What is The Resettlement Complex

After the Ranger Rampage, the Resettlement complex on the outskirts of the City is where those who tried to escape in the Wilderness are sent. However, Agnes never sees another member of the Community while she lives there with Fern. In their City home, Agnes decorates Fern’s room like the Wilderness and tells her stories of life there, hoping that Fern never forgets the nature that brought them together. The Complex is adjacent to a marsh, divided by a fence with a hole. Agnes sometimes secretly brings her daughter to this hole in the fence, sneaking into the marsh so that Fern can grow up hearing the sounds of the frogs and toads that live there in order to remind her of the nature she used to live in.
