With Norman’s shipment scheduled for the following day, Emma and Ray search desperately for a way to save him. Ray proposes disabling Norman’s transmitter and staging an escape, allowing him to hide somewhere on the plantation until the others are ready. Norman initially refuses because a missing child would trigger tighter security and might cause Isabella to ship Emma or Ray instead. Emma suggests damaging Norman’s body so the farm will reject him as merchandise, and their combined pressure eventually makes him accept the escape attempt. During their discussion, Ray reveals why he has understood the House for so long: unlike most people, he retains memories from infancy. He remembers being transported through the demons’ headquarters and entering Grace Field House through the gate. On the day of his scheduled shipment, Norman receives the transmitter-breaking device and heads into the forest. Rather than disappearing, he climbs the wall to survey the outside. He returns to the House before evening, shocking Emma and Ray. Norman reports that the wall does not border ordinary ground. A broad, deep chasm surrounds the plantation, separating the children from the distant forest and making a simple climb over the wall impossible.
