Frank navigates a constructed urban environment that feels artificial and hostile, encountering violence and evading danger. He finds Maya Toitovna, a significant figure from his past, and they engage in a tense conversation that hints at unresolved issues and emotional distance, particularly regarding a past event on the Ares. The chapter explores themes of alienation, memory, and the contrast between natural and engineered environments.
