Kira wakes the next morning before dawn and goes to her garden to tend the flowers that her father has brought her. She ponders many questions, realizing that her mother was most likely poisoned in order to bring Kira under the protection of the Guardians. She assumes that similar fates befell Thomas' and Jo's parents, and in thinking of Jo, Kira remembers the thing that horrified her during the Ruin Song.
The metallic clanking Kira and Thomas heard during the ceremony was created by thick metal shackles that bound the ruined, bloody feet of the Singer. She then realizes why Thomas Jo and herself are kept in the Council of Edifice, they are the artists that are going to create the future. Because of this, Kira decides that she will stay but that Matt will guide her father back to the village at times and that one day she will take the journey and live with her father.
