第1格：Nane是个满脸雀斑的女孩，留着薄荷绿的波波头，戴着厚底瓶片眼镜。她顺着绳子从涂漆的船身上荡下来，伸手去够。Nane：「嘿！木筏小子！」「你还活着吗？」 第2格：Roka昏昏沉沉、半醒半睡地待在橙色漂浮圈里，眯眼仰望她，紧紧抱着鸭子。Roka：「……这里是花园吗？」 第3格：Nane咧嘴一笑，用一把小抓钩勾住漂浮圈。Nane：「没错，小子。」「欢迎来到花园。」

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.
