- Lone enters his shelter and discovers a naked infant with a dark face. She says "He-hee" happily and is unafraid.
- He finds the other twin eating one of his carrots. They teleport around. "What are you doing?" he asks one of the two, who is grinning at him. He thinks about how his eyes commanded a man (Mr. Kew) to kill himself and stays careful now, unsure why.
- He reaches for the twin to get her to stay still. She teleports away, and he feels respectful astonishment. He realizes he cannot catch these two. He resumes working on his shelter, annoyed that they, who are still watching, have been at his carrots. (Somebody really likes carrots...)
- He cooks potatoes. The twins, drooling, edge in and out of the doorway. He slams the door shut. His shelter seems very quiet now.
- Lone, while eating, sees a girl (Janie) knock on the open door. She jokes that she is passing by and stopping to visit. Lone doesn't find it funny and keeps eating as the twins reappear next to Janie.
- The three youths edge inside. Janie asks for food. Lone takes the pot away. She curses him, then she begs for food. He doesn't give them any. She walks out and the twins look at her, their provider, with disappointment.
- Lone remembers Mrs. Prodd feeding him and feels something he can't identify. He heads to the door and calls out, "Wait!"
