[00:05] Narrator
    In the beginning, it was an orb.
[00:11] Narrator
    Not just any orb.
[00:13] Narrator
    It was an orb that captured the reflections
    of many things and changed in response.
[00:20] Narrator
    I decided to cast the orb unto
    the Earth and observe it.
[00:34] Narrator
    It spent some time in the form of a rock.
[00:44] Narrator
    As its surroundings grew warmer,
    it took the form of moss.
[00:51] Narrator
    In time, snow began to fall upon the land.
[01:04] Narrator
    A Reshy wolf appeared from the south...
[01:20] Narrator
    and then it perished.
[01:34] Narrator
    It then took on the form of the wolf.
[01:43] Narrator
    And it became conscious.
[01:47] Narrator
    It didn't know how to walk, but it was
    soon able to replicate the behavior.
[01:53] Narrator
    It moved clumsily.
[01:55] Narrator
    It seemed to have replicated
    the wolf's injury.
[01:58] Narrator
    Its first discomfort.
[02:00] Narrator
    Its first pain.
[02:03] Narrator
    But it recovered within twenty seconds.
[02:06] Narrator
    Not a problem.
[02:10] Narrator
    It began to walk,
[02:13] Narrator
    experiencing the cold of the wind and
    the scent of the snow for the first time
[02:20] Narrator
    as it wandered aimlessly.
[02:50] Boy
    Joaan!
[02:51] Boy
    You're finally back!
[02:54] Boy
    Thank goodness you're safe!
[02:57] Boy
    You were gone for two whole
    months! I was so worried!
[03:00] Boy
    But I knew you'd never forget about me.
[03:04] Boy
    You seem quieter than usual.
[03:08] Boy
    I get it. You must be tired.
[03:18] Narrator
    Here, there were many
    new and unfamiliar things.
[03:24] Narrator
    The pleasure it felt as its
    body temperature rose,
[03:31] Narrator
    an unidentifiable scent...
[03:34] Narrator
    This was an alluring space.
[03:37] Narrator
    If it could speak, it would have said
    it wanted to stay here forever.
[03:43] Boy
    I keep telling you not to go near the fire.
[03:47] Boy
    Here's your food.
[03:59] Boy
    Here.
[04:04] Boy
    Huh?
[04:05] Boy
    I get it.
[04:07] Boy
    You don't like it because
    it's not horndeer milk.
[04:10] Boy
    Well, I can't help that.
[04:12] Boy
    The last one died a year ago.
[04:18] Boy
    The fire's going out.
[04:20] Boy
    We should go to sleep before it does.
[04:27] Narrator
    This boy, whose name it didn't even
    know, was the first person it met.
SIGN    The Last One
[04:55] Boy
    It's never going to dry if it keeps snowing.
[04:58] Boy
    The wood from Auntie's place is no good.
[05:01] Boy
    What's that? I have no right to complain
    when I'm taking people's stuff?
[05:04] Boy
    Sorry. I know.
[05:07] Boy
    Everyone's going to be
    angry when they get back.
[05:12] Boy
    What choice do I have?
[05:13] Boy
    I have to do this, or I'll die.
[05:18] Boy
    Of course I believe it!
[05:19] Boy
    It's been five years since they left.
[05:21] Boy
    Only five years!
[05:23] Boy
    I mean, they're way past there.
[05:26] Boy
    Way, way over there.
[05:31] Boy
    There's lots of food and people there.
[05:34] Boy
    They all went because they believed that.
[05:41] Boy
    And you know what?
    They told me it's like paradise there.
[05:46] Boy
    There's plenty of fish, and lots of tasty stuff called... "fruit," I think?
[05:52] Boy
    There are tons of people who
    are way smarter than we are,
[05:55] Boy
    and they all live happily
    together every day.
[05:59] Boy
    I'm so jealous.
[06:00] Boy
    I wish I could've gone.
[06:02] Boy
    Do you remember?
[06:03] Boy
    I tried to go with the grown-ups,
    but I couldn't, because you stopped me.
[06:09] Boy
    You bit my leg.
[06:10] Boy
    So they told me I had to stay behind and
    watch over Grandma and the old folks.
[06:15] Boy
    Isn't that awful?
[06:17] Boy
    They said they'd be back with
    gifts once they found paradise.
[06:22] Boy
    Remember when they said that?
[06:24] Boy
    In the end, the only ones who stayed behind
    were the old folks that I couldn't save...
[06:31] Boy
    and us.
[06:43] Boy
    Joaan!
[07:02] Boy
    Please...
[07:05] Boy
    Welcome home!
[07:22] Boy
    Just kidding! It was actually a fish!
[07:25] Boy
    Woo-hoo! We haven't had one this big in ages!
[07:29] Boy
    Here's your share.
[07:33] Boy
    We need to save wood, so let's eat the rest raw.
[07:44] Boy
    What's wrong? That part's your favorite.
[07:46] Boy
    Have you forgotten how to eat?
[07:48] Boy
    Like this!
[07:50] Boy
    You put it in your mouth and chew.
[07:53] Boy
    Munch, munch.
[07:56] Boy
    See?
[08:06] ---
    See?
[08:13] Boy
    Hey, you can eat.
[08:29] Boy
    Oh, this is Uncle and Auntie.
[08:33] Boy
    And here's my older cousin and his kids,
[08:36] Boy
    and the hairy guy from across the street...
