Juliette walks through Sector 45, thinking of how she hopes to resurrect pre-Reestablishment ways of life. Kenji counters that “the way things used to be wasn’t much better than the way they are now” (61). He explains the racism in his community and how his parents were killed via gun violence. He remembers his family fondly despite the pain of telling this story.

Juliette returns to headquarters, where the former Omega Point residents are happy about the near completion of living spaces. Ian, one member of the group without superpowers, laments that getting permanent living spaces “feels like tempting fate” (66). Juliette insists they are safe, though she is not entirely confident in her words. She credits the new living space to Warner.

Delalieu reports that Haider Ibrahim, “son of the supreme commander of Asia” (68), has arrived and insists on speaking only to Juliette. Juliette agrees to see Haider immediately, despite Castle’s urging that she wait for Warner. Kenji accompanies her to the meeting.
