Synopsis

The chapter opens with the discovery of a gazelle, sparking a debate about whether to prioritize the old and sick, or to simply take the meat for themselves. A character named Lakrak is initially dismissed as dying but then mysteriously produces a surplus of food that satisfies everyone, it is described as a 'revelation'. This act leads to the group recognizing a deity called the 'Nameless Beetle God'. The chapter concludes with someone (presumably an antagonist) acknowledging Lakrak as a key piece in their plans.
