Transcripción
Roka는 강철 바닥에 널브러져 오른팔을 몸에서 멀리 떼고 있다. 팔꿈치 아래부터 손끝까지 기름막처럼 빛나는 윤기를 띤 검은 크롬으로 변해 있고, 청록색과 자홍색 선들이 빛난다. 손등에는 청록색 홍채를 지닌 둥근 눈 하나가 떠 있다.

Roka는 오른쪽 팔뚝이 빛나는 선들과 손등의 눈이 있는 검은 크롬으로 변한 채 공포에 질려 바닥에 앉아 있다.
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.
