While Cia is currently a pawn as a candidate, her father and other adults she meets are hoping that Cia can help change the way the rigid government works. Cia tries to control the forces that are controlling her. Cia grows careful of the cameras, making sure to have conversations with Michal out of sight, or to perform when she has no choice but to be observed. She deduces the officials must have been watching when Ryme kills herself, but did nothing to intervene. She keeps a close eye out for other cameras and observes how the Testing officials watch and judge the candidates at all times. From the first time that Cia enters the bus to Tosu City, she notices a hidden camera.
