Chapter 16 Summary

Content Warning: This section of the guide contains descriptions of imprisonment, mass suicide, and murder.

The next day, Art goes off to see horses while Nate explores the compound. He still feels suspicious of this group and their motivations, as they seem a little unnaturally happy. Nate encounters Dolores, and after discussing Art, she tells him where he can find the laundry room. As Nate makes his way toward it, he spies a door locked with a padlock. He hears Peter speaking from behind another door, and when Peter hears Nate in turn, he opens the door and quizzes him about what he is doing there.

Nate tells Peter that Alex saved Art’s life by freeing her from the Mountain. Peter expresses skepticism, then tells Nate that he considers Art to be more like a god than a friend; he states that Nate has been tricked by the pleasant, curious, little-girl persona that the alien creature inside of her body is using. They begin to argue, with Nate telling Peter that he resembles the infamous cult leader and mass murderer Jim Jones with his tactics and his speechifying. Eventually, they reach an understanding, and Nate apologizes for his comments.
