Diary page

Torn diary page The Inner Circle. Who came up with such a name for the handful of people running the country, hiding behind the image of the Wise Leader? I often asked this question at first, but then realized that there was as much sense to it as there is in the appeals of citizens coming to the Ministry. Because the Inner Circle doesn’t include a single honest person... I used to think that one of them was trustworthy. But he turned out to be the most cunning and slippery of them all. I sometimes even doubt whether he’s human at all.
