apparently, people in the future don't write at all. they can't. the society trains them for one specific purpose each so if they ever decide that they want to rebel or want to escape, they don't know how to survive on their own because they only know how to do one thing and they have only been trained to do that one thing all of their life. because writing has basically been prohibited, they only use like touch screens now to send messages and do whatever they need to do but for some reason Ky knows hoe to write in the "ancient" writing technique of cursive which cassia thinks is absolutely extraordinary. Ky begins teaching her how to write her name in the dirt during their assigned summer hiking activity which they both excel at. It is here in the forest where cassia reads her illegal poems away from society and where Ky gives her some poems of his own which he has written just for her to tell his story on how he cam to be in this strange society and why he isn't in the outer provinces where he belongs.
Xander and cassia also have their first "outing" after their match. unfortunately, because it is protocol, they have to be accompanied by an official which is extremely awkward for the both of them because they have been friends for so long and have gone out by themselves so many times.
After cassia lends her artifacts to one of her friends fir her match banquet something happens and then all the artifacts all over have to be taken away which is really depressing. the artifacts are the last ties to the past and the one thing that cassia holds very dear to her heart.
