriating with anyone else. But Kuroo knows how to read people, how to play to their strengths, what to say and what not to say. You think you can read him well enough; he’s keeping his composure neutral to probe your thoughts and/or feelings on the subject so he's able to give the most effective response. It's almost clinical. The thought leaves a sour taste in your mouth.

He positions himself next to you but he doesn’t take up the player 2 slot on the arcade game. You don’t comment on it and hit play.

Your character dashes, jumps, kicks.

The opponent A.I. dodges, jumps, dies.

The game screen flashes GAME OVER in large blocky letters. You swipe the points card, cross your fingers, and saunter up to the prize counter.

You have an abundance of points, it turns out. The woman behind the desk grabs a hook on a stick and with the help of a step stool, pulls a yellow shark plush down from the high shelf. You point to a small raccoon plushie keychain to drain the rest of your acquired points.

Kuroo stares at the bright yellow shark plushie. Its eyes are embroidered hearts filled in with glittering thread. Its felt teeth are bent. “That’s the ugliest thing I’ve ever seen,” he lies. “It’s a horrifying monstrosity; you could get a better one from IKEA.”

“As per usual you have no taste.” You turn the large plush in your hands and tap the pad of your finger against the glittering eye. No residual glitter catches to your skin. “Well, since you hate this, you wouldn’t happen to want the raccoon, either, huh?”

“Never said that.” He holds his hand out, palm up and you place the small gray and brown raccoon into his waiting hand. He lifts it to eye level, stares back at its large vacant acrylic eyes.

“C’mon,” you jerk your head towards the exit, “you can continue gazing into each other’s eyes soulfully on the way home.”

The summer evening air is slowly cooling as the sun sets. Its orange rays glint off the skyscraper windows.

Rush hour draws to a close and the crowds on the train ease up. You manage to snag two seats near the front of the train as an old couple disembarks.

Your newest companion is sandwiched between your neck and the window, its face pressed flat against the glass. You angle your body slightly so its first dorsal fin is pressed against your throat, your knees pressed against Kuroo’s.

Kuroo spends the ride scrolling through social media. Every now and then he swaps apps, texts someone. You catch Kenma’s picture at the top of the messages. Another time you catch sight of the picture for the volleyball team’s group chat.

It’s hard to lean your head back against the cool window, the best you can do with the shark propped behind your head is turn your face towards Kuroo. It gives you the perfect angle to stare at his profile. He’s slightly slouched, shoulders lax. His posture straightens ever so slightly, jaw tensing, brow creasing. His fingers fly across the screen to type out a response in the group chat with you, him, Yaku, and Kai.

You let your eyes wander his face, the curve of his nose and his lips to —

To the thin scar running along the slope of his cheekbone.

“What?” he asks then, looking up from his phone. He locks and pockets it. You tap on your cheek where his scar is. “Does it bother you?” he asks.

“Sometimes.” Because it does. Sometimes.

“As far as first meetings go, it’s probably on the more interesting end of the scale.”

“You’re the one who yanked me from behind.” Because he did.

“Would you have preferred death by way of a moving vehicle?”

You roll your eyes playfully and look away as you always do when he brings that up. Sure, it’s the logical conclusion to you literally trying to run into oncoming traffic way back then; but that doesn’t mean he needs to say it out loud. He doesn’t. It’s the logical conclusion.

“Yeah, well, what a story to tell your grandkids in 60 years.”

You peel yourselves from the seats once your stop arrives and you tuck the shark under your arm. Kuroo keeps to the road side on the sidewalk. The crowds grow even more scarce as your street comes into view.

You pass Kenma’s house; the blinds aren’t drawn and you can faintly see the glow of the TV from Kenma’s room. The lights in Kuroo’s house are on. Some houses on the street are completely dark, others completely alight. There’s a window cracked open somewhere, broadcasting a football match.

You pause in front of your gate, almost at the end of the street, and make no move to cross the threshold.

