The first volunteer arrived at six twelve, eighteen minutes before her assigned time. I signed Ruby into room two, gave her the accessibility map, plus resisted checking whether Nina had opened my morning message. Personal fear could occupy my body without receiving control over our public opening plan.
{Kofi: Opening begins at eight. I will be offline except during scheduled breaks. No reply needed.}
Her name remained beneath one silent delivered mark throughout the opening preparation period. The lack of response changed nothing about the forty-two adults relying on an accurate opening plan.
At six thirty, all three keyholders unlocked their buildings through the revised schedule. I confirmed each radio channel, sent volunteers toward their stations, plus delegated room checks instead of inspecting every location myself.
