대본
Panel 1: Every gull on the island takes off at once in a storm of wings. Roka looks up, the fish slipping from his hand. Roka: 'The birds...' Panel 2: At the far-side market, Biber and Kabak stare up at the sky. Kabak: 'Biber...?' Panel 3: Beneath the island's dangling nets, a colossal pale shape rises from the deep, a honeycomb of hexagonal plates on its flank. Panel 4: Lahana stares down at the water bulging under her stall, her spear falling. Lahana: 'Get to the middle!' 'RUN!'

Every gull lifts at once; Biber and Kabak look up at the market; a colossal pale shape rises under the island; Lahana shouts to run.
이 챕터에 대해
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.