“I got half the family sicced on me because they’re not fans of me quitting, y’know? Word travels fast.” You stare at the lit living room window obscured by a cream-colored blind. “Somehow they’d gotten it into their heads that I was going to go to the Olympics and now they’re…”

“Pissed?”

“That’s putting it lightly. Pissed and everything else under the Sun.” You purse your lips. “Probably gonna hear how I wasted my Olympic potential for the rest of eternity. I think they’re delusional for thinking I could ever make it that far.”

There’s a lull in the conversation. Birds swoop down from the sky, land on the power lines draped above your heads.

“You wanna stay over tonight?” Kuroo asks, jerking his head in the direction of his house. “Dad’s making pancakes first thing in the morning.”

You shake your head with a small smile. “Thanks, but I might as well get lecture number three million about how I can ‘still save my Olympic career’ over with. Good night.”

“Night.”

Kuroo lingers by the gate as you step through and take the short cobblestone path up to the house. He watches you pause at the door before you slot your keys in and throw it open. Still, he stands there as the door closes and stares at your bedroom window. It doesn’t take long before there’s movement, the blinds being rolled down and the lights turning on.

Only then does he take off towards his own house, clutching the raccoon keychain in his pocket.

Well, That's Another Way To Protect Your Friends!

(Pred!W.ayward V.agabond, Prey!A.imless R.enegade, + Prey!P.eregine M.edicant)

Tropes: G/T, multiprey (2 prey), unwilling vore, shrinking, implied endo

NSFW/KINK/18+ BLOGS DNI. GET OUT OF SFW VORE SPACES.

⭒☆━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━☆⭒

> Be W.ayward V.agabond.

You are currently sitting with your two acquaintances, A.imless R.enegade and P.eregine M.endicant, relishing in this human emotion called friendship. You’re all sipping on sugary brown liquid and snacking on food cans, having a grand ol’ time on the reddish terrain. You think you might just lay down for a moment, and-

Oh, what’s A.imless R.enegade warbling about?

> WV: Check on AR.

He seems to be pointing at a pointless dune. But as you narrow your beady little eyes at it, it’s not pointless at all. There’s a door among all the dirt, and it has opened to a dark path inside. You turn to your friends, who both blink at you.

> WV: Examine the mysterious new passage.

You convince A.imless R.enegade and P.eregine M..endicant to follow you. They seem nervous, but trail behind you curiously. As you three approach the door after a good amount of walking, a feeling of uneasiness washes over you. The passage seems endless with barely any light reaching in after a few steps. You look back at the two behind you.

> WV: Brush off this uneasy feeling.

A true mayor isn’t scared of dark passageways under dunes!

You turn forward again and continue walking. The chamber around you looks to be made of concrete, going on for seemingly forever. You feel a hand awkwardly grab onto yours for comfort. You assume it to be A.imless R.enegade’s hand and digits, as the passage barely allows the exchanging of positions, and he was right behind you last time you checked.

You would humor him, but instead you grasp his hand firmly, reassuring him.

But suddenly, you hear the entrance thud shut. A light flickers on at what looks to be the end of the passageway. It hums as you draw closer, allowing the bulkier one to cling onto you.

> WV: Investigate the end of the really fucking scary passageway.

You approach the end.

There’s a door, but you can’t pull it as there’s no handle, so..

> WV: Push open the door.

It opens with ease, almost as if it were made to be pushed, which it was.

You shake A.imless R.enegade off of your arm and walk in, keeping the door open for your associates. AR stumbles in, with P.eregine M.endicant humoring him a little. You chitter to yourself as it is indeed a bit funny.

> WV: Observe room.

It’s much like the previous rooms you’ve encountered, albeit a bit smaller. A completely new device rests in the middle, however, with its controls at the back. You eye it curiously, straying further from your friends.

> WV: Examine contraption.

