Everything comes full circle.

The village's membrane is breached and chaos floods in through the gaps; as attackers enter from without, aid comes from within.

Faputa can help Reg save Nanachi, but everything has a price: in exchange, Reg must help her enter the village.

They had their reasons for descending into that infernal pit, finding damnation and salvation in equal measure.

The truth about the expedition is more tragic and horrifying than anyone could have imagined.

Riko is told she must sell one of her body parts to get her friend, Nanachi back from Belaf: Pruska's power is discovered.

The children begin uncovering the village's secrets while searching for each other; Reg is attacked by a snail dragon while on the sixth floor alone.

Reg cannot remember Faputa anymore; Nanachi is stunned by unexpected news.

Riko, without possibly knowing the consequences of her words, sealed the villager's fate as soon as she acknowledged Meinya was priceless; the Balancing begins.

Riko, Reg and Nanachi take their first steps into the sixth layer; both wonders and dangers await the trio, but they are unaware they are being watched.
