After the Giver shows Jonas a video of his father releasing a newborn infant, Jonas becomes extremely disturbed and refuses to go home to spend time with his family. The Giver takes some time to settle Jonas and explains to him that the citizens do not truly understand what they are doing. Their lack of feelings and emotions, and their limited perspective, prevent them from comprehending the fact that they are murdering innocent people. The Giver then tells Jonas that he has been thinking of a way to change the community for the better and finally has a plan. Jonas initially says that he will agree to follow the Giver's plan but wants the Giver to travel with him to Elsewhere. Jonas essentially wants the Giver to be his guardian/companion and leave the community behind for the citizens to fend for themselves. Jonas admires and respects the Giver, and has developed a close friendship with him over the course of their sessions. He does not want the Giver to stay behind and wishes that he would travel with him to Elsewhere and remain his companion and guardian.
