패널 1: Roka의 크롬 오른팔이 저절로 재킷 밖으로 튀어나와 Pancar의 팔을 움켜쥔다. Pancar: '어?' 패널 2: 크롬 손가락이 그의 손목을 으스러뜨리고, Pancar의 눈이 튀어나올 듯 커진다. Pancar: '으아악!' 패널 3: Roka가 난간 너머로 몸을 휘둘러 경비병들 사이의 갑판에 웅크린 채 착지하고, 빛나는 팔로 강철 바닥을 짚는다. Turp이 뒷걸음질 친다. Turp: '저게 대체 뭐야?!'

Roka의 크롬 팔이 저절로 튀어나와 Pancar의 손목을 으스러뜨린 뒤, 난간 너머로 Roka를 잡아당겨 갑판에 웅크린 채 착지하게 하고, Turp은 그 모습을 멍하니 바라본다.
About this chapter
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.