You notice at first a podium with a sort of spiral beam thingy connected to the ceiling pointing at it, which your friends curiously stand on. You have a bad feeling about that thing, but nothing’s happening, so you direct your attention to the console at the back.

> WV: Examine console.

It’s a simple setup, with a lever and button. Engravings next to the lever indicate different measurements, but they’re so worn down you can hardly read it. The lever is almost completely down. You have an odd feeling about the button, but it’s just SO enticing..

> WV: Press button.

ZAP!

Panicked, you look behind yourself to see if AR and PM are okay, but..

They’re not there! You look around frantically, anxiety growing until you see dashes of color on the podium.

> WV: Examine dashes of color on the podium.

Is that..

No, it can’t be..

It’s A.imless R.enegade and P.eregine M.endicant! And they’re TINY!

> WV: Pick up AR and PM.

Your friends squirm a whole lot, but they’re rather easy to grab and observe. You don’t think they have any injuries, which is good. The only thing is they’re big enough to hold in one hand. You’re not sure if they’re quite safe in this new state..

A.imless R.enegade tries to bite one of your digits, but it barely hurts. You guess it isn’t too comfy cramped in there with P.eregine M.endicant, who is frozen in panic at the situation. You use one digit to pet them each. They’re kind of cute like this!

> WV: Resist great urge to eat friends.

They’re so adorably small you could just gobble them up! But that’s not what a proper friend does, so you don’t do it.

> WV: Look for hiding spot on person.

You’re not sure if you’re able to grow them back to size, so you look for a hiding spot for your friends.

Well, that was pointless. You have no pockets, you dingus!

> PM: Squirm frantically.

You notice P.eregine has gotten out of her state of shock. That’s good, but now she’s wiggling around like a stupid worm in your clutch, and A.imless isn’t exactly happy.

Oddly enough, worms do seem a bit appetizing at the current moment..

> WV: Resist great urge to eat friends.

Oh, goddamnit! Now A.imless R.enegade is panicking while P.eregine M.endicant is stuck in your throat! She tasted a little coconutty, albeit a teensy bit salty and dusty..

After cramming P.eregine M.endicant down your gullet whole with a bit of a struggle, you’re now eager to taste A.imless R.enegade.

> AR: Fight against WV’s grasp.

The small guy seems to really want to run away. But to be fair, it’s probably safer in your gut, and he maybe tastes really good!

You lap at A.imless R.enegade’s face as he squirms against your tongue. His flavor was quite similar to a banana! Your hungry mouth watered as he stared worriedly at you.

> WV: Eat AR. Now.

He struggled a whole bunch, refusing to go down like P.eregine did. For a moment you thought you’d choke on A.imless, but eventually you were able to gulp him down smoothly. His and P.eregine’s weight fit snugly in your belly, a little unnoticeable, but you can feel them shivering in there, scared as could be.

You think you might owe them an apology if you’re able to hack them up later..

You approach the door that led you to this odd room.

> WV: Pull open door.

Instead of pushing, you pulled.

You could feel A.imless kicking at your stomach walls with P.eregine, but it mostly tickled as you went down the passageway once more. You.. wondered what it was like in there, in your gut. Maybe it was warm and cozy, despite being wet and soggy?

You bumped into the entrance door.

> WV: Push door.

Huh. You guess the wind was the thing that closed it, because it easily opened with a budge. You stepped back outside.

> WV: Make way back.

You were.. Getting kinda tuckered out.

You guess A.imless and P.eregine were, too, due to their decreased activity..

As you made it back to your little spot, you yawned. You guess you could lay down and finally catch some Z’s..

Yeah, that’s a good idea..

> WV: Sleep.

GOOD NEWS!

There’s a new plan to revive the Affordable Connectivity Program, a pandemic-era initiative that provides low-income households in the US with discounts on high-speed internet access.

