Sani is a fifteen-year-old girl encountered in the aftermath of a brutal attack, her right hand mangled, three fingers broken and bone splinters exposed. Her brief appearance gives a painful, intimate measure of the violence suffered by ordinary people.

Description

Sani is fifteen, with sleek black hair that has no brown or blond strands. She wears a simple white cotton shift, with her safehand exposed. Her right hand is badly mangled, its three broken fingers and bone splinters an unmistakable, painful detail; beyond that, the text offers no further physical description.
