Story guide
Inside a cave, Chiikawa, Hachiware, Usagi, and Ode are captured by a group of Goblin. Carrying club-like objects, the Goblin bind the trio and Ode with rope- and basket-like restraints and try to carry them deeper inside. Chiikawa and the others have no opportunity to search for an escape route, and even Ode's large body is restrained. The situation abruptly reverses from one in which food lay before them to one in which they are under someone else's control. The Goblin offer no detailed explanation and continue the work of transporting their captives, so what they want remains unknown. Having the three small characters and the large Ode restrained alike creates the fear that a difference in size offers no safety.
Story guide
Chiikawa, Hachiware, Usagi, and Ode are made to wear black-and-white striped clothes and placed in a prison surrounded by stone walls. Ode sits with their large body while the three gather nearby and take in where they are. Ode shows that they know something about a mushroom they ate before, explaining that they were captured for eating a mushroom Goblin had valued. A large barred structure makes their confinement clear. Goblin's purpose and their treatment remain unknown, while the repeated stripes and stone walls create the pressure of a space much harder to leave than the cave of meals and conversation.
