- Sadima's in the habit of waking up at night, sneaking out, and running around outside. She imagines the world out there, such as the big city of Limòri far to the west.
- On her tenth birthday, she goes for a night run and sees a lone wolf cub, who she wrestles with for a while.
- The wolf's mother comes back, but senses that Sadima doesn't mean any harm. Sadima goes home, starts milking the goats, and doesn't tell Micah where she's been. The last time she told him the truth, he told Papa that she'd been lying.
