Mom had told her not to trust people when outside, even if they were fellow Mutant Patients. She could reveal her Mutation traits to them, but she must never reveal her elf ears.
Just released from "the cage," and with an immature mind, she initially thought she had found her kind when she saw the Variant district attached to the city, filled with joy.
They all had Mutation traits, so even if she revealed her own, it shouldn't be a big problem, right?
However, things were not as she had thought.
As a Variant elf, her status was even lower than that of Variant humans, but those people would smile and chat with her, telling her entertaining stories about the area while they actually went and reported her at the city gates!
Only when a group of guards came looking for her did Feya realize she had been deceived. She was completely unable to understand the reason behind their actions.
