Rout let Fritz and Newt read what was written on the paper before he crumpled and threw it in the wooden trash bin. It was Newt's turn to ask. He wrote down his question and gave the pen and the piece of paper to Amara.

If outsiders know of the secrets, they won't go out at night and just stay inside their house since the demi-human kids do not attack people if they are inside their homes. It is also one of the rules."
