She informs her that Michelle never gave a damn about anything, as Libby does every year.
Michelle reveals that she does this to place letters in the cans that are for her family members.
After her family argued, she stopped writing letters because she felt undesired as a youngster.
When Libby picks up a pebble and chooses to take a walk, a centipede creeps on her.
she becomes alarmed by this and nearly walks on it, but jon prevents her by stating that
Libby claims that the insect bit her, but Jon identifies it as a rare type of centipede called the Scala Pendra.
As he raises a piece of wood that reveals more creatures, he thinks that it is merely attempting to protect its young.
He delicately blows the centipede bite mark on her hand after she shows him the mark.
He reassures her that even though the poisonous bite was painful, she will be OK.
