she once had is present in her son, Cain ("The Spark of Creation (Reprise 1)"). Cain, like his mother, longs to see the world. Cain complains to Abel that their parents won't let them see the world beyond the glen and that Adam and Eve seemingly let themselves get kicked out of Eden ("Lost in the Wilderness"). He begs Abel to leave to find the glen with him, as Father appears. Father shows his love and affection and promises the brothers their very own wives. Having never seen Father, they are shocked and assume that he has arrived to take them all back to the garden. However, it quickly becomes clear that Father has no intention of seeing their parents or taking any of them back to Eden. Cain, further embittered, packs his things, tells Father and Abel that he is going to go find his future out in the wasteland, and leaves the glen ("Lost in the Wilderness (Reprise)"). Father tells Abel to keep his visit secret from his parents, but that he will return to them. Adam and Eve, deeply worried about Cain's safety out in the Wasteland, find some comfort in the fact that they have been able to create a life and family for themselves outside of Eden ("Close to Home"), but this peacefulness is once again shattered when Cain, back from his journey, tells the family that he has found a ring of giant stones, seemingly providing evidence of other humans. Cain takes the family to see the stones in the wasteland, with Eve and Abel just as excited as Cain. Adam, however, admits to his family that he had seen the ring of stones and those who live there years before, but never told them as he was afraid of the potential consequences ("A Ring of Stones" and "Clash of the Generations"). Adam's betrayal quickly leads to a family-wide fight, culminating in Cain threatening to leave forever and taking Abel with him. Abel, fighting through his heartbreak, decides to stay with his parents. Cain, beginning to leave, is forcibly stopped by Adam, who slaps Cain, which sends him to the ground. Cain tells Adam that he will kill him and the two attempt to fight, but when Abel intervenes, he is thrown off Cain, who, in his rage, beats him to death with a stone ("The Death of Abel"). Cain leaves the remaining members
