패널 1: 밤. 로카는 주황색 튜브 안에서 터놓고 흐느끼며, 젖은 얼굴에 노란 오리를 꼭 누르고 있다. 패널 2: 검고 잔잔한 물 위로 별이 가득한 하늘. 그 모든 것의 한가운데 튜브 안에 로카가 작은 모습으로 보인다. 로카: '난 고맙다고 말한 적 없어.'

밤에 로카는 오리를 얼굴에 꼭 누른 채 흐느낀다. 그러고는 별이 가득한 하늘 아래 튜브 안의 작은 모습이 된다.
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.
