It feels more like a town, to me. Like the village I was born in. I mean, I was really small when we left, but even as a kid you could tell - it was a Roma village right after the war, in Ukraine, and everyone had terrible hurts and sharp edges, and nobody talked about it, really, because every who was old enough already knew, and nobody wanted the kids to hear. But it was there. And everyone was in each other's business and we'd close ranks against outsiders, but that didn't mean people were all friends. It just meant you were closer together when your broken bits jostled into each other.
