An hour later, as the door to Mida's room opened, she was expecting lunch. That was the routine in the hospital after all. Torture shot, and then lens soup, bread and cheese. A virus might have whipped through the world and changed most everything, but there was still garlic flavoured nan bread. But instead she found Shirin standing in the doorway. The younger girl was eyeing Mida as if she wasn't really sure she could trust her eyes. She had to look past the ruin of her face to see her friend, but once she did, she was seeing Mida and she opened up her arms. Shirin was fifteen.

The only thing that he was sure about was that he'd never see 'scavengers' the same way again. Yesterday, if it even was actually yesterday, had been by and far the worst day of his and his friends' lives. No, it wasn't even a contest. Not even close. First, yet another bad 'training session' with Kestrel trying to 'bring that little monster out of [him]'. Then he found out that Glory was supposed to be killed for being 'unworthy', and Tsunami got chained up to a pillar by their so-called 'guardians' (who, aside with Kestrel, also consisted Dune and Webs, and apparently Morrowseer also, and were more of 'jailers' if anything) to prevent her from interfering.
