In addition to the main groups, there are other groups in the House, such as the Banders, who spread rumors and gossip, and the Flyers, who are brave enough to gather food outside the House.

However, for the children themselves, it means much more than just a temporary place to live.
Location: The House is located on the outskirts of the city, among the new buildings. This area is known as "The Combs" due to the rows of white houses that resemble the teeth of a comb. Surrounding the high-rise buildings are vacant lots, which serve as the future "combs." The House is situated between the dilapidated and abandoned buildings of the same age and the new high-rise structures.
Appearance:The house is old, and its age is closer to the wastelands than to the graves of its peers. It is lonely—other houses avoid it—and it does not look like a crest because it does not rise upward. It has three floors, and its facade faces the highway. It also has a yard, a long rectangle enclosed by a chain-link fence. Once upon a time, it was white. Now, it is gray on the front and yellow on the inside, facing the yard. It is bristling with antennas and wires, crumbling with chalk, and weeping with cracks. It is surrounded by garages and outbuildings, trash cans, and dog kennels. All of this is visible from the yard. The facade is bare and gloomy, as it should be.
Inside the House: The House has three floors, which are occupied by classrooms, living quarters, recreation rooms, and more. The House is also connected to the "Graveyard," which is the hospital wing.
The House's students are divided into groups based on their living quarters. Each group has a teacher who oversees the children's activities and education. The teachers are supervised by the Headmaster, who is the de facto leader of the House. However, the Headmaster is not the actual leader of the House, and the teachers rarely pay attention to their students. The real power in the House is held by the leaders of each group. These leaders are the embodiment and, in a sense, the collective image of their respective groups. However, there is also a leader of the entire House, known as the Blind.

He holds authority over all the groups, and his words are respected by all the students,including girls.

The third(Birds) is one of the House groups. They call their room a Nest. They have a tender love for plants.
Behaviour
The pupils of the third can be compared in calmness with Pheasants, however, if Homer's wards behave diligently "because it is necessary", but at any moment they are ready to pounce on their own companion, then the Birds really do not pose a threat, unless the Vulture's order says so. They pay most of their attention to the numerous flowers that live in their room, and the rest of it falls on the leader. The vulture is more than just a leader for them.
It is for his sake that Birds wear eternal mourning. Mourning for Big Bird's(The Vulture) dead brother.

The Other Side is a mystical component of the House. It is an area that not everyone can enter. It is both astral and physically tangible. It has its own laws, and time flows differently there, following a pattern known only to it. People change in the Other Side. In the House, it is represented by the Forest, which is vast and accessible only at night. Not everyone can visit it, and some may not willingly enter. The House's residents are divided into Walkers and Jumpers based on this principle. There are no diseases, wheelchairs, or crutches on the inside, and the true essence of a person is revealed. Those who go there in their entirety, not just their minds, continue to feel everything physically, and if they die, they will die in the House.
For almost every person who enters the inside, it begins with an empty, broken highway and a gas station with a diner in the distance. At least, that's what those who have entered it have reported. Few people can go to the other side completely, but the Blind can, and he can take someone else with him.
The law about girls: Girls are not allowed to talk or see guys, and the same goes for guys. It's unclear who established this rule, but it's definitely not the management, but rather someone more powerful.
