반짝이는 청록색 바다 위로 Candyreef가 떠 있다. 분홍색, 청록색, 노란색 플라스틱 상자와 방수포로 이루어진 마을이며, 병으로 만든 다리로 작은 뗏목들과 연결되어 있다. 갈매기들이 흩어진다. 섬 가장자리에서 외침이 솟아오른다: 'BIBER!!'

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.
