For their own good. Chapter 2: Scraps

Even in the ruins of a shattered civilization, those who remain know that the old world has not disappeared. It is only sleeping, safely sheltered by these ruins. But what can the desperate desire to return at least some part of it result in? An obsession that clouds the brain or a goal that will dispel the fog of doubt and hesitation. The insignificant details of everyday life, abandoned junk, and a long string of memories are now the only connection to life that everyone in this world would like to return.