At the end of April, funding for the program was set to run out, affecting millions. But a bipartisan group of senators, led by Ben Ray Luján of New Mexico, have proposed using a Federal Aviation Administration reauthorization measure as a vehicle for funding the ACP and other telecom programs for a combined $6 billion. Luján’s coalition includes senators J.D. Vance, Peter Welch, Jacky Rosen, Steve Daines, and Roger Wicker.

“Right now, there are over 23 million households participating in this program. That’s more than 55 million people. But it’s not only benefiting these individual families—it’s benefiting their local communities as well,” Luján tells WIRED. “It gives families access to better-paying jobs, to training and education to create economic mobility, to better deals on groceries and household goods. The time is now to save this program.”

The measure also includes a provision for the Federal Communication Commission’s “rip and replace program,” which refunds US telecom providers for removing equipment from Chinese manufacturers including Huawei and ZTE from their networks and replacing it with less-risky tech. Earlier this month, the FCC asked Congress for around $2 billion to help bolster the program, which has faced a shortfall. That initiative has been in place since 2020, which is when the FCC identified Huawei and ZTE as national security threats and then-president Donald Trump signed the “rip-and-replace” bill into law.

“It’s also critical that we adequately fund the ‘rip-and-replace’ program to ensure our country can move forward the effort to remove and replace untrusted technological equipment. This amendment also empowers the FCC to reauction spectrum licenses to free up airwaves and allow more opportunities for the public to access faster internet speeds and more responsive networks,” Luján said.

The Biden administration has made significant investments in broadband expansion over the past few years. In a speech last month, Biden called on Congress to reinvest in the ACP.

“High-speed internet isn’t a luxury anymore, it’s an absolute necessity,” Biden said. “Congress needs to reauthorize that program now.”

Update, May 7 at 7:19 pm: A previous version of this story misidentified the state Ben Ray Luján represents in the US Senate. It is New Mexico.

Digital Burnout: Your Brain is Not a 24/7 Drive-Thru

INTRODUCTION:

Remember when "burnout" meant doing sick donuts in a parking lot? Now it's your brain doing donuts while you stare at your phone from 5PM to 11 PM. Welcome to the digital burnout, the modern equivalent of trying to run a marathon while juggling chainsaws and responding to Facebook messages.

Signs You're Digitally Burnt (Besides Your Smoking Keyboard)

Look, if your eye twitch has its own Instagram following, we need to talk. Here's what digital burnout actually looks like:

Your phone separation anxiety rivals a teenager's fear of missing a TikTok trend

Your thumb has developed abs from endless scrolling

You've memorized every pixel of your LinkedIn homepage

Your coffee maker gets more rest than you do

The Science breakdown (Don't Worry, We'll Keep It Spicier Than Your Ex's Instagram Stories)

Your brain on digital overload is like a hamster who had a Redbull. Chaotic, messy, and heading nowhere fast. Here's the deal:

Your anxiety is partying harder than college freshmen

Your attention span now matches a goldfish with ADHD

Your sleep cycle is more disturbed than a good horror movie 

7 Ways to Stop the Digital Dumpster Fire

Digital Boundaries That Don't Suck:

Treat work emails like that clingy ex – set strict visiting hours

Your phone isn't a conjoined twin – surgical separation is allowed

Create a notification system that doesn't feel like a hostage situation

The 90/20 Method (Because Your Brain Isn't Netflix – It Needs Breaks). Work like you're being chased by deadlines for 90 minutes. Take 20-minute breaks where screens are as forbidden as pineapple on pizza

Implementation Plan (Or: How to Actually Do This Stuff Without Having a Existential Crisis)

Week 1: Reality Check

Count your notification pings (if you reach 1000 before lunch, seek help)

Track your screen time like you track your ex's new relationship status

Document when your eye twitch turns into a flutter

Week 2-3: The Intervention

Delete apps like you're cleaning out your Ex’s belongings

Set boundaries firmer than your grandmother's opinions

Create device-free zones (yes, the bathroom counts)

When It All Goes Wrong (Because It Will)

Look, you'll fail. Like that time you promised to start meal prep or learn Spanish on Rosetta Stone. Here's what actually happens:

The Client Emergency

Everyone's definition of "emergency" is different. Your client's 11 PM "URGENT!" email about font choices isn't actually urgent

Solution: Auto-reply and simply let your snark cannon handle it (don’t do that, you still haven’t paid of school loans yet)

The FOMO Spiral

Your brain: "But what if someone posted something IMPORTANT?"

