The suit's visor had been masking reality with a computer-generated image. However, he is forced to remove his helmet when he runs out of air, and at that point, he discovers that the world is actually toxic and his wife truly is dead. Encouraged by this sight, he happily cleans the Silo's external sensors and then explores the environment. He is given a protective suit and sent outside, but when he exits the Silo, he sees a healthy, vibrant world.

Still grieving the loss of his wife, Holston also asks to go outside. She went to clean willingly, but apparently perished. Three years ago, Holston's wife Allison became convinced that the outside world was livable and that the IT department, which runs the external sensors, had deceived the rest of the Silo. Wool is the first act of the series, and consists of books 1 through 5: Holston, Proper Gauge, Casting Off, The Unraveling, and The Stranded. Those sent outdoors invariably clean the sensors as instructed, but die within minutes, reaffirming to the Silo residents that the outside is uninhabitable. All residents of the Silo are taught that the outside world is toxic and deadly, and the Silo's cardinal rule is that anyone who expresses a desire to go outside must be sent there to clean the external sensors with a wool cloth. No records of the time before the Silo remain. Humanity clings to survival in the Silo, a self-sustaining subterranean city with 144 floors. The story of Wool takes place on a post-apocalyptic Earth.
