‘family’ dinner at the Powers’ house, Julie guided Peyton to the upstairs bathroom for his bath. She inserted eye drops into Peyton despite his complaining. Tricia cleared the table and rinsed and stacked dishes in the dishwasher. Stan had a moment with Banks. “Julie, Tricia and I would really appreciate you’re moving in permanently. You’re great with Peyton and Julie deserves a break. We’ll give you room, board and a small salary. Please say yes, Banks.”
Tricia turned around, “Please stay with us, Banks.”

Tuesday
In a Jewish Orthodox synagogue, men sat separate from the women. Traditionally, the women sat upstairs and the men sat downstairs. At this instant at Juneau-Douglas High School cafeteria, all girls sat on west side and all boys sat on the east side. The girls discouraged the boys to sit with them. The girls wanted to talk about their shared experience and seemed to be of one mind. The boys shook their heads and whispered amongst themselves. Besides, they could be free to talk about more important things like sports, cars and sex.
Tricia and Ann sat together in large group.Chastised by some of the seniors, Johnny gave in and approached Tricia. He said, “Hey, babe come join me.” The buzzing of the bevy came to a halt.
Tricia responded politely, “Oh, Johnny. Got to do the girl thing. We’ve got Thanksgiving together, remember?” Try to understand, we need this time together.” Johnny got it, but he realized his friends would not.
He walked back to his table. “Everything is fine. They’re talking boring smack anyway.” The guys mocked him for his failure.
At the Tlingit Compound, Banks Blackhorse packed his clothes as if he were going on a very long trip. In his apartment, Banks decided that he would install two padlocks.
He opened the refrigerator door and noted how much space all his vials took up. He thought that it would be rude to occupy that much refrigerator space at the Powers’ house and additionally thought it would be forward if he purchased a small fridge for his room. So he concluded that a month’s medicine for Peyton and him would not occupy much room in Powers’ refrigerator. He didn’t want his uncle to start counting vials and taking notes of monthly visits since it would occur to the Chief that either Banks was using too much or that he was sharing his gift. Sharing the gift would be considered as a violation of his agreement. And that would make Banks, in the eyes of his tribe, a traitor, a liar and dishonorable to the Spirit above. Banks installed the first padlock to his refrigerator. After he completed that installation, he decided to install another padlock to his front door. The noise he created caused some attention from the other tribesmen on the second floor.
Banks explained to others that he thought this would be a temporary move to see how he would face isolation which was a necessary step in becoming a Chief. Of course this was a lie to his tribe, but then, what difference would one more lie make?
An hour later, Marilyn came over with Carol Rainwater and they wanted to help him. Banks carried clothes down the stairs and Marilyn and Carol followed with his toiletries. Chief Dan with hands on his hips observed the activities. Marilyn whispered to Banks not to worry about Chief, by telling Banks that Chief would come around. She continued, “I believe in the near future,
