Thomas gets shoved in a dirt pit, which is dimly lit by the sunlight that hits the glade, he tries to settle down but another boy comes up to him.
"Hey, greenie. I'm Alby, can you.. remember anything about yourself? Maybe your name, or where you came from?" Alby asks, his voice somewhat soothing in a way.
"I... uhm..." Thomas stutters a slight look of panic crossing his face as he starts fiddling with his hands, "Why don't I know my name? W-why can't I remember anything..?!" He continues clearly getting more panicked and worried then before.
"It's alright greenie, it's happened to everyone at one point, but your name, it'll come back to you in a day or two, it's the only thing they let us keep." Alby says before being interrupted by Thomas,
"They? Who's they?" He asks, Albys face turns from welcoming to confused,
"That.. we don't know. But c'mon, lets get you used to this place, this is your home now!" Alby says, his face cheering up. He unties the rope and lets Thomas out, showing him around his new home.
