Start: Father: When I was an Eleven, as you are, Jonas, there wasn’t the suspense there is for your Ceremony of Twelve. I was already fairly certain what assignment the Council of Elders was going to give me.
Jonas: How? It’s a secret�
Mother: Yes, how’d you know?

End: Mother: Good changes, though. After my ceremony, when I entered my training for Law and Justice, I found myself with new friends who shared my interests�
Jonas: Did you still play after Twelve?
Father: I still do! Every day in the Nurturing Center. Peek-a-Boo, Hug the Teddy. Fun doesn’t end when you become Twelve.
