Convinced that Lyza’s message is addressed to her, Riko announces that she will descend to the bottom of the Abyss. Nat objects because the deeper layers make return impossible, and their argument ends with both children distressed. During Reg’s first official cave raid, he confirms that ascending does not affect him with the Curse and becomes increasingly determined to learn what he is. He chooses to accompany Riko without being asked, promising to protect her while seeking answers about his own origin. Shiggy supplies a stolen rough map and explains the known layers, their hazards, and the point beyond which messages from ordinary raiders are dismissed as unreliable. Nat harshly suggests that Lyza is already dead, but later regrets it. Before dawn, Riko and Reg prepare to escape the orphanage. Reg says farewell to the sickly Kiyui and misdirects Jiruo, while Nat returns to apologize and guides the group through the wharf district’s hidden entrance. Nat remains opposed to the journey yet accepts that Riko will go. After emotional farewells and promises to send mail balloons, Riko and Reg lower themselves into the Abyss and begin their irreversible expedition.
