As there was such a long trip to the top floor of Highbranch Tree, very few boys lived up there; the boys who did could afford a regular supply of pixie dust to make the trip. With so few occupants on the top floors, there were fewer—but larger—nests. On the top floor there were just three nests and a hall that led to a small carved out spiral staircase; the staircase led to the floor above the top floor—the largest nest in Highbranch Tree, the largest nest in all of Nowhereland, more spacious than any house in town—this was Slightly's nest.

Smee and his crew were drenched in sweat when they arrived at the top floor of Highbranch Tree.

Slightly was sleeping but Curly had been wide awake since the nest started shaking that night. All night Curly checked out a window hole for developments on the ground. Typically the full moon raids never reached them but after being awoken, Curly had the sense to barricade the door and prepare for an intrusion.

When Smee's crew tried to enter Slightly's nest, they found the enterance locked and begun chopping it down.

Curly had the time to kick Slightly awake and hand him all of their weapons and doubloons and dump the last of their pixie dust on him before sending him flying out the window. As the sweaty Pirates finally burst in with swords drawn, Curly dropped to his knees and put his hands on his head to show that he was no threat.

One or more of the crew may have considered that it would be easier to run Curly through with a blade and be done with him rather than waste their time and effort on arresting and escorting him but as Curly had given himself up peacefully—and Smee was watching—they did things the right way. Curly was escorted down twelve floors, where he was then handed over from Smee's crew to the evacuation crew.

The evacuation crew tied Curly by the arms and escorted him down the rest of the way and outside to the prisoner transport crew.

The prisoner transport crew packed Curly on a cart with other imprisoned boys and as they were carted away. Curly finally got to witness what disturbed him that night—crowning Highbranch Tree.
