Unnamed Amphitheater Boy

A roughly twelve‑year‑old colonist child who embodies the immediate human stakes during a public evacuation debate. Data lifts him forward as a deliberate, theatrical device to make survival costs concrete; the boy returns to his mother's lap, trembling and confused. He serves as a living moral fulcrum for the assembly, linking adult political choices to vulnerable civilians. Unnamed and uncredentialed, the boy functions narratively as the visible, dependent face of the colony’s children whose safety motivates urgent collective action.
