Glotoneria

In this chapter, we learn that the "slider" has taught us how to escape from the forest. He tells us that the smell of rotting flesh and rotting bodies makes him want to run away, but that his grandmother will not allow him to do so. She tells him to grab her granddaughter and run away. When she sees a boy lying in the forest, she rushes to him and finds that his body is covered in blood. She asks him if he has any water, and he says that he does. She gives him her name and tells him that he is still sick.
