    "story": "At 06:40, Daria returns to her Bo-Kaap stoep with the red bag empty, only to find Naledi Khumalo waiting with a show-cause notice and Pieter's camera van idling across the road. Daria upends the bag for the video hearing; a translucent hatch membrane she missed slides out, lands on her boot, and exposes her swearing live to the herp group. She does not hide it: Naledi photographs the bag, membrane, and numbered cooler seal, then issues a hearing date while Pieter leans into frame claiming the hatch proves she kept a cobra. The headmaster sends one warm photograph of children playing football on the cleared playground, but the bag remains open on the step; Pieter's headlights throw a human-shaped shadow into Oom Hannes's ajar doorway, and Daria decides to wait rather than start the bakkie.",
