Prologue

Prologue begins as Kai says goodbye to her mother on the dock, getting ready to leave for Mutazione. She boards Graubert's boat, rereading the letter Mori sent that brought Kai on this journey in the first place. Graubert calls over, and they have an offputting conversation. Kai leaves to the outer deck to avoid him, and as she takes in the scenery the credits roll.

The boat ride is long, and when she naps on a bench she dreams of Karoo, though she doesn't yet know his name or his origins. He gives her ominous warnings and urges her to hurry.

When she arrives on the island she meets Mori, who shows her to Nonno's home. Kai speaks with Nonno until he's too exhausted to continue.

The Prologue ends on Monday at midday as Kai leaves Nonno's House to meet the rest of the islanders.
