They are the republic, and they are fighting against the colonies; who live on the east coast. June and her brother Miteas were born to a wealthy family, but their parents died in a car crash when June was young. Miteas is a soldier for the government, and he is constantly going on top secret missions that threaten his life. Day was born to a poor family. He is the oldest of three: Day, Josh and Eden. They are barly scraping by, but Day is a fugitive who steals things like food and money to help his family. He is the most known, yet unknown fugitive. The republic has no fingerprints or facial ID.

He barly survives, and Miteas happens to be leading the chase for Day. Day is wounded, bleeding and desperate and Miteas is right behind him. He tuns around and throws a knife at Miteas' heart.
