패널 1: 로카가 주황색 튜브를 붙잡은 채 물 위로 솟구치며 비명을 지른다. 멀리 섬의 작은 조각 하나가 떠내려간다. 로카: '밤야!' '그랜니!' 패널 2: 침묵. 로카는 잔잔하고 탁 트인 바다에 홀로 떠 있다. 납작해진 병뚜껑들을 줄로 엮은 비버의 목걸이가 그를 스쳐 떠가고, 밤야의 작은 노란 장난감 오리가 그를 향해 둥실둥실 다가온다.
圖片說明
로카는 밤야와 그랜니를 부르짖으며 물 위로 떠오른다. 그런 다음 잔잔한 바다에 홀로 남아 병뚜껑 한 줄과 노란 오리가 자신을 향해 떠오는 것을 바라본다.
關於本章
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.
