Todd realizes that the road Manchee led him too is the same route he was supposed to take with Viola on their way to Haven. Todd and Manchee hear Noise from a group of huts and Todd decides to continue moving when he hears “Prentisstown” in the men’s Noise. The women in this area have no Noise. Todd begins to feel sick and weak so uses medication from Viola’s bag. He comes across an edible turtle, but he does not want to use his knife to kill it. His body is exhausted, and as a result, he falls down a hill. He passes out from the fall but Wilf wakes him up, calling him “Ben.”
