Grace Field House

''This article is about the Manga version of the Grace Field House. For alternate pages referred to by this name, please click any of the icons above.''

The Grace Field House (ハウス) is a symmetrical flat-hexagonal complex used to raise children as livestock for the demons. It is unique, being one of the four known Premium Farms. It is operated by a female human known as Grandma as well as her underlings known as Sisters and Mamas, who also double as caretakers for said children.

It consisted of five plantation, a headquarters and a central area that connects the plantations and Headquarters together. It is formed in a hexagonal shape. After the fire and destruction of plantation 3, Grace Field House only consists of active four plantations.

The entire complex is surrounded by tall concrete walls. Beyond the walls lies a deep cliff. Both act as security measures to prevent the children inside from escaping. The only known practical way to leave the complex is by using bridges that connect the Headquarters to the outside world.undefined

History

 * Main article: Demon World

Grace Field House, similar to every other plantation, was built in order to keep children as livestock for the demons to consume. Following the Demons and the Ratri Clan's promise to not hunt each other, the humans who fled from the demon world to the human world gave some of their children as a parting gift. Said children were later kept in plantations. Grace Field is regarded as the top Premium Farm with the hardest litany tests. In comparison to other Factory Farms, Grace Field House is a Premium Farm, which means that it's a farm that is solely made for the premium or high-end farming of human meat. The children at the premium farms are all valuable goods and are very well cared for to maintain their quality. Grace Field House is described as a "false paradise" as the plantations are designed to make the children's brains develop as much as possible by providing the them with everything they need to be happy and comfortable with minimal stress. The children are served gourmet food, sleep in plush beds, and are even permitted to celebrate their birthdays and holidays such as Christmas. All of the humans at Grace Field (both adults and children) are identified by a 5 digit ID number tattooed onto their necks. Grace Field is also the smallest Premium Farm, being made up of a single building on each plantation. The other Premium Farms are made up of several buildings and have the appearance of villages. Babies born at Grace Field are taken away from their mothers at birth and are sent to live in a nursery at headquarters for their first year of life, being cared for by the sisters. At one year old, the babies are divided into groups of five and sent to live on one of the five adjacent plantations where they remain until they are shipped out to be killed. All of the children at Grace Field wear the same uniform everyday which consists of a plain white long sleeved button-up shirt, a plain white skirt or pants, and brown boots. Their pajamas are the same as their uniform, but with plain white slippers. In the winter, the children are given a plain white sweater and scarf to wear over their uniform. The children are led to believe that they are orphans living at a happy orphanage and that when they are "shipped out" they are being sent to live with foster families.

Building
The Grace Field House is a European-styled home, standing three stories tall with blue roofs and light orange walls. Asides from basic electricity, plumbing, the radio the mother uses to contact headquarters, and the high tech devices the children take their tests on, Grace Field House is void of modern technology. There are no TVs or electronic toys, and what little technology they do have is said to be older models. Laundry is done outside in a tub with a washboard and then hung on a clothesline near the house to dry. There is a dormant old well near the house, likely used for getting water before plumbing was invented. Inside the house consists of a cafeteria, a test room/classroom, several bathrooms, an infirmary, a library, a playroom, a music room, several storage rooms, the mother's bedroom which connects to her office and contains 9 cribs for the 1-2 year olds, three children's bedrooms for the 3-11 year olds each containing 10-11 beds, and extra (usually vacant) bedrooms for sisters.

Secret room
A room hidden from the orphans, located within the adjacent walls of the orphans' bedrooms and behind a bookshelf in the mother's office serves as a room for the caretaker to contact and report in to headquarters. The room is also used to hide the toys and belongings that former orphans took with them when they were shipped out.

Layout
Located in the middle of the Demon Forest in the demon world, Grace Field is a large hexagonal complex divided into five plantation farms each containing a single house, with the sixth area being a building known as headquarters. The area surrounding the perimeter of the complex is a large deep cliff. Surrounding each of the five plantations is a large concrete wall and a short fence further inside. A vast, grassy field surrounds each house which reaches out to a small forest where the children play. A gate which serves as the entrance to each plantation from headquarters is located on the center north point of each house. There is only one bridge over the cliff leading in and out of Grace Field, which is located at headquarters.

