"I was so tired of the constant routine. Every single morning was the exact same thing in our small little world. I wanted more than anything to be done with it. Although I'm one of the very few that held that opinion. This morning was yet another day of the same boring routine, but tomorrow, tomorrow meant the world." Alex wants more than anything to be claimed. To be taken from her small little village to the Other World. She doesn't understand what the Other World is. No one had ever returned from the Other World, including her father. But even so, anything is better than a life that might as well have been a routine.
