Abandoned Factory

Abandoned Factory is an area in the East District of Glie, and is one of the two official areas in which Haibane cocoons are found.

The Factory

Abandoned factory is the second of the two Haibane nests we see in the series. At various times Abe has stated there are others,but no details are given of thier locations,the occupations of thier inhabitants, or thier connections to other nests.

Located in Glie's eastern district, Abandoned factory is a derelict collection of industrial buildings.

The 'factory' itself consists of two main buildings, of comparitively open structure, which appear to be at least three stories tall and cover a considerable area. These are set close together, with only a narrow open space between them. Niether is entirely intact, which may be the result of simple age and decrepitude, or the activities of salvage crews. The whole is surrounded by a fenced-off tarmac or concrete apron, and there may be a number of other, smaller, buildings. Athough these are little more than sheds.

Overall, Abandoned factory is a rather grim and forbiding place compared to old home. However tumbledown the latter might be.

While the name of the complex suggests it was once a factory of some kind, no mention is made of what the factory produced, or how it came to be abandoned.

Factory Haibane

The factory Haibane differ to the Old Home haibane in appearance. Whilst Old Home haibane wear mainly formal clothes, Factory haibane tend to wear more casual, fashionable clothes. Some (such as Hyouko) use these clothes to disguise their wings and halos, making them appear human.

Due to an incident many years prior to the events in Haibane Renmei, there is a sense of hostility between the two haibane nests, particularly involving Hyouko, Midori and Reki.
