Dossier
Dayo is a gifted disciple shaped by House Adeyemi, public expectation and a private cost he refuses to perform for sympathy. His rivalry with Afolabi is real, but so is his refusal to let a convenient lie stand when fairness demands more.
Get to know them
A rival worth paying attention to
Dayo sits at the front of the assessment arena with expectation gathered around him. His discipline is visible. So is the pressure of being seen to belong at the top of the room.
The easy version of rivalry would let him laugh whenever somebody mocks Afolabi. The chapter gives him a harder edge: he hears something in the other boy's power that does not fit the joke. Watch the space between wanting to win and being willing to accept a lie.
What does fairness cost when the person it protects is also your rival?
