Chapter 29 Summary

Cassia wakes at dawn to a human scream. Her family runs out the front door to see Ky’s aunt Aida screaming as Ky is escorted to a long-distance air train by Officials. Cassia runs as fast as she can towards them. When she’s close, she calls out to Ky. He calls out to her, and she can hear love and fear in his voice. Cassia realizes that Ky knew this was going to happen.

Cassia hears the titular line from the Dylan Thomas poem in her head—“Do not go gentle” (320). She runs to the side of the platform, and Ky twists away for a moment so they can clearly see each other. His eyes are bright and fierce. Cassia knows he’ll continue to fight and so will she. She points to the sky to indicate this and imply that she’ll always be with him. Ky mouths the words from the poem before an Officer finally grabs Cassia.

Cassia’s parents, along with Bram, Xander, and Xander’s parents, catch up to Cassia. Cassia’s father demands to know what’s happening; Xander’s father asks where the Officials are taking Ky. An Official claims Ky is being escorted to his new job.
