Transcripción

パネル1:階段の上から、ロカは車輪の広間を見下ろす。やせ衰えた労働者たちが、オレンジ色のランプの光の中、巨大な踏み車を二つ回して歩いている。 パネル2:アップ。労働者の裸の足首が、短いロープで手すりに縛りつけられている。 パネル3:ロカは拳にアヒルを握りしめ、怒りに顔を燃え上がらせている。ロカ:「動物みたいに縛られて……」「……魚の頭のために、ぐるぐる歩き回る。」 パネル4:ロカは広間に背を向け、暗い通路へ歩み去る。ロカ:「俺は違う。」「誰の奴隷にもならない。」「今までどおり、自分のやり方で食っていく。」

Acerca de 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.
