[There is a mildly anxious child on the feed, sitting on the edge of the community building roof as she munches down on some potato chips; this child's diet is 1000% on point. But more importantly, she flashes the video feed several stories below toward some of the trees. The little accent is full of confusion:]

They are dying. What are they sick with?

Shouldn't someone do something to save them? ¿Dónde está el jardinero?

[Seriously, nobody seems concerned about the leaves all falling off. Or them turning odd colors.]

[Alec's expression shifts to confusion, trying to figure out why the girl didn't know about trees. Maybe she's from a world like Rey's?]

Usually that does mean we're sick but trees are different than us. On some worlds, their leaves change color and then they fall. It's their way of surviving through the winter.

Did you live somewhere without trees?

[shoplifter]

No, there were trees. My room didn't have windows.

[An entirely logical response.]

[angelic_archer]

What about the other rooms?

[There had to be other rooms... right?]

[shoplifter]

No... They didn't want us to see outside. It made us want to go out there more.
