Description: Toki Pona song in memory of Nex Benedict, a wonderful non-binary 16-years-old student assaulted in their school's bathroom on February 7, 2024 after years of bullying due to their gender identity. They died the next day. The song uses a non-traditional scale (the C Symmetrical Augmented Scale) which allows some chords to fit in both their major and minor versions. It's kind of a non-binary scale, you might say. The tempo is 119 bpm (911 backwards), and the whole thing's just under 2 minutes (similar to the assault's duration) Big thanks to soko Miselija for its poem as the basis of the lyrics, for the cover artwork and for lending me its voice.

Due to his anemia, he was wearing a ski mask. Officers received a call saying that McClain was being suspicious. They grabbed him and wrestled him to the ground. Supposedly the body cams of three officers fell into the grass. They placed him in a carotid hold, meant to cut circulation off to the brain (the practice was banned in 1990). When medics arrived, they administered a \"therapeutic\" dose of ketamine, leading McClain to go into cardiac arrest.
