The hanging square is a burned garden in Harbor Bay where Mare, Cal, and Farley find several dead members of the Red Watch, the Red civilian police force. The Red Watch members were killed by Silvers and left to hang publicly. The hanging bodies symbolize Silver’s complete dominance over the Reds, who are killed for their attempts to better their own communities and protect themselves.
