Florian, an azi, arrives late for a new Assignment in Security and is unexpectedly partnered with Catlin, a female azi who seems familiar to him from tape. As they prepare for their training Room, Florian struggles with the new rules, his unfamiliarity with the environment, and the unsettling realization that Catlin is important to him in ways he does not yet understand. The chapter explores their tentative partnership, the dangers of their training, and Florian's internal conflict about his role and identity.
