The protagonists, Charlie and his girlfriend Claire. One day Charlie and Claire living happily end up getting laid off from work and have no money left. Then a family of people come and take their responsibility bringing them into their house, a place they started calling a home away from home. This family was like a school too, many people, same old TV shows, banks and society, and workers.
Later they move Claire out to some other location, not known to Charlie, possibly deep inside knm territory like before. Now Charlie trys to escape this city but is compelled and forced to come back to the residential house assigned. He does not know what happened to her, he is not able to contact her anymore, even their photos together look old, and faded to Charlie. This is a desperate situation, in two or three years of staying in that house started making some room over there for himself, as he kept getting hit, real or wahem by them.
Everyone keeps telling him that nobody will survive here if he does not keep mum about all this. Even so his own life could be in danger to sudden injury or mishap. And what about how is he going to survive without money and help from this family. He no longer is even able to keep a photo of Claire anymore.
They keep telling him that Claire was their agent sent to get him here, she was not his girlfriend even at all ever. This leaves Charlie in doubt and he gets all sort of low confidence bouts because of her sudden absence.
