Sarasa never comes back. The children find her dismembered in a hanging bag in Uga Forest, staged with a note and filmed by her killers. Over her embalmed body Machi meets the Nen user Renko; over her grave Chrollo lays out the plan — build a criminal haven, lure the culprits back through the coming communication revolution, and live as a villain the world shudders at. Uvogin names him head, and the Spider is born.
