In a field by a lake so big it looks like an ocean, a short blind girl is very close to finding a coffin.

Up at the camp, Mel is sitting with her back against a rock tent, playing Otterpenguin with an increasingly sleepy Hana. Loo, dozing fitfully, is curled up against her mother's leg, which she's holding onto like a teddy bear.

It looks like a loving, peaceful family scene, especially to see the smiles on the faces that are still awake. But it's pretty low energy for the usual standards of this three.

This was a city, once. Now, it's not just been flattened by who knows what, who knows when, but it's also mostly underwater, five feet down on average, deeper in places. The only way one could identify it as a city is the somewhat regular patterns of water around algae-covered islands that were once blocks of buildings. Fording has been possible, but only over areas that were once roads.

After a while, however, Zheng pulls his horse up, looking out over the devastation, towards what looks like ocean.

"I don't think we can go any further."
