THE PARALLEL PATH
Kola paid National Insurance for forty years, went self-employed at thirty-seven without knowing the employer match had stopped, and received a full new State Pension of £230.25 a week against a Woolwich rent of £1,200.
THE 472
Bunmi saved less than £100 a month after eighteen months in England, watched a Windrush-generation resident's investment account grow by £826 without effort, and understood for the first time that £54 was leaving her payslip every month for something she had not chosen and could not yet use.

EP 3: THE REFLEX
At a naming ceremony in January, a husband pulled his wife in without thinking. Bimpe saw what she didn't have. Sade called it envy. The reader will understand later it was grief.

Samuel Chukwueze started at the Emirates, contributed nothing to a 3-0 loss, came off at half-time, and will spend the next three weeks waiting to find out if a £24 million negotiation between two clubs determines whether he ever plays for Fulham again. Arsenal scored three first-half goals for the first time since March and opened six points on City, who still have two games in hand.
