We never have any further insight into why people are living in climate-controlled Havens, or why this version of Rome is in America for some reason, to be honest I still don’t even know what a Grey is. For a decade, between the ages of roughly ten and twenty, Mary’s life was filled with abuse and other bad things happening to her, some of which were a result of bad choices she made.
