  1. Lina sometimes ride down to the Pioneer Hotel to see Doon. He always seem glad to see her, but it isn't the same as it had been back in Ember, when they was involved in the desperate search for a way out of their doomed city. Doon show her around the Pioneer, and he tells her about the work he does and the people he eats his lunch with. But he seem distracted, or troubled, as if he was trying to solve a problem he weren't telling her about.
  2. Doon and Lina was not sure anyone from Ember would follow them. Would they believe that there were a way out of Ember? That there were another world? That they had been living in a cave? But the people came. Not all of them but many. Doon counted 417 people from Ember as they set off in search of civilization. When the reached the town of Sparks, they couldn't believe their eyes. The city seemed primitive in comparison to Ember. There were no electricity or technology of any kind. But the people of Sparks reluctantly welcomed the travelers and opened their homes to them. But the relationship was strained. The town were small and had limited supplies. Taking in 417 people meant less for everyone. As the summer passed, the people of Sparks began to resent having to share with others. And the people of Ember resented having less than their hosts. Will these two towns find a way to work together? Or will ages-old resentments bring hostility?
