At the rehab center where Jana has been placed, there are nineteen others in her unit. Some are war vets like her, others experienced trauma, a few were abused, and some more were taken hostage during the war. After a few weeks there, though, Unit 479C starts wondering about their "mom", who takes care of them and begins their therapy. Jon, or "Mom", is a worker at the rehab center. He does his job so well that his subjects begin to wonder about his past and why he hasn't told them anything about himself that happened before he was taken in by the center years ago. Jana can't resist prodding him, so eventually she gives in to her curiosity and starts doing some research. (Same universe as You Might Think I'm Crazy and Some Old Dance Floor)

Jared's uniform was huge. It was definitely way too big for me. I silently cursed my brother for being so freaking tall even at my age. I kicked off my uniform debating whether I should even wear it. Yes, of course, I would wear it. A ridiculously large uniform would be better than no uniform in my opinion. Easier to blend in that way. I slowly brushed up my long black hair into a ponytail, trying to kill time. "Liliana, are you ready yet?" Mom's voice cut into the calm silence of my room. I groaned. "Do I really have to go?" "Yes, I already told you why. Now hurry up and get ready or you'll be late." Ughh. Yeah yeah, I need to learn self-defense and be more physically active do I don't turn into a potato chip freaking chicken nugget. ...
