The Darkest Minds

Ruby takes a shower in the motel, and she goes through the backpack the League gave her. Inside, she finds a red dress Zu took for her from the RV park, as well as toiletries and a panic button for calling League agents. Ruby almost destroys the panic button, but she decides to keep it just in case they need it as a last resort. She tries to shave her legs for the first time and becomes upset thinking about her mother. Liam knocks on the door and nervously offers her socks, and Ruby realizes he knew she wasn’t okay.

That night, while sharing a bed with Zu, Ruby accidentally brushes her foot and enters her dream. Zu dreams about escaping from Caledonia. In her dream, the kids exit the camp building, an old school, because of a false fire alarm, and Zu tries unsuccessfully to reach a girl she knows on the way out. Once outside in the snow, the kids start running, but then PSFs start shooting them. Many die. Zu reaches a gate in the fence on the edge of the camp with a booth beside it; inside the booth are Liam and Chubs, trying to turn off the electric fence.
