In this final scene of the novel, we meet the young protagonist, who has just returned from a tour of farm 21, and who is now free. He tells us that he is going to the scrapyard to work on a project he has been working on. The project is to construct a tower that will allow people to come and go freely between the two parts of the city. The protagonist explains that he has come up with the name of the tower because he thinks it will make it easier for people to cross the city's surface without being caught in the middle. He says that if the director of the film finds out about the project, he will "do more than fire" him. He adds that he will go to the west to find a fishing village where he will be able to see the figure of four again.
