Revision as of 13:23, 8 August 2019

Empty (空 (くう) 虚 (きょ) , Kūkyo^?) is the thirty-first chapter of The Promised Neverland manga.

Synopsis

After Norman is sent, Emma goes into depression.

Plot

Looking around the halls of the orphanage, Emma stared in despair as she could no longer experience the happiness she once had with Norman. As she and Ray continued spending their remaining days in the orphanage whilst feeling depressed over the loss of their dear friend. As the younger orphans started to noticed Emma and Ray's unusual behaviors, Phil, Thoma and Lani reckoned how the two and Norman must be very close friends, thus the reason for them being so depressed.

Gilda and Don overheard the three's conversation from a distance, as they recalled the time when Ray gave up and excluded himself from aiding in the escape plan, as he gave Emma the tracker-disabling device. Gilda and Don discussed how Emma and Ray are completely different ever since Norman's departure, as they struggled in figuring out a way to help the two.

Some time passed as Emma slouched on the sickbed in the orphanage's medical room, still remembering the times she had spent with Norman. Out of the blue came Isabella, as she appeared right in front of Emma, frightening her in the process. With a threatening voice, Isabella hugged her foster daughter as she recommends her to follow the route of becoming one of the plantations' caretakers, and not losing her life as the demons' livestock once she is shipped out in future. Hearing no response from Emma, Isabella left the medical room, telling her to "writhe in agony and wait for [her] death" if she choose to not take her advice of becoming a caretaker. Isabella soon showed sad and concern on her face, as she thought of Emma as a foolish girl.

Under the orphanage's big tree where the depressed Emma lied, Anna, Phil, Thoma, Lani, Gilda and Don went forward to comfort her. Elsewhere in the library, an equally depressed Ray sat among a pile of opened books. Isabella witnessed the scene, but ignored and walked away, with a King chess piece lying among a pile of leaves, Isabella claimed that it was her "Checkmate", referencing how she won against Emma and her friends in preventing them to escape.

Two months later, on January 14, 2046, Emma headed dejectedly into the Dining Room, where she found Ray, who was leaving the house on his last night in it, for it was his birthday the next day. He asks Emma if she really gave up, she gives a smile in response.

-== Plot ==
-The chapter begins by showing how the house is without Norman, with his bed without a mattress, the chair where he sat empty, his toothbrush removed, and his desk of Intelligence Tests empty. Emma is in the hallway and thinks she's heard Norman, but when she turns around, she sees it was not true, became sad that he's gone. Outside, Emma is leaning against a tree while the others play. Phil comments that Emma is sad, Lani and Thoma comment that Ray was too, commenting that this was because Norman and the two were close.
+Under the orphanage's big tree where the depressed Emma lied, [[Anna]], Phil, Thoma, Lani, Gilda and Don went forward to comfort her. Elsewhere in the library, an equally depressed Ray sat among a pile of opened books. Isabella witnessed the scene, but ignored and walked away, with a [[Wikipedia:King_(chess)|King chess piece]] lying among a pile of leaves, Isabella claimed that it was her "Checkmate", referencing how she won against Emma and her friends in preventing them to escape.
-Don and Gilda look at and remember a conversation with Ray, where he says that everyone will die anyway, giving up on escaping. Emma tries to convince him by handing her device, he tells her that she can keep it and says she could run away if she wants, but he would not, apologizing. Emma leaves the room sad. Going back to the real-time, Don and Gilda are in the woods. Gilda comments that Emma and Ray look different people and asks if they would even be able to flee this time. Don says panicking would not help and they should do their best in their own way, in which she agrees.
+Two months later, on January 14, 2046, Emma headed dejectedly into the Dining Room, where she found Ray, who was leaving the house on his last night in it, for it was his birthday the next day. He asks Emma if she really gave up, she gives a smile in response.
-In the infirmary, Emma is lying down and thinks about what she should do without Norman and Ray. She doubts if she will be able to help everyone escape and live, saying that she could not do anything useful and could not do anything without Norman. At that moment, Izabella enters the infirmary, scaring Emma. She hugs Emma and cites all the things that went wrong, like Norman's death, Ray's quitting and the abyss behind the wall, telling her to give up everything to stop suffering, asking her to accept her fate. Izabella says that if she agrees, she will recommend her to the high rank as a candidate for Mama, stating that she will grow up, have a child and, if considered worthy, will return to a plant like Mama or Sister. She claims that Emma is a special child who deserved this option. Immediately, she thinks about who would choose this, Izabella agrees but states that it was the only option. She asks Emma to live and to form her career as Mama. However, Emma refuses to do so. Izabella gets annoyed and walks out of the room, but looks at Emma crying in bed earlier, getting sad.
-Not knowing what to do, the scene changes to Emma leaning against a tree, hopeless, thinking it was impossible and she could not do anything. Children try to cheer her up, but they can not. Don and Gilda are sad to see how Emma was. Ray is shown in the library, equally discouraged. Izabella is sad to see Emma's situation, she turns around and claims that this was her "checkmate". Two months later, on January 14, 2046, Emma headed dejectedly into the Dining Room, where she found Ray, who was leaving the house on his last night in it, for it was his birthday the next day. He asks Emma if she really gave up, she gives a smile in response.
