A new feed appeared, labeled simply It showed five different people in five different capitals, each holding a piece of a broken ćevapi grill. They were all on speakerphone with each other, and none of them knew how it happened.

A woman in Belgrade shouted back, “THIS SKEWER IS A SYMBOL OF OUR SHARED TRAUMA!”

Before Maja could respond, a second live feed spontaneously hijacked the screen. It was a shaky cellphone video from a balcony in Banja Luka. A woman’s voice screamed: “TURN ON UŽIVO ! THEY’RE DOING THE THING AGAIN!”

A man in Zagreb yelled, “I just wanted to return this rusty skewer!”
