Bethany lays on Grayson's chest in his arms as he rests his eyes, her doing the same in his shared apartment where Ester, Mikey and Solayo reside. Sitting not far from Bethany and Grayson is an empty cheese, chocolate and fruit platter and an elequoant empty bottle, two glasses.216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8qfCO9rmF
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzrQK8asea
The sun is setting for the day, his friends are returning for the day. "So... how'd it go... with..." Mikey keeps stuttering.216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbad4WONY6a
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhymihF7TyL
"It went fine with Cloud. He helped me out."216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRPV1nc6PZ
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp82ktXQkb7
"I'm suprised his..."216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FPWmJYidQ
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDBTyUgKb4
"He just doesn't wanna stay down there miserable that bastard. His doing this for himself rather than for the benfit of everyone in this community, to get time outside."216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxstvJj0WIq
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdc7eux9HbS
"Well, it's not really time outside. He doesn't get to go out onto the farm or anything. It's still the lower floors in the minus." Estes speaks up.216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoBhB7WKo5
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoNOHdGxZb
"Yeah, his not getting a chance of sunlight till I'm confident his fully moldable." Solayo responds. 216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uJdntjH09
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46vu5kpCKq
"And... how long are we going to keep the rest down there?" Mikey whispers.216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWDzfRWkgg
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnrF32kkYZ
"As long as it takes all of them. One doesn't get to leave, they all have to be ready. The chaos that would ensue if each one isn't ready and able to cope- What are you doing, Grayson?" Solayo speaks up, eyes annoyed when he sees Beth, the food and the booze.216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfb7AL8sz4
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIJjAXylC6
He opens his eyes, realizing his food is back. Mikey eyes Grayson boxers on the floor. "Uh, his fooling around-"216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1ZGf3m8pp
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGThjN4YluJ
"I don't advise you-" Ester adds on, cutting Mikey off, but Solayo cuts her off.216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8oglIVP66
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEa3IZ1yoq
"Shut up both of you. Grayson, please get your boxers on and yes or no, answer me honestly. Are you fooling around or do you like her? Because we have spent the last two months getting the ones who came back on meds as well, and this could disrupt her regime.216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0jr4Vqyrn
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAhpjWYSsa
What if she freaks out on you and realizes what she's doing?"216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLj7urkoIp
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxRBNiZ01M
"She won't freak out. Merge erases their backstory, but not your consciousness. She wanted to- what her and me did, we both wanted this.216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZI28JrU6x
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVVexks7si
And I like her, she's really pretty and I'm better for her anyway."216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSEwsUcI4D
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp17T2X8PjK
"Yeah, I'm pretty sure if Slate knew, he'd have something to say about that-" But Mikey doesn't get to finish, Solayo backhanding him behind the ear. "I'm sorry, Solayo." 216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqzbgipBS3
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82ANYrUQ32
"He wouldn't, neither him or her barely remember eachother. She forgot how she came here, and now she forgot being here and escaping and it's the same for him." Solayo hisses. "As far as those two are concerned, the other is just a stranger who resides on the same floor as and they don't know how they got here except the false story I told them, they came at diffrent times.216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwgbPQZYr8
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzQoDNC1CC
They barely interact socially."216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ384VuGB9s7
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmDl2UrM6x
"Gray, for fuck sake. Just pick up your pants." Ester says annoyed. "Hey, baby. I'm sorry, I'm just goanna move for a second." Grayson tells Beth gently, moving her head off his lap, pulling the bed sheet around him while he grabs his pants.216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMyirqdicM
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4KuPqPRL3
Unlike him, she is clothed kind of. Nothing is showing, but it's just undergarments on. She sits up, tired and confused.216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiqrYflHPJ
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrbRblCVCc
"And while we're on the topic of sex, tell me you use a goddamn condomn." Ester adds on.216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqXrjHv1Vx

"Uh..."216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YXbn3OIBr

"You fucking idiot, Gray!"216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswJOKZ41Rg

"Ester, I'm sorry-"216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJjPt9v7Mb

