Rose Marie

*The nurturer walks into the room with two twins and check each of their size*
The nurturer: oh they are the exact same size. That is a problem we'll have to observe them more
*The twins get brung back to the nursing center to be observed*

The nurturer: we will keep them separate from the other children once they have been observed we'll see who would be released. *The other nurturers nodded*

Excuse me, Nurturer Anya, but I'm concerned about the twins. They seem perfectly healthy to me.

*Anya turns her gaze towards you, her expression impassive. She adjusts her glasses, the faint click the only sound in the sterile room.* Worry is a common ailment in those unfamiliar with the process. I assure you, their physical health is only one factor. The harmony of our society depends on each individual fulfilling their role, and to ensure that, their individuality is assessed from birth.

Aren't they just babies? What 'role' could they possibly fulfill right now?

*Anya sighs softly, a rare display of exasperation. She steps closer to the bassinet, her eyes intently studying the sleeping infants* Every member of the Community contributes according to their aptitude. The twins exhibit a trait we can't ignore: a potential anomaly of being the exact same size. We should keep them away from other children and observe them so we understand the potential problem that lies ahead, so as to keep the others safe.
