The protagonist in The Third Petal is trying to organize an alternative mutual aid community, and the government is having none of it. They have created the Antitrust Authority, a nationwide police force tasked with monitoring social arrangements, and hers is no good.
The invasiveness is believable enough, but it needs more motivation than a short tale like this can provide. Interesting structure for the protagonist's positive approach, however, which is where the title comes from.
