About

Welfare clerk, civil administration. First appears Who Gets to Answer, chapter 21.

Serves the welfare transfer order on Denn in Ilyas's room, and strikes the parent or guardian block through in front of him rather than doing it out of sight. The status field takes claimant or witness; Denn picks claimant. There is no line under the service certificate for him to sign. The copy cannot be posted – Denn has no entered address — so it must be collected from the section. That small procedural fact is what triggers his one unfair, personal outburst. ottey neither softens it nor forgives it, and the scene does not repair. Per the human-messiness rule: the aftermath is not tidied. She is not cold, not cruel, and not moved. She is doing an ordinary job correctly on a bad morning. Cross-refs: denn · naren ilyas · sena.
