In the woods, Cassia makes quick progress, using the fitness she’s acquired from her personal exercise to navigate the brush and trees with relative ease. He tells them that they will be climbing one of the Arboretum’s smaller, less wild hills, not the big Hill, and sends them off to hike it without additional instruction, to Cassia’s surprise. The Officer in charge then comes, and though he reminds Cassia of her grandfather aesthetically, his demeanor is very harsh, even shutting up the loose-lipped Lon.
Cassia is delighted when Ky appears, having signed up for hiking as well. She chats first with a stranger, and then with an annoying boy named Lon, who crassly asks about her dead grandfather. Two days after seeing the showing, Cassia is at the Arboretum with a group of students, waiting to begin hiking.
