so i was thinking about maccready last night, which lead me to think about little lamplight. where do the kids come from? like sure i guess some of the older residents could have kids, then leave them when they arent allowed in lamplight anymore, but would that keep the population that high? its 200 years of kids, up to 16-18(?). the only other concepts i can imagine is that its known somewhat so people might abandon their kids/kids might escape to lamplight. or the people in bigtown have kids and then leave them in lamplight?
also, is there any explanation who duncan is with in fo4? because it dawned on me that maccready couldve just...left duncan in little lamplight. he doesnt strike me as someone with extended family or lots of friends. maybe after the lw helps bigtown it becomes an actual settlement and he stays there?
