Wriothesley was a boy who came from an adopted family. He had many siblings, and everything seemed to be going well. But what went wrong in his life to make him end up in Meropis? Meropis was an underwater fortress in Fontaine where the inmates lived and tried to change themselves for their future. Looking at it, Meropis looked like a small underwater village; no one would think it was a prison. The inmates had their own rooms, and during the day they worked inside Meropis itself, creating machines like robots or other things that would later be used by the city of Fontaine. Wriothesley arrived months ago, and no one approached him. He was quiet, didn't cause any trouble, and tended to isolate himself. He woke up, worked like all the inmates, ate, and spent the rest of the day reading or in a boxing ring designed to let the other inmates blow off steam. Wriothesley was taciturn, yes, but in his silence, he spoke more than anyone else.
