Seeker Camp is the thirteenth chapter of the Made in Abyss manga series.
Synopsis[]
Reg and Riko ride the gondola up to the Seeker Camp, where Ozen greets them. Riko introduces herself and promptly vomits, due to The Curse of the Abyss. Ozen notes that while the effects are lighter in the camp, they are still difficult for children. Ozen already seems familiar with Riko and Reg.
Ozen examines Lyza's White Whistle and confirms her own identity. Riko immediately thanks Ozen for helping to carry her in the Curse-Warding Box. Ozen coldly admits that she considered abandoning Riko, in favor of securing the Unheard Bell instead. Ozen notes that as a Red Whistle Delver, Riko should not even be there. Riko explains that she's making her journey because her mother called for her. She shows Ozen the message from Lyza's Letter and offers to leave once she has learned about her mother. In response, Ozen orders her apprentice, a child named Marulk, to hear their story in her place, and will speak to them the next day. Marulk gives Blue Whistles to Riko and Reg. Ozen says this is to prevent anyone from questioning why Red Whistles are in the 2nd Layer. She holds on to Lyza's whistle, as collateral.
Marulk guides Riko and Reg through the camp and tells them of its history. Marulk and Reg manage to find some common ground, and Marulk shares his history: Ozen saved him and made him her apprentice, so that he wouldn't have to return to the surface, as he is sensitive to light. Riko guesses that despite Ozen's cold exterior, she is a good master. Marulk agrees, and invites Riko and Reg to stay at the Seeker Camp so he can spend more time with them, as there is no one else around their age. Riko reluctantly refuses, because she is concerned about her mother. Marulk happily replies that in that case, they should do all their talking now.

Referbacks[]
- Leader stated in Chapter 5 that Lyza's decision to abandon the Unheard Bell in favor of saving Riko was not an obvious choice just because she was Riko's mother, given how incredibly valuable such an artifact was. Ozen echoes this by plainly stating she considered leaving Riko behind and taking the Bell instead.
