Solomon had been quiet, and had not uttered a single word to the other five students while he had traveled on a bus. There were in total only six of them, so it was hardly a crowd. The bus came to a halt, whereupon they all departed. The only thing on Solomon's mind was his sister, and how he needed to find her, and how hopeless the journey had been so far, but that he would never capitulate. He was the last of the six to exit the bus.

His name was called out by a human adult, in the middle of five others. Solomon assumed it was the others who had left the bus. He made his way over to the man. Solomon was told to follow, and he obeyed without aberrance.
