### Summary
The search for a cure for Lita Ma's leviathan-inflicted mutation remains indefinitely stalled. Following a significant time skip that matured her brother Bota into a formidable warrior, the siblings and their guardian, the harpooner Kana, recently avenged their parents' deaths. This act of vengeance, however, has not progressed their primary mission. The narrative has pivoted to a new conspiracy within a settlement where a duplicitous chief is sacrificing refugees to a powerful, intelligent leviathan—suspected to be the same Sea Demon that killed their father. The focus on this immediate threat, coupled with a growing emphasis on interpersonal subplots like the developing romance between Sonia and Brune, has completely overshadowed the urgent search for Lita's cure. Lita's own role has diminished to the point of absence, reflected in reader sentiment, while the fate of a key scientist potentially vital to her recovery has become a point of concern, pushing the resolution to her condition into an ever-more distant future.
