"There are fields, endless fields, where human beings are no longer born. We are grown. For the longest time I didn't believe it…but then I saw them with my own eyes" -Morpheus
The link about the slave gardens made me think of a few, kind of dark possibilities.
There have been rumors in the past, about the starving people of NK having to resort to cannibalism.
What if there is an agreement with NK to hide "children farms" run by slave adults in such dire conditions, that they agree to "farm "their own kids as slaves and meat for the cabal sacrifices, organ and blood, as well as Adenochrome harvesting in a constant relatively stable supply, and, in exchange, they are allowed to keep some of their offspring either to raise, or to market their body parts as a means of survival?
Dark. I still think my darkest thoughts cannot possibly approximate the true darkness of the reality of it.