Reality: It's probably just another gym selfie or coffee art

Solution: Remind yourself that social media is just everyone's highlight reel on steroids (top heavy and disgruntled about everything)

Measuring Success (Without Spreadsheets Because We're Not Monsters)

You're winning if:

Your eye twitch downgrades from "possessed" to "mildly concerning"

You can watch an entire movie without checking your phone

Your plants are alive because you actually notice them now

Your pets remember what you look like

The Real Talk Section

Let's be honest – you're probably reading this on your phone while ignoring three other tasks. The irony isn't lost on us. But here's the truth bomb: digital burnout isn't just about screen time. It's about reclaiming your brain from the technological equivalent of a toddler hopped up on pixie sticks.

Your Action Plan (Because We Can't Leave You Hanging Like a Netflix Series)

Right Now:

Put your phone down (after reading this, obviously)

Take a deep breath (oxygen is still free, unlike app subscriptions)

Look at something further than 6 inches from your face

Today:

Pick ONE thing from this guide

Actually do it (revolutionary, we know)

Don't immediately post about doing it

This Week:

Set up auto-replies snarkier than this article (Again, not recommended if you want to keep your job)

Remember what your hobbies were BC (Before Connectivity)

Conclusion:

Your brain deserves better than being a 24/7 digital carnival. Start small, fail forward, and remember: every time you ignore a notification, an IT angel gets its wings.

Final Call to Action:

Download a Digital Detox Tracker. Or don't. We're not your mom.

FOOTAGE COURTESY OF FAYE O’CALLAHAN

9TH MARCH, 10:05 PM

INT. FAYE O’CALLAHAN’S HOUSE, LIVING ROOM.

O’CALLAHAN’s camera, seemingly a little repaired – or at least wiped clean – catches the image of O’CALLAHAN at the furthest side of a couch, bundled up in a jumper and fiddling with something. There is a black duffel bag next to her.

F. O’CALLAHAN

(to the device, under her breath)

Come on!

She’s not exactly trying to use it, more understand what it is. Her frustration is palpable. As she becomes more and more tense, the device almost crunches in her hands.

F. O’CALLAHAN (CONT’D)

(to the device, less under her breath)

You son of a—

O’CALLAHAN’s words are cut off by a sort of hum beside her. She turns her head to KANELOS, who is asleep across the couch. When she rolled over, an unconscious noise distracted O’CALLAHAN from her anger.

She doesn’t speak again. She hardly even moves, transfixed on KANELOS for a second. Her shoulders drop, remembering KANELOS leaning on them.

F. O’CALLAHAN (CONT’D)

(with a frustrated huff)

Stop thinking like that. You’re lying to her. To yourself.

But she doesn’t take her eyes off KANELOS.

F. O’CALLAHAN (CONT’D)

You’re wrong.

KANELOS shifts again, but doesn’t wake up. O’CALLAHAN rubs her eyes, then goes back to the device.

M. O’CALLAHAN (O.S.)

(on the phone)

… Yes, that’s what happened. When will you be back?

Beat. The person on the other line doesn’t respond. O’CALLAHAN listens intently.

M. O’CALLAHAN (O.S., CONT’D)

(on the phone)

You’ve been away for so long. What’s this trip for again?

M. O’CALLAHAN waits.

M. O’CALLAHAN (O.S., CONT’D)

(on the phone)

That isn’t an answer, love. What are you doing there? What’s really going on?

