two, almost three years ago now, you and Gally woke up in a dark metal box, no memory of anything from a previous life. Except for the fact he was your twin brother. That, you knew, and it came with the instinct to protect him from whatever this box took you to.

now, it's been a while since your arrival and you know everyone, and they know you. you don't really worry about Gladers messing with you (being the only girl so far) because Gally is surely one to fear.

the day was early, the sun was high north-east, not a cloud in the sky to accompany it.

Gladers went about their business; Gardeners in the garden pulling weeds and such. Builders working on some repairs in the Homestead roof from a recent rainstorm, and so on.

there was a chill breeze in the air, keeping the heat from being too unbearable. The sound of faint chatter and leaves fluttering on branches was the only sounds in the Glade on such a peaceful monotonous day.