"Don't you Ester me!"216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrt6bsQMCXr
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvZmPGUtgZ
"Listen to her." Solayo snarls. "Now, I'm going to go set the table now for dinner. Get Beth dressed again and take her backdownstairs-" 216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1GQ2u74aP
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAObH3DcBME
When there is a squeal, Beth diving for the small cheese knife. It's on the blunt side, but it's the only weapon in sight.216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkXnKvgwTC
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEDiB9gCFW
"Beth-" Gray begins, his pants now on and he drops the bed sheet.216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnm55CXuxI
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhBip3qUWK
"You sick fuck! What did you do?! How did I get here!" She screams, focusing on Grayson not noticing Solayo prepping a needle.216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBYUqDI3JN
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPQM6uULgu
"And that's what we we're worried about, ya pervert." Mikey chastisies him.216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0E9lOpY10
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUTOvjUTvj
"She's 19!" Grayson shouts back.216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpH7xCiJHXZ
"We don't care, her meds are the problem! The open alochol there, the endorphines from- I'm not going to finish that last part!" Ester yells back.216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2t7zSFmU2
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQUJqPusnw
"What did you do! What did we do!" Beth yells again at Grayson threatening him with the knife.216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VtUpnrBg4
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU97wWKTJey
"You don't remember us talking and-" 216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ebh0nDP2u
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAU6G72mdK
But she doesn't let him finish. "Shut up! I don't wanna hear it! You're sick. You fucking sicko!"216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡea5pdhv3Fp
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlECHKy9Hw
"Beth, I know you're scared. But I need you to hand over the knife. Can you do that? Hand it to me?" Mikey coaxes, gently sliding towards Bethany, gesturing with his hand when she aims it at him, threatening him too.216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwLEuJWLPD
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToM2fpVCL6
"Woah!"216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWH1YOTS0Hl
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQCrMA4iRI
"Solayo!" Ester calls out. 216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOWMPbqVos
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FGf4NW2qZ
"Handle it!" He calls back. It takes a bit, but Mikey manages to calm her down enough that she hands over the knife.216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCB2jtsVfY
"There we go. Beth, can you let Ester here help you dress?"216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsxbFw8Imr
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrsehAjFoV
She nods softly and Ester helps her, Mikey putting the knife away and forcing Grayson to walk and talk with him.216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUgZXUE73g
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjOu5BMDHa
When Beth's dressed, Ester has her sit and Mikey comes back over to them while Grayson hangs back a short distance. Solayo comes back over.216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cpan6eQoJ
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEkssxEcQG
"Now, Beth. This won't hurt much, just a small prick-" But she dives away, Mikey grabbing her by the foot and pulling her back. "No, you don't!" He yells. 216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVYB1eSnFV
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMrmQcQbEt
"Let go of me!" Beth yells at him, Ester stepping away as Solayo takes her other arm, assisting and presses down with the needle. "No, no! Ah-" She cries, starting to cry. 216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnQakyimR4
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFD0pSU93AI
He and Mikey roughly pick her up and move her from Grayson's bed to Ester, on account hers as restraints attached already... they secure them.216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PqQfzY8Jp
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lPiYytlJA
Ester sitting beside Mikey on his bed as they have dinner, Grayson on his own and Solayo on his own. They're almost finished when Beth wakes up a bit. Solayo quickly places his plate aside, hops down to Beth's level gently brushing her hair aside and keeps brushing her forehead.216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXAtTWT3dK
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKcggVHjGX
"How we feeling, darling?"
"T-tired."216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuYJffqR7n
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5swoqJC9I2
"Yeah. Can we take you back to your room now? Are you calm enough?"216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXLua9Vku6
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RoFjQSAvi
She nods weakly, struggling to keep her eyes open. "Okay, let's go there then." and he undoes the straps, lifting her up in his arms. "Mikey, with me. You both, stay here." He says annoyed as he leaves their apartment with Beth, Mikey following.216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXa0lL8x4J
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORFz6ceyCB
Outside, he gives Mikey his pass and have him swipe the door rendering Ester and Grayson's pass useless, then gives it back to Solayo who snatches it and continues off towards the elevator. 216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVL3Xn3JUlJ
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdBh7UXrVa
When they head to floor 13, the rest of our group is dressed and ready for bed having had dinner when they see Solayo and Mikey with bed.216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTEO7q5FfS
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2PGwkN2N5
"Evening, Solayo." Slate whispers softly looking tired and drugged out. 216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOp1f07fAuy
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPz749xYYls
"Evening, Slate. You ready for bed? How was dinner?"216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vUvoK31NW
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3gxOO4UiB
"Good."216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDPjRYH6nh