M. O’CALLAHAN waits.

M. O’CALLAHAN (O.S., CONT’D)

(on the phone)

Is that all you have to say to me? Our daughter—your daughter—killed a man today.

M. O’CALLAHAN waits. The voice on the other line stammers.

M. O’CALLAHAN (O.S., CONT’D)

(on the phone)

Your temper, your instability, your moodiness.

Your love of leaving people out to dry. Need I go on?

M. O’CALLAHAN waits still. Her response seemingly left the person on the other side of the phone stunned.

M. O’CALLAHAN (O.S., CONT’D)

(on the phone)

That’s what I thought.

She continues the conversation, growing more and more frustrated and smug in equal measure. She doesn’t raise her voice too much, as any dignified woman would – at least, according to her.

O’CALLAHAN stops listening to her parents speak. She does her best not to cry, but somewhere along the line, it’s impossible to withhold. She shrinks into herself, the device slipping out of her hands as she hugs herself.

F. O’CALLAHAN

(whispering)

She’s right. You’re all that and worse. You’re evil. You’re—

O’CALLAHAN’s sob interrupts her next words. The noise, however, causes KANELOS to shift, waking.

D. KANELOS

(sluggish)

Hm? Faye?

F. O’CALLAHAN

(startled)

Ah—!

O’CALLAHAN unwinds her hands and crosses her arms, eyes diverted so that KANELOS wouldn’t see her tears.

D. KANELOS

(vague)

What’s wrong? Why am I…

KANELOS’ focus drifts, and can’t find purchase on any one thing. She tries to blink away the lethargy.

F. O’CALLAHAN

Sorry…

D. KANELOS

Why’re you apologising?

F. O’CALLAHAN

Um.

She pauses, picking at her nails.

F. O’CALLAHAN (CONT’D)

I don’t know. Sorry. Damnit!

D. KANELOS

… Why am I not home?

F. O’CALLAHAN

My mum said it’d be easier if we were together after… after…

D. KANELOS

(slight slurring)

It’s—s’okay, you don’t need to say it.

F. O’CALLAHAN

But that’s why. Plus, I think your mum’s busy.

I… I can ask her to take you home, if you want?

KANELOS shakes her head slowly, letting her hair fall onto her face.

D. KANELOS

(mumbling)

No, no, no, I’m fine. Not a lot of, uh, sleep lately, ‘s all.

F. O’CALLAHAN

Okay. Okay. Are you okay? You were kinda…

D. KANELOS

Kinda…?

O’CALLAHAN tenses, looking away.

F. O’CALLAHAN

Weird.

D. KANELOS

Weird?

KANELOS sighs, head moving very slowly. The fan spins in the next room, where M. O’CALLAHAN is still talking on the phone.

D. KANELOS

Blame the whole thing. I could better explain later.

What’s your mum doing?

Despite her efforts, O’CALLAHAN’s shoulders noticeably drop. She raises her knees onto the couch, and buries her head between them.

F. O’CALLAHAN

Reminding dad about how awful I am.

D. KANELOS

(sincerely, offended that her mother would say such a thing)

That’s not true.

M. O’CALLAHAN (O.S.)

(on the phone)

Yes, I’ll deal with it, if you can’t bother to show your face to your daughter anymore. I shouldn’t be surprised really. You’re a disgrace. Just like her.

Beat. The girls stare at each other.

D. KANELOS

(tone uneven)

Well…

F. O’CALLAHAN

(pointed, upset)

I told you.

D. KANELOS

Yeah, you did. Yeah. I’m sorry.

O’CALLAHAN hugs her knees tighter.

F. O’CALLAHAN

Not the first time.

D. KANELOS

Ah…

With some strain, KANELOS sits fully upright and leans over to O’CALLAHAN, placing a hand on her back.

D. KANELOS (CONT’D)

… Tell me. If this ever happens again. I’ll take us on a drive somewhere.

