The one with close-bitten nails introduces himself as Castor and the other, who’s his brother, as Pollux. I wait for Pollux to say hello, but he just nods. At first I think he’s shy or a man of few words. But something tugs on me - the position of his lips, the extra effort he takes to swallow – and I know before Castor tells me. Pollux is an Avox. They have cut out his tongue and he will never speak again.
