She does not play much with the other children in the underground city where they live. She is an outcast because of her sensitivity.The kids are jealous of Margot because she remembers the sun from her time on Earth. While the teacher is out of the room, a boy convinces the other children to lock Margot in the closet.The sun is actually about to come out after seven years of rain, and the teacher takes the children outside to experience it.
