Kwame’s outfit is notably muted, no longer the bright pastel tones of the episodes earlier, but dark muted tones to match the dark purgatorial environment- the officer doesn’t even extend the common courtesy of closing the door as Kwame relates his experience, despite the fact that he is legally obligated to do so. One flinches as the police officer awkwardly smiles, sometimes even laughs at Kwame’s story. Kwame reports the sexual assault to the police, the scene is jarring- to say the least. *Disclaimer-This blog post talks about sexual assault* To read part one of the blog, please click here.
