Loved this! Gotta appreciate custodial staff - moon or anywhere else!

Your dialogue is superb, for real. I'm taking notes on good conversation writing!

Thank you! I’ve been doing a lot of short conversation scenes for another work, so I suppose the practice has been paying off.

I loved how you made janitorial work feel somehow heroic. And that "subira" name is so common where I am from. is it common there too?

Thank you! The setting- a shared one done as a collab around Christmas- is deliberately cosmopolitan, so I pulled on names I’d hear and cultures I’d see throughout the big cities I’ve visited.

What a great story! And I love how you focused on the janitors, the unglamorous work that keeps everyone alive!
