“New guard seems…friendly.”
The guards here are never friendly, not to Samuel anyway, not to anyone in fact; even the corrupt ones treat the prisoners here like shit. So why has the new guard seemingly taken such a shine to Hugo and what the hell were they talking about at lunch, when Samuel was given a glare just for looking up from his plate of prison issue slop?
He doesn’t mean to stare at Hugo with such suspicion, but it doesn’t sit well with him, another man seeming so cosy with Hugo, a man who holds a position of power in here, who could use that power to manipulate Hugo, should his cellmate give him the chance. Christ, for all Samuel knows it might be going on already. Hugo did spend a lot of time away from the workhouse yesterday.
“You can’t trust him, you know that, right?”
Samuel isn’t sure if he’s being subtle right now in his accusation, or if he is being blatant; perspective is a difficult thing in Sisika, given he has no real exposure to the outside world. Everything in here seems magnified in importance, ten times over and in truth it’s something he struggles with; that constant sense of impending disaster.
“Whatever he’s promised you Hugo, it’s not…it isn’t real, not like…this...”
Desperately he moves his hand back and forth between the two of them, so there is no ambiguity left and in doing so his jealousy becomes obvious, palpable even but he clearly no longer cares to hide it.
