Hannah has finished eating and is staring out to sea.
"Is something wrong, Hannah?
Jin asked Hannah.

Jin asked Reiko, who had the best eyesight of the group.

Upon closer inspection, it seems that the monument is not facing straight to the sea.
It is facing about 10 degrees to the north, and in that direction is the island we have just found.
I see, Hanna is right. It is possible that Shuki Tsetsi's records are kept on that island.

Edgar and Aal check the island by circling it clockwise and counterclockwise, respectively.
The island is a small island with an irregular circular shape and a circumference of about 3 km.