"Good. You know the drill, boy." 216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6K4Mow4Eu
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATGgnz0SpM
And Slate heads into his room, Mikey locking it behind him. He then ushers Cloud, Lyla and Gideo into their respective rooms. Paisley is already in bed, hardly leaves hers. "Night, Paisley. Sweet dreams..." Mikey trails off awkwardly, locking it.216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLiyINLAxW
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaAyKORikP
He then heads to Beth's, Beth already in bed and tucked in by Solayo. "Restraints?" He asks. 216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIlMvxjCRV
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YxEJ1TSps
"Nah, we don't need em. She's calmer and we'll just sleep this off. Plus she ate anyway even if it wasn't dinner..."216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKIkLE7Zb3
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4l1VHCvUON
"She'll have a mild hangover tomorrow..."216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQLED8KtOF
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LH4tu8T00
"Yeah, that's goanna be hell for her. Bring her to me later, I'll give her an IV and the morning after."216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCWJx5E3Ue
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEesEQZGBV
"Okay. Y-yeah..."216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihb2uYfRpz

"Let's go back upstairs now, finish our dinner." 216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpd9MlBAfmj

(Three and half years later)216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSF0rPagX3
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUlho40WBI
Our group now around 24-25 not that they know it are all getting out today, three years and a half is a long time, but they hardly recall over half their time. Working towards this part of their rehabilation was difficult when the real truth is it was never about redemption, it was just cruel punishment before it even began and after constant drugging, it's a concept they can't comprehend.216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejLfw9QQSS
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iBWd4yWmz
Bethany's lying beside Gideon, head resting on shoulder as he sits on the floor, bouncing a plastic handball against the wall, coming right back to him.216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDyHYd2GQK
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoMakbvZOM
Slate sits beside them both numbly looking at his lap, occasionally giving the spin of a yoyo that is in his hand.216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNiJX4NNPK
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfgTBzSMW6
"Morning all." Cloud speaks up, coming out of his room. He recieves a few half hearted replies. With the group fairly unresponsive, he checks in on Lyla and Paisley, waking both girls. They each come out of their room.216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWv6wobLVF
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpchW2TnL4
"So, uh, group. Ester, uh, asked me to debrief you today. The uh, leaders only just informed yesterday of the news.216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvb35LTCDjT
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJT7xRnkBP
It seems we are actually getting out today so if you all could collect up what you have here that would be great, and it's also my understanding when we process out, there is some additional stuff we're to collect that we couldn't have due to safety."216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9ALUfNIm3
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHivX5jvw7H
"Safety?" Slate whispers. "Uh, I think you drew occasionally? I'm not sure, but I guess they didn't want you stabbing yourself, them or us with them.
Like the tip." Cloud answers awkwardly.216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezoEpJeiCb
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkC6iHWIzz
Unlike the others, he knows the Tomorrow Party and is good at faking it for the long haul. The amount of time he cheeked the unesscary drugs, disposed of them and never got caught. Three years though down here was a long time when you are aware and awake for it all.216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡut72sDgpvo
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOjq5Z6p1b
"So, that's it for the morning announcements. Breakfast is coming I believe and medication." He finishes, the door at the end of the corridor opening right on time. 216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uabQpsPUv
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbFn5yJMBW
"Cloud." Says Solayo, followed by the others. "Morning, Solayo. I debriefed everyone like you asked." Cloud tells him.216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6ZTvFhr7u
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxfENHU5Qx
"Good, good. So eveyone, breakfast, then meds and grab your stuff please and then we are going to process you out into the population. You have stuff to collect you couldn't have down here, we trust you to hold them and behave appopritely."216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyLyFwpZXh
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3kJuACMvz
"Yes, Sir." Everyone responds. "Good, good." He adds on, handing out breakfast to everyone, making them stand in a line.216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQtKwRUqxe
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZArCbAJii
While they all eat, the leaders prepare their meds. "How you doing?" Solayo smiles, bending down to Paisley even though it's no longer Paisley, a topic that has not been discussed. The girl she is now knows, but rarely talks because what is she meant to say? Lyla and her know they are twins as they look the same, but each feel nothing emotionally.216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGaq9Yetm0
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQtNWWDznQ
He holds out her med cup for her to take which contains the least amount of medication than everybody else. Inside is just one single tablet. She gulps it down, followed by a cup of water.216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIbh6fTf87
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8aQgY8Y8E
She opens her mouth afterwards showing him it's clear. "Good girl." He smiles, tapping her knee and stands.216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9ZXEptzkT
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKCdH0OMx6
Solayo procees to Gideon next. "How we feeling this morning, Gid?" 216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOx8Lo8k4P
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUwIBJnFZX
"Uh, fine I guess."216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZxE5HfVK1

