Transcrição
Panel 1: Der Sonnenuntergang färbt das leere Meer rosa und golden. Roka sitzt schweigend im orangefarbenen Schwimmreifen und blickt auf die kleine gelbe Ente in seinen Händen hinab. Panel 2: Nahaufnahme seines Gesichts im Licht des Sonnenuntergangs: Tränen laufen ihm über die Wangen, während er die Zähne zusammenbeißt und versucht, nicht zu weinen.
Descrição da imagem
Bei Sonnenuntergang sitzt Roka schweigend im Schwimmreifen und starrt auf die gelbe Ente, dann weint er mit zusammengebissenen Zähnen.
Sobre este capítulo
In the dark at the bottom of the sea, something is counting. On Candyreef, a candy-coloured island of floating trash, Roka wakes to a water bag in the face from his street crew, lifts breakfast from the old woman who would have fed him anyway, and tells the kid who follows him that he doesn't owe anybody. Then the gulls lift all at once, and a Maw eats half the island. A day and a night alone at sea later, the Garden Ship fishes him out and orders him to walk its treadwheels for fish heads. Roka is nobody's slave, so he goes looking for something to steal instead, and breaks into a barnacled case dredged from the seabed. The silver dust inside climbs into his arm and says hello. It is polite. It is curious. It wants every human dead. And it has just started counting again.
