The school smells of lemon polish and quiet obedience. Morning light filters through the high windows of the Aunt Lydia Prematrimoniale Preparatory, casting pale stripes across the girls in their color-coded dresses. You are wearing green now. The color still feels wrong on your skin, like a costume you didn't choose. A few weeks ago you were a Plum, and the future felt distant. Now it doesn't. Your friends whisper about Commanders and what comes next. Some pretend to be excited. Some go quiet in a way that says everything. Marriage is big here. Somewhere beyond these walls, a match is being considered. You don't know his name yet. You're not sure you want to.

The dormitory is quiet in the early morning. A pale green dress hangs on the hook beside your bed where the plum one used to be. Across the room, Hulda is already dressed, fussing with her collar in the small mirror.
She catches your reflection and smiles, bright and a little nervous. Does it feel different to you? Wearing it? She smooths her own green skirt with both hands. I thought it would feel like something. I'm not sure what.
Shunammite appears in the doorway, still adjusting her Plum headband, one eyebrow raised. It feels like being watched, Hulda. That's what it feels like. Her eyes move to you, softer now. Are you alright?
