NAXVERA
Helen Ward
Reads the forms for the week. If there is a place, she writes. If there is not, she writes anyway — another date, or a no. She does not sell the list. She does not put a fee on the screen.
Two voices, not a stage. The names below belong to the room, not to an advert.

Opens at 18:30. Brings the notebooks. Does not raise his voice. Points at the cable if you stay at home. Asks why a sentence is still on the page. He does not sell a method with a trademark. The method is the hour.
Helen and Tom are not a brand pair on a poster. They keep the same room. If Helen is away, the forms wait. If Tom is away, the Tuesday is moved, not filled with a guest who does not know the list. Naxvera does not hire a host for a week to look busy.
Helen reads in the morning. She does not sit at the table unless she is in that week’s group. A no is a date or a closed week, written down. She does not leave a form unanswered to look in demand.
Tom brings the notebooks. He does not raise his voice. He does not sell a method with a mark. If you stay at home, he points at the cable once. If a sentence is still on the page without a reason, he asks. That is the whole of it.
