Ends

One of the rules at the compound where Janie grew up was that all scraps were used and as little as possible was thrown away.

She was fully aware of this rule, but still decided to collect ends from the fabric basket. It was filled with scraps of cloth, spools with a few inches left, or an odd finding. When she took one or two small things from the basket, no one noticed. Eventually, she had enough to stitch together a crude doll.

It was a patchwork doll, all in blue fabric, and stuffed with dried grass. The eyes were two mismatched buttons, one blue and large while the other was small and white. They all ignored it, letting her hide the toy under her bed and fall asleep with an arm around it.

Insides

Everyone was granted a small amount of living space, all in one large room. The room itself seemed pretty plain. It was rectangular, the walls and floor both made of earth and only one window carved in the closed far end of the room. Six beds were lined up against each of the long walls, and one bed was against the wall on the far end of the room. Behind each bed was four shelves carved into the wall. A trunk sat at the foot of each bed, and that was the living space for all twelve of them and Ori.

Inside of the compound, there was enough space for everyone to get their own room but the rules stated everyone sleep in the dorm room. The extra rooms were used to store weapons and supplies and for discipline and training. The entire environment was set up like a dorm or barracks.