F. O’CALLAHAN

(tense)

Sure.

D. KANELOS

(quietly)

Good.

Just like in the car, she rests her head on O’CALLAHAN’s shoulder and breathes deep, closing her eyes.

F. O’CALLAHAN

(disbelieving)

Are—did you just—?

D. KANELOS

Not asleep. Just cold.

Suddenly, for a reason she can’t place, O’CALLAHAN’s face burns up.

F. O’CALLAHAN

(with a groan)

… Why is this so weird?

D. KANELOS

(opening her eyes)

Hm?

F. O’CALLAHAN

(whisper-shouting)

Nothing!

D. KANELOS

Okay.

KANELOS closes her eyes again and moves closer to O’CALLAHAN. She stares at her for quite some time, trying to place what’s wrong. KANELOS gives an absentminded, content hum as she gets closer. With no resolve to hide away, she’s clingier than ever. O’CALLAHAN balls her hands in and out of fists.

F. O’CALLAHAN

(to herself)

Stupid. Stupid. You’ll just wreck everything.

As KANELOS sinks into her, O’CALLAHAN gets the feeling she was lying earlier. She tries to enjoy the comfort, but with her mother still arguing in the next room, it’s difficult. The footage cuts.

FOOTAGE COURTESY OF DAPHNE KANELOS

9TH MARCH, 11:44 PM

INT. FAYE O’CALLAHAN’S HOUSE, LIVING ROOM.

KANELOS’ camera is sitting idly on a coffee table. There is something on top of it – an item of clothing or the like – that is obscuring its audio.

M. O’CALLAHAN

(audio muffled)

Don’t say anything I don’t tell you to. We can’t afford an outburst with the city detectives.

F. O’CALLAHAN

(audio muffled)

City cops? Why can’t the locals do it?

M. O’CALLAHAN

(audio muffled)

Because they’re incompetent. Only one step up from the Ashray police. This is far beyond their training; if they ever had training in the first place.

F. O’CALLAHAN

(audio muffled)

So… what’s gonna happen?

M. O’CALLAHAN takes a step closer, towering above her daughter.

M. O’CALLAHAN

(audio muffled)

You are going to do every little thing I say so this can be forgotten as soon as possible.

F. O’CALLAHAN

(audio clearer)

Forgotten?

M. O’CALLAHAN

(audio muffled)

Yes. Not only is this an embarrassment to our family, it could ruin my career. I’m not about to have everything I’ve worked for ruined because of you.

F. O’CALLAHAN

(audio muffled again)

Right.

But I did it. I did kill him.

M. O’CALLAHAN

(audio muffled)

He was an old, reclusive nutjob. Not to mention all the rumours. If it helps, look at this like a fortunate accident.

F. O’CALLAHAN

(audio muffled)

Fortunate? I killed someone!

M. O’CALLAHAN

(audio muffled)

If you keep saying that, people will get suspicious. You’re not a good liar.

F. O’CALLAHAN

(audio muffled)

Because I’m telling the truth! I did kill Bell!

M. O’CALLAHAN

(audio muffled)

Don’t say his name. That humanises him. What we’re going to do is try and forget all this, as fast as possible.

F. O’CALLAHAN

(audio very clear)

I can’t just go and do that! How could anyone forget this?

She throws her arms up in anger. KANELOS stirs, but doesn’t move from O’CALLAHAN.

F. O’CALLAHAN (CONT’D)

(nearly shouting, audio very clear)

What kinda person am I if I forget this? You’re just gonna let it get swept under the rug?!

M. O’CALLAHAN

(harsh, audio muffled)

That is exactly what will happen. And you’ll live with it.

For a moment, M. O’CALLAHAN balls her hands into fists, clenched at her side. She sucks in a breath and releases them.

M. O’CALLAHAN (CONT’D)

(audio muffled)

And if you don’t, you may not find the result favourable. For any of us. Don’t make me tell your father what a mess you are.