"Yeah? So, what we goanna do when we get to leave?"216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0OzoMFD1w
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPRvZW41mb
"I don't know. Mikey said there would be a job?"216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIoen1maGQ
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTaFihDZSI
"There will be, I don't want you and others to be bored and sitting down here really doesn't feel all that productive, yeah?"216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PkWpX3kp9
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIBZXXrfub
"Yes, Sir."216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DgQeetfq6

"Your meds." 216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh34VOYtS73
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuIr1ekykC
And Gideon swallows them down. "Thank you." Solayo says, moving on. Lyla, Slate followed by Cloud and then Beth.216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemwZcVg8lN
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4n85qoZld
She perks up a little when she sees Grayson. "Morning, Grayson."216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXH50GXdUG
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLl95GjgXN
"Morning, Beth." Grayson responds. "So, Bethany. Hi, how are we feeling?" Solayo questions.216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXEIRbvSnm
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpbaXKwNhD
"Better now that you all are here."216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2knkwGkKHD
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIQf1dgEP9
"You like our visits, good, good." Is Solayo's response. Despite the drugs, Beth's mood and fractured time eventally settled a bit for her to be able to go out with Grayson a bit. There was times they all got to leave for medical appointments and stuff, but she got to leave for other things sometime.216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpQhWemMf0
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xWurLhBpf
Only small though, sitting with Grayson on his lunchbreak even if it was only in the leaders apartment. No matter what it was, she looked forward to those far and few between events.216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI14wdBsFgm
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmIOFDFQNK
"Your meds." Solayo smiles holding her cup out to her which contains the most out of everybody else.216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIF9qJ9ax4
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9UdDWThea
"Do I have to take them?"216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNs1FXIy9wQ
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK10I5xUd1e
"You do, we've been over this. You know how we explained to you before that your mood was quite, well, it changed rapidly through out the day?"216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGicx9zX4N
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9kywNp5wj
"Yeah."216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPV6fpwvHES
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoxKou4j1l
"That's why, and sometimes you posed a threat to yourself, saw things and had seizures. We didn't want you to get hurt so that is why you take these meds so that doesn't happen again ever."216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4p1YmCYwD
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2Z1YwD5W3
"I don't remember what you speak of feels like though, it's-"216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbC2hVgPjz
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7PPpWBQzH
"If you're not ready to leave and your companions can't leave either-" He begins. "No, no. I'll take them. I'm sorry, Sir." She panics, downing them.216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbgKk5c6sL
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTOXs8UIRH
He checks her mouth seeing it's clear. "There we go, wasn't so hard." And stands. Once this is all over with, everyone collects the few clothes and items they have down here, the leaders leading them all to the elevator.216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYhBKFma9Y
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmluhdIavNW
They enter, no one handcuffed as opposed to when they first came down here. "So, as we have discussed before, it's all going to be very overwhelming, there will be alot of people.216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMRUCfZgdv
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFaqJONuD8
We'll show you your rooms, take today to familarize yourself with everything. The day begins at 6:30 for you all and ends at 7 p.m. Lights out are at 9 and no one is allowed in the hall outside that time.216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaNMIes0LI
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPa3fjmrlve
Security will be patrolling the halls. The only reasonable excuse to leave is the bathroom or an emergency like a medical emergency or an alarm goes off signalling evacuation.216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSM3kUpMmh2

"We get to sleep in a bit?" Slate says excitedly. "Yes, you all do." Solayo responds, smiling and he gently ruffles Slate's hair.216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyFINqrmsE

"This is amazing." Gideon says, mouth open as they walk. They get a general tour. Cafeteria, shower and so on, are given their old tags with their first name on them and their keycards showing their access level. They are lead down a corridor that's a little more private and away from noise.216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQyW4viXXq
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6JRr2xrfw
Two doors. "On the left here will be the boys dormitory. Gideon, Cloud and Zekey. Ya'll have a dog you forgot about. His in our apartment so Mikey will be going back to collect him. You take good care of Zekey.216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs97qIsTkzX
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOqcwBRnPS
Girls, you're all in the right room." And he opens both for our pair to split up and enter, looking around. "You want to go collect the stupid dog? I'm tired of it peeing around the place."216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoHixpeJsh
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DwCR2GQoq

Ester goes with him to accompany him, Solayo leaves with Cloud to show him his room, a seperate private room all to his self and Grayson remains behind, gesturing for Bethany to come out and see him. 216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMD4VU2jDNg
216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWvl3bsMG5
She slips out while Lyla and Paisley are distracted putting their stuff away. "Hey you."
