Whose name means ‘love,’ an only child, a cousin, born 1991, moves with the illusion of having everything under control, cares deeply, radical, yet to find her truest self (on the verge of this), the responsible one, grounded with expensive taste, has forgotten the sound of her own laugh, feels where she’s been under her skin but cannot show it, a Black girl becoming grown, perhaps a woman dreaming towards more true language. "FURLOUGH’S PARADISE"

Whose name means ‘honor earns a crown’ or ‘rain,’ Mina calls her ‘de,’ an only child, a cousin, born 1991, quick-wit, infinite sense of humor and self, cares deeply for her communities, a dreamer, logical and calculating, has a very clear map to freedom, has grown up in prison, tough edges: seemingly unshakable, infinitely tender, rocked in instances of injustice. At the start of the play, she has convinced herself that by blood she has no family. "FURLOUGH’S PARADISE"
