Nailer and Pima jump back in surprise when they realize that the girl is still alive. The girl is buried under junk and is barley able to whisper. Pima and Nailer have to contemplate whether to kill the girl and take all her possessions to become wealthy or to save the girls life and hope it does not ruin their chances at becoming rich. Pima is about to kill the girl when Nailer decides that he wants to save her life. Reluctantly Pima gives in and helps Nailer take the junk off the girls mangled body.
They scavenge through the ship and collect food and take it to shore. Pima carries the girl to shore since Nailer is still injured. The tide comes into shore and makes it impossible for them so head back to the beach where they work. Around a fire Pima helps give water and food to the girl. Eventually the girl begins to talk to Pima and Nailer and they begin to realize how rich the girl actually was. It was incomparable to anybody they new and blew their minds. Nailer and Pima tell the girl that when people come to rescue her, she has to agree to get them away from the land they grew up on and find a better life.
The wealth that the girl has is completely ridiculous and it might be even better that they kept the girl alive instead of dead. They might be able to use bribery to get enough money to be rich for the rest of their lives. Nailer really wants to get away from the life he has now so I fully believe that he will try to leave with the girl once people come to find her. Maybe they will even become attracted to each other and live together forever. I say this because Pima has been teasing Nailer about him finding a girl he could have an interest in.
