Me too. I wanted to see what the world looked like after the Cure. I think I would have liked it.
Now you put it that way it makes The Glade sound like paradise. At least we all had to pull together for the sake of staying alive, even if it was tough. Were there many people you bonded with. (I admit, I had to look up lacrosse - why? just why?)
Is it like the way people here patrol? Is that what you and your friends do too? Like guards for killers?
