I peek inside and see Cleo, standing with the blankets pulled around her, her clothes thrown across the floor. Alex is cowering behind her, in his boxers. Cleo's father is red with anger. It's strange to see an Abnegation that emotional and out spoken.
He clenches his teeth, "Cleo Rhodes, get your clothes on now. Did I come all the way here to be embarrassed?!''
She interrupts, "Why did--"
He cuts her off, "I don't even know why I came! I'm so embarrassed by you! God, Cleo! Bye!" He turns and stalks towards the door. I start to walk down the hall. The man's footsteps get louder as he approaches me.
He speaks timidly, "Excuse me, Miss? Can you take me to the exit? I really need to go."
I turn to him, "Sure. Follow me." I turn around and stalk to the exit. We reach the exit.

I point to the stairs, "Go up those and then you'll see the exit." He thanks me and leaves. I walk back to the edge of the Chasm. I think of my mother, her thin, deft hands moving quickly, cutting my hair. I remember peaking up at the mirror and seeing her smile at me. I smile and stare at the rocks. A feminine voice cuts over the conversations in the Compound. I turn around and see her, my mother.
