패널 1: 햇살 비치는 갑판에서 로카의 크롬 오른팔이 거대하고 빛나는 주먹으로 부풀어 올라 청록색과 마젠타빛이 터지는 가운데 판카르의 가슴을 강타한다. 로카는 판카르만큼이나 놀란 표정이다. 패널 2: 판카르는 뒤로 날아가 투르프와 부딪히고, 둘은 푸른 통 더미에 함께 처박힌다. 로카는 크롬 팔을 빛내며 갑판에 웅크린 자세로 착지한다.

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.
