In this chapter, we learn that roni has barely eaten anything, and that he's too shy to eat. He's also got a tummy full of food, which is why he doesn't seem to be eating very well. He tells everyone that he just took the fishes that she threw to him, and it tastes really good. They need to sleep in tents in the forest to keep warm during the winter, he tells them. He also tells them that the winter on the island is warmer than usual, so there's still some fireflies out in the bushes. He asks if they're going to sleep next to each other, and they both refuse to do so, saying that they don't want to sleep with each other. They're not even in the same sleeping bag, they say. They wonder if someone's coming to get them, but they can't figure out who it is.
