Chapter 5

In the morning, as his family shares their dreams from the night before, Jonas, who normally does not have dreams, has something to tell. He explains a dream that involves a bathing room and the female Eleven, Fiona. In his dream, he wanted the girl to undress and get into the bath. His parents let him know that this was his first Stirring. His mother gives him a pill for treatment and tells that he will continue taking the pill until he goes to the House of the Old.
