William locks Margot in the closet because the sun is coming out and he does not want her to see it.

The problem between Margot and the other kids is that she is from Earth and they have lived on Venus for all of their lives. They are jealous of Margot because she has seen the sun, and they do not remember the last time it came out when they were toddlers. Margot also does not relate well to any of the kids from Venus.

The appearance of the sun brings out the worst in the kids. They are very excited because the sun only comes out once every seven years.
