Long Answer

1. Zeen’s father takes the credit and does not give it to Zeen, who did the work, to protect him. He thinks officials will be at the speech, and he does not want to put Zeen’s talents on display for fear of him being put in danger at the hands of leaders. His father remembers some of his own Testing experience, which he recounts to Cia, and he fears his children going through the danger he recalls. Before the speech, privately, Zeen’s dad shows his pride and gives Zeen credit and praise. (Various chapters)
