패널 1: 주근깨가 있고 민트색 단발머리에 병 밑바닥처럼 두꺼운 고글을 쓴 소녀 Nane가 밧줄을 타고 페인트칠된 선체를 따라 내려오며 손을 뻗는다. Nane: '이봐! 뗏목 쥐새끼!' '살아 있어?' 패널 2: 오렌지색 튜브에 탄 Roka가 정신이 몽롱한 채 고무 오리를 움켜쥐고 그녀를 올려다보며 눈을 가늘게 뜬다. Roka: '...여기가 정원이야?' 패널 3: Nane가 활짝 웃으며 작은 갈고리로 튜브를 건다. Nane: '그래, 꼬마야.' '정원에 온 걸 환영해.'

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.
