6 struggles to find allies to escape from the Village. 2 introduces 6 to his brother's family to convince him he belongs. As 6 begins to doubt himself, his brother admits to the façade and the pair make a failed attempt at escape. His brother drowns in the attempt—as 6's had many years ago—following an encounter with Rover, but 6 finds renewed faith.

He works with 909, who is spying on him. 6 follows 909 into the Go Inside bar, where he finds him meeting with his secret lover, 11–12.
