The presentation is rough, but she gets through it. Barely. Only, probably, because it is for Faraday. But the presentation isn’t all of it. Then comes Q & A. Still no Liz. Faraday closes up his notes and makes his way to the front of the class. Dany is stuck front and centre – but, as always, he referees from the podium. “You know what comes next,” Faraday says to her, and then he turns to the class. “Shoot,” he tells them. “Like, literally,” Sonja mumbles in the front row. Dany tries to ignore her, but Sonja’s right. Faraday might as well stand her in front of a firing squad. She knows how Faraday operates Q & As, but wonders if he’ll really let the clock run out in silence, the way he says he will. Dany looks at Eva, waiting for her to ask a question. But Eva doesn’t move.
