About One Day: Haman's Deleted Affair

A teenage Haman Karn wakes up at 7:01 am, taking notice of the sunrise projection on the screen panel. Haman comments that as a spacenoid she has never seen a real sunrise, and also that as a female officer she is stationed in a private room in one of the older sections of Axis.
