[[Morriumur]] asks [[Spensa]] if they're really worth training, as the current draft of themself might be wiped soon, to which Spensa responds yes, that they are improving rapidly as a pilot. The two continue discussing Morriumur's parents, and Morriumur tells Spensa they wantswant to show her a park in the city. On their way, Morriumur tells Spensa they overheard her and [[Hesho]]'s conversation earlier aboard the ''[[Weights and Measures]]'' and argues that although there are flaws to the [[Superiority]], just as their are in every government, it has provided good lives for millions of beings through the monopolization of [[cytonics|cytonic]] hyperdrives. They finally arrive at the park, where Spensa sees globs of water floating in the air with smaller globs floating around the park, with hundreds of children splashing around and throwing water at each other. Once a clock on a nearby wall reaches a certain point, all the water in the park rains down on the children, leaving them squealing with delight. It is at this point that Spensa lets her guard down for the first time since arriving, realizing the Superiority isn't some grand façade, that its citizens truly are happy, they're just average everyday beings, just like her and the people of [[Detritus]]. Spensa tells Morriumur of the stories [[Becca Nightshade|her grandmother]] told her, saying they are from the cadamique, the [[UrDail]] holy book; stories of warriors who went off to war and succeeded, but came back different and unable to adapt to the society they had fought so hard to protect. Spensa tells Morriumur the Superiority needs different people like them and her. They head back to the embassy, and Morriumur sees [[Doomslug]] and immediately becomes aggressive, telling Spensa she needs to get rid of the [[taynix]]. Spensa tells them it is a very similar-looking species, and Morriumur tells her they won't report her. They leave, and M-Bot tells Spensa she needs to see the news. She turns on a monitor on the wall to a news station that shows an image of Detritus and exclaims that the humans are close to escaping.
