Synopsis: People made of clay are all from the same small region of land, where they are produced industrially. A lot of potential life is wasted, sometimes because the clay wasn't shaped quite right, sometimes because an exploding body damaged others around. Emmanuel 7.18 has a whistle in his voice, because part of his head is missing, and only 2 others from his batch survived. But they're all damaged and can't be used at court. So 7.18 becomes a messenger instead. Today he's visiting another clay person, who gets a message of no, you can't experiment on the good clay.
