“It’s fine! Ms. Schofield, we brought our own water!”
“Yes, yes, we brought some. We can’t waste yours”
“This water is too clean. It must be expensive. You should keep it for yourself!”

Water was painfully scarce on Garbage Planet, and clean water was an extremely precious
resource.
Everyone who came to work had brought their own water from home, even if it smelled a little off.
Elizabeth looked at their nervous refusals and knew it wouldn’t be easy to change their way of thinking overnight, so she didn’t insist. Instead, she placed the barrel in a shaded spot.
“The water will stay here. If anyone needs it, just take some,” she said before turning back to her own tasks.
Under the blazing sun, the people of Hope Town continued to work with their heads lowered. Sweat streamed down their faces and fell onto the land they were trying hard to transform with their own hands.
Yet on their faces shone a hope and enthusiasm that this planet had never seen before.
Inside a villa that seemed completely out of place on Garbage Planet, Blackrat, One–Eye, and Mamba sat around a table pieced together from battered metal crates.
The atmosphere was heavy.
“Fuck! How is Melton still alive? Looking at him being completely insane yesterday, I thought he was finished for sure!” One–Eye slammed his fist onto the table with a dull thud. The flesh on his face trembled as he snarled in frustration. “If he had collapsed for good this time, we could have swallowed up that bunch of old and weak fools in Hope Town in one bite. And now he’s not only alive, I also hear he could even get up and walk this morning! Damn it!”
Mamba trimmed his nails slowly with a small knife and spoke in a cold and eerie tone. “It’s definitely strange. With injuries like his, his mental power backlash should have either killed him or driven him completely insane. But now… There must be some unknown factor at play.”
Blackrat remained silent, rubbing the jagged scar on his chin. His eyes flickered with calculation.