O’CALLAHAN’s eyes widen. Her entire demeanour changes. She curls into herself, pulling her arms in once more. Her gaze falls to the floor, and her voice is small and pained.

F. O’CALLAHAN

(audio muffled)

… Don’t tell him. Please.

M. O’CALLAHAN

(audio muffled)

That shouldn’t be an issue. If you don’t cause any more problems.

In the face of her mother, she can’t say more. There are no words to help her. O’CALLAHAN nods but doesn’t speak.

M. O’CALLAHAN

(cold, audio muffled)

Good. This will all be over soon.

M. O’CALLAHAN leaves the living room, phone in hand, as she begins to call another number. O’CALLAHAN pulls at her sleeves once she leaves, trying to process everything.

She glances at KANELOS, still asleep, vaguely jealous that she could just crash like that. But nothing more matters. The sun wouldn’t rise for some time. There was no way O’CALLAHAN could rest, though. She sits in silence for some time. The footage cuts.

Incinerators in Kerala: Understanding Air Emissions and Inhalation Exposure Perspectives

Incineration has become a prominent waste management solution in many regions, including Kerala. While incinerators efficiently reduce the volume of waste, they also emit pollutants that can impact air quality and public health. This article delves into the relationship between incinerators in Kerala, air emissions, and inhalation exposure, providing insights into the potential risks and mitigation strategies.

The Role of Incinerators in Kerala’s Waste Management

With increasing urbanization and population growth, Kerala faces a mounting challenge in managing waste. Incinerators are widely used to process non-recyclable waste by burning it at high temperatures, significantly reducing waste volume. However, this process generates emissions that can have environmental and health implications.

Air Emissions from Incinerators: What Are They?

During the incineration process, various gases and particulates are released into the atmosphere. These include:

Particulate Matter (PM): Fine particles that can penetrate deep into the lungs, causing respiratory issues.

Dioxins and Furans: Toxic compounds formed during the burning of organic materials, potentially carcinogenic.

Carbon Monoxide (CO): A byproduct of incomplete combustion, which can lead to health complications.

Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) and Sulfur Dioxide (SO2): These contribute to smog and acid rain, affecting air quality and ecosystems.

Inhalation Exposure: Health Perspectives

Exposure to emissions from incinerators in Kerala can lead to short-term and long-term health effects:

Short-Term Effects: Eye irritation, coughing, and shortness of breath due to exposure to particulates and gases.

Long-Term Effects: Prolonged exposure to dioxins and fine particulate matter may increase the risk of chronic respiratory diseases, cardiovascular problems, and cancer.

Monitoring and Regulation of Incinerator Emissions in Kerala

To address these concerns, authorities in Kerala have implemented stringent regulations to monitor and control emissions from incinerators. Key measures include:

Emission Standards: Enforcing limits on pollutants such as dioxins, PM, and NOx.

Advanced Technologies: Promoting the use of modern incinerators equipped with pollution control devices like scrubbers and filters.

Regular Monitoring: Conducting frequent air quality tests to ensure compliance with environmental standards.

Mitigation Strategies for Safer Air Quality

Adopting Cleaner Technologies Investing in advanced incineration systems with high-efficiency filters and catalytic converters can reduce harmful emissions.

Promoting Alternative Waste Management Encouraging recycling, composting, and other eco-friendly waste disposal methods to minimize reliance on incinerators.

Community Awareness Programs Educating residents about the health impacts of incinerator emissions and ways to reduce waste generation.

Green Buffer Zones Establishing vegetation around incineration plants can help absorb some pollutants and improve local air quality.

Conclusion

While incinerators in Kerala play a crucial role in waste management, addressing the air emissions and inhalation exposure concerns is vital for safeguarding public health and the environment. By implementing stringent regulations, adopting advanced technologies, and promoting alternative waste solutions, Kerala can balance the benefits of incineration with its environmental responsibilities.
