for years by means of a monitoring device attached to the neck.

bright, but much more sadistic, and Valentine the older sister, also really intelligent, whose sweet
temperament is totally opposite to the one of Peter. The next morning, members of the Fleet
International (FI) come to the house to ask him why Ender hit Stilson even when he was already
on the ground. Ender answers you did so to scare them and make them understand that they had
