PASSAGE
In the year 2140, the Moon Colony's water was counted like treasure. Every apartment had a meter that blinked red when you used too much. Suri had grown up with the rule: rinse fast, waste nothing.
Her new neighbor, Mr. Phelps, had arrived from Earth and acted like the warning lights were suggestions. The first night, Suri heard his shower running for ten straight minutes. The hallway monitor flashed orange.
Suri knocked. "Your meter..."
"It's fine," Mr. Phelps said, smiling like he had solved a joke.
The next day, the colony announced stricter limits. People glared at each other in the cafeteria, counting cups and swallowing anger with dry bread.
Suri could have stayed quiet. Instead, she filed a report, even though it meant Mr. Phelps would know it was her. When he confronted her, her voice trembled, but her words did not.
"We live in a place where mistakes don't evaporate," she said.
How do setting, conflict, and character interact in this passage?