Litany Tests
These tests are given daily in order to polish the brains of the children. The orphans in Grace Field have to sit through daily tests, which will make them more academically/mentally inclined. The highest score an orphan can get is 300. The shipping order of all the children is based on how high they score on the IQ test, with the lowest scoring children being shipped out first.

Grace Field is regarded as the top Premium Farm with the hardest litany tests. The tests in Grace Field House focus on information analysis. Problems are distributed according to age group. Taking of tests starts at 4 years old, those who are below 4 years are playing in a nearby room. All the children (except those that scored full marks) are given homework, as shown in the extra pages of Volume 3 of the manga.

Transmitters

 * Main article: Transmitters

Transmitters are microscopic crawlers that are stapled into the ears of all the orphans in the Grace Field House. Their true form is unknown because they are not externally visible. The use of these transmitters help a caretaker to track down the whereabouts of an orphan via a radar.

A disadvantage of a transmitter is that it would be useless if the host is near the gate or the wall which surrounds an orphanage, as it would eventually lose its signal.

The transmitter will also be useless if the device – invented by Ray – is applied onto the ear of an orphan which contains the transmitter, as the device could cripple the transmitters and render them useless. It was crafted by Ray using parts of an instant camera, an old video game console, an iPod and other gifts which he received from Isabella for being obedient to her as her spy.

Radar

 * Main article: Radar

The radar is a small, technological device used by the caretakers in the Premium Farms. The radar can locate orphans who have the transmitters implemented into their body, specifically the back of their left ear. All of the children at Grace Field have a transmitter implanted in their body shortly before they are sent to live on one of the plantations in order to help the Mama locate them at all times. The radars are designed to be light and durable for the caretakers to carry around. They take the appearance of pocket watches.



Shipments
Children are shipped out of Grace Field between the ages of 6 and 12. Age also determines the rank of their quality, with 6 being the lowest and the normal quality and 12 being the highest. Test scores determine the shipment date orders because of the size of their brains. The more developed brain, the better, thus qualifying as the highest rank. Normally a child is shipped out of each plant roughly once every 2 months. But every now and then a shipment happens much earlier than planned, as seen with Norman who was shipped one month after Conny, and Susan who was shipped only one week after Jimmy.

The test scores determine the shipment date orders. After the children reach the age of 6, the ones with the lowest scores will be shipped out first. This allows the most intelligent children who show the most potential to continue to developed to increase their quality, while weeding out the weaker, less intelligent children who are not showing much potential. Those who have full scores will be shipped out no matter what once they turn 12. If a child lives to the age of 12, they are shipped on their 12th birthday. Grace Field has the youngest maximum shipment age of all the Premium Farms.

Appointing Girls as Caretakers
Girls who live to the age of 12 and clear a set of successful requirements are given two options when they are shipped out: One is to be killed and the other is train to become a Sister or Mama. One must have full scores on their tests and a recommendation from their own Mama in order to be given this option. However, as seen in the bonus chapter Seeking the Sky of Freedom, most sister trainees are "rejected" (killed) during their training. Very few girls training to become Sisters actually get the position, and even fewer get to become Mamas.

Microchips
Microchips are embedded into the young girls who are willing to become caretakers. They are embedded in their hearts and are programmed to send an electric shock to their hearts if they take a step outside of their grounds. They are also programmed to send an alert to the higher-ups if the heart stops on its own for varying reasons.

Trivia

 * In William Minerva's Promised Pen, the location of the Grace Field House is 00-00.
 * It is possible that the ID numbers on the children's necks are allocated serially and are meant to be read from right to left
 * Isabella is the oldest known orphan from Grace Field and has the ID 73584 (48537). Krone is the next oldest and has the ID 18684 (48681). Emma, Norman and Ray are the same age and have IDs 63194 (49136), 22194 (49122) and 81194 (49118) respectively. From this, it can be deduced that Ray is the eldest, followed by Norman and Emma.
 * Isabella and Krone have an age gap of 5 years (2014 vs 2019) and their IDs are 150 digits apart. This suggests that Grace Field harvests 30 children annually; each house harvests 6 children annually, or one every 2 months. This is consistent with the "adoption" of a child every two months. Extrapolating further, Grace Field would've been in operation for about 1,638 years when Emma was born.
 * In 2019, the Yakusoku no Neverland website ran an April Fools joke that a real life Grace Field Nursery would open, accepting enrollment applications for children ages 1 to 12.
