Postkort fra 2043: The Bench I Did Not Apply For

Maja,
I built a bench. Not for work. Not on any plan. I carried the planks past three sensor-poles that logged me as "maintenance, unscheduled" and I let them. Under the big linden by Assistens, where the ground has gone soft and green and nobody at the Forvaltning has bothered to zone it.
You know what my job is: I spend the day telling the city where people are allowed to sit. The lamps lean away from you now if you loiter. The plazas drizzle to keep you moving. Everything is optimised so gently that no one notices they are being herded.
So I made one thing that optimises nothing. Rough edges. A splinter risk, frankly. The mesh flagged it within the hour. I marked the ticket "reviewed — retain" and closed it myself. Small revenge. I am, technically, my own approval.
An old man sat there this evening and did not scan anything. Just sat. That was the whole point.
Tell Freja her far broke a rule on purpose and enjoyed it. She'll be shocked.
A.
