When the Kaiju came, Indiana was safe. It was one of those cosmic jokes played on the coasts; make fun of the flyover states long enough and suddenly they're the only place people can go about their lives without fearing any day might be ruined by fuckoff big monsters that really want to kill you and the only slightly less fuckoff big Jaegers that might kill you in the cross fire anyway.

Indiana was safe, but the world being flipped on its head flips housing costs too, and before Eddie could say, "You can't do this to us," the lot rent in Forest Hills went sky high and machining moved to the coasts, and he and Wayne went with it.
