It was the sobbing words of the First Ward female student who broke the silence. Trying hard not to cry, the girl couldn't stand it while she was in one of her friends' clothes.

In the Far Circle, they were humiliated, worked long hours, sheltered in unfavorable conditions, and fought wild creatures, but they had not encountered an attempted rape. Maybe because they weren't even considered that valuable, perhaps because they didn't want to disrupt their workforce, rape wasn't on the Far Circle's torture list, but it happened to them from the first night where they were excited to come here.
