Line 54:
After a while more of walking, Em, Bishop, and a few other characters find a boar, which ends up leading them far away from the rest of the group. During the hunt, a group of boars end up killing and eating an injured girl named Latu, and Em finds an enormous room filled with trees, grass, and water. The group goes into the room and rests there for a while. Latu is buried, and everyone gets their energy back up.
While white boy Em and another girl, Bello, are in a remote part of the room, Bello is snatched and dragged away by humanoid monsters. Em and Bishop fight with the creatures, killing one; the other is revealed to be Em's creature counterpart. The group finds that they're right back where they began, and they've been walking in an enormous circle the entire time.
Em and a few other characters trace back to find a room they previously entered, which they believe may hold important information. A hologram appears; it resembles the monsters that took Bello in the forest room. It reveals that the monsters are actually rotting human beings who should've died a long time ago, and that they're on a spaceship flying away from a dying Earth toward a new planet. The children are told that they were created and grown in the coffins to be avatars for the creatures: receptacles for their consciousnesses, made to live on the new planet in place of the creatures, who can't breathe the new planet's air.
