Jonas escapes from the community with Gabriel, not long after search planes coming looking for him. They have heat seeking radars so every time they come he has to hold Garbriel and remember a snowing memory so they can have a cold body that isn't letting off much heat so the radar can't find them.
He developed a routine sleep in the day when planes aren't out searching, and bike at night. He became acustomed to this routine, and the farther he traveled the more colors and animals and life he was seeing it was amazing to him it had him struck how georgous the world was. How much more there was to just sameness.
What if the world was all the same and there was no feeling? I wonder if people would be able to make that kind of transition out of this world and into that world.
