Gideon walked along the hospital hallway before eventually drifting outside toward the open space that was supposed to be a garden.
Instead of greenery, he only saw hardened orange sand covering the ground so the patients could walk more easily.
A few benches were scattered around, and several patients were doing light exercises while a nurse stood in front of them, guiding each movement.
He sat down on one of the benches and tilted his head up to look at the sun. Even though evening was approaching and the light had started turning orange, the sun still felt twice as hot as the one from his old world.
His mind wandered as he wondered how so many people here still kept their skin pale instead of turning tan like Summer.
Then Gideon remembered the time Delilah scolded Summer for standing under the sun too long.
"Summer! Get back here! The sun has ten times more UV rays than normal. You won't just get tanned, you'll get skin cancer!"
