The next day, Juliette and Warner are carefully polite to one another. He shows her how to access his private training area, where the Omega Point survivors will live, while he retrieves the group. He trains two to three times daily when he is uninjured, he reports, and says Juliette will begin training, as well. He expresses surprise that she is willingly staying with him, then quickly departs.
The Omega Point group (without James and Adam) arrive. Warner dispassionately informs them they will have access to food and showers, and tells them not to bother him with complaints. He instructs Kenji to give a list of medications to Delalieu. Kenji and Warner interact with stiff politeness. Warner leaves.
Kenji asks about the stiffness between Juliette and Warner, which Juliette unconvincingly denies. Kenji worries over the “drama” with Adam, who didn’t want the group to leave, and misses James. He tries to distract from his poor mood by pushing Juliette to talk about her fight with Warner again, but Juliette turns the conversation back on him and Kenji admits he hates how he keeps losing people. They hug, and Juliette vows not to forget about Kenji’s pain again.
