Abandoned Town (Darling in the FranXX)

The Abandoned Town is a former modern residence of humanity before they deserted the surface for the plantations.
== Overview ==
Before the arrival of the Klaxosaurs in 2037, humanity lived on the surface but the social status were segregated. The wealthy lived in tall skyscrapers, whereas the middle and lower class lived in smaller residences. When the Klaxosaurs appeared and caused destruction, APE introduced and led the plan to create the plantations, which required humanity to abandon the surface for security in the plantations.
For close to a century, the remnants of humanity never stepped foot outside or out of proximity of the plantations, and the children are never taught anything about the outside world. Squad 13 is the first unit of Parasites to be allowed outside the plantation for a vacation to the beach. They accidentally discover the abandoned town while exploring the area and find a mansion that has interior similarities to their boarding house, leading them to suspect it was used as an inspiration to build the environment they live in.
They also question why humanity abandoned the surface for the plantations and become curious about how society operates before the plantations. They all later have a beach barbeque and sleep on the beach after this talk.
