Lenni lives on the civilised side of the wall, a hard worker who follows the rules. Super-fit and healthy, with everything he could wish for -- an office, app-friends, and enough medications to suppress the extraneous. Like everyone in his country, Lenni’s safe. So why does the big, handsome guy cry each night? What of his aching heart and empty arms?

It’s pretty high up there.” Lion takes me seriously, and fishes in his pocket for a pocket weather dial. “No, no, you should be okay. Today is a calm day.” We catch each other’s eye and then quickly look away. I stifle a laugh but Lion’s as stony-faced as ever. Going over the wall isn’t an experience which could be described as calm. It’s weird we never discuss anything of importance such as the people who live over the other side or why the wall was built in the first place. Maybe Lion doesn’t care either. I’m not sure if our refu
