Jorun stands at the edge of a half-timbered town on an Earth that has decayed into quiet farms and marble ruins, tasked with moving ten million people off a planet they refuse to leave. He is drawn to old Kormt, whose rooted certainty unsettles his own ancient, sophisticated detachment. The tension between the law forbidding coercion and the urgency of the evacuation shapes everything Jorun does in the story's opening.