[08:38] Boy
    And this is the lady next door.
    Doesn't it look just like her?
[08:43] Boy
    I just wanted to make it clear
    that there were people here...
[08:47] Boy
    and make sure I don't forget.
[08:53] Boy
    Joaan, I'm thinking of
    leaving this place, too.
[08:57] Boy
    I want to meet all sorts of people
    and feel all sorts of things.
[09:01] Boy
    I'm sure some of it will be bad,
[09:03] Boy
    but I still want to learn about the world.
[09:07] Boy
    Of course, you're coming with me.
[09:33] Boy
    You can't see the sea anymore.
[09:36] Boy
    I've never come this far before.
[09:39] Boy
    According to my uncle, it's due south.
[09:42] Boy
    You turn your back to my house
    and just walk straight.
[09:47] Boy
    You can't see it now,
[09:49] Boy
    but eventually, you'll see a huge
    mountain standing there like a wall.
[09:52] Boy
    Past that is paradise.
[09:56] Boy
    All right, let's keep going until it gets dark.
[10:16] Boy
    What's that?
[10:23] Boy
    It's a message!
[10:25] Boy
    For people like me who
    are heading to paradise!
[10:29] Boy
    It's saying to go this way!
[10:31] Boy
    Yes! This is great!
[10:33] Boy
    See, Joaan?
[10:34] Boy
    Aren't you glad we left?
[10:38] Boy
    Yeah, I'm happy, too!
[10:42] Boy
    Do you know what vegetables are, Joaan?
[10:45] Boy
    Apparently, I ate some a long time ago,
    but I don't remember it at all.
[10:49] Boy
    And then there're the round,
    sweet things called "fruit."
[10:52] Boy
    I asked my uncle what "sweet" is like,
    but I still didn't really get it.
[10:58] Boy
    I can't wait to try it.
[11:01] Boy
    I'm so excited.
[11:03] Boy
    It'll be ultimate freedom!
[11:38] Boy
    It's really starting to snow.
[11:41] Boy
    Oh? Was that a whimper I just heard?
[11:45] Boy
    Our journey's just getting started.
[11:54] Boy
    Look! It's a tree!
[11:56] Boy
    This is amazing! It means we're
    getting close to the mountains!
[11:59] Boy
    Let's take some for firewood.
[12:03] Boy
    There.
[12:05] Boy
    Time to head out again.
[12:18] Boy
    Now I've done it...
[12:20] Boy
    My face is freezing.
[12:22] Boy
    I'm soaked through.
[12:23] Boy
    This is great, though! There's a river here!
[12:26] Boy
    Let's catch some fish!
[12:30] Boy
    You just laughed at me, didn't you?
[12:52] Boy
    That'll do it.
[12:57] Boy
    Don't worry. I'll be fine.
[12:59] Boy
    It's just a scratch.
[13:03] Boy
    Come on, stop joking around.
[13:05] Boy
    I'm not going back.
[13:07] Boy
    That would be way too embarrassing.
[13:09] Boy
    It's not like we're out of food.
[13:13] Boy
    We're walking tomorrow, too.
[13:15] Boy
    And the day after, and the day after that.
[13:17] Boy
    Even if you say you don't want to.
[13:19] Boy
    You gotta use your strength
    while you still have it.
[13:55] Boy
    That's not right, Joaan.
[13:57] Boy
    I think it would be even
    more foolish to give up
[14:00] Boy
    just because we don't know
    if the others are still alive.
[14:04] Boy
    Even if we went back now,
    we'd just rot away with that house.
[14:07] Boy
    I don't want that.
[14:09] Boy
    I want to go where the others are.
[14:11] Boy
    That's the only thing
    that's left for me to do.
[14:15] Boy
    And I'm sure the reason they haven't come back
    is because where they are now is so great.
[14:20] Boy
    Great food, great people...
[14:23] Boy
    They're enjoying themselves so much,
    and they're having too much fun.
[14:28] Boy
    That's why...
[15:30] Boy
    This is amazing, Joaan!
[15:32] Boy
    This is evidence that
    there were people here!
[15:35] Boy
    Look at this!
[15:36] Boy
    They really came through here!
[15:39] Boy
    Which means, uh...
[15:40] Boy
    We're on the right track!
[15:42] Boy
    We can make it to the mountains!
[15:45] Boy
    We can definitely make it!
[15:48] Boy
    We can...
[15:54] Boy
    Can we... make it?
[16:02] Boy
    Wh-What do you think, Joaan?
[16:05] Boy
    Do you think I can make it?
[16:08] Boy
    Tell me.
[16:10] Boy
    Say something to me like you always do.
[16:15] Boy
    I guess you can't answer me, huh?
[16:18] Boy
    O-Of course not...
[16:22] Boy
    I was just talking to
    myself this whole time!
[16:28] Boy
    Damn it...
[16:30] Boy
    Damn it!
[16:43] Boy
    Yeah...
[16:45] Boy
    I'm sorry, Joaan.
[16:49] Boy
    You came with me all this way.
[16:52] Boy
    I shouldn't have said that.
[16:55] Boy
    I'm sorry.
[16:56] Boy
    I'm sorry...
[17:02] Boy
    Let's go back.
[17:04] Boy
    Let's go back, okay, Joaan?
[17:10] Boy
    I decided that.
[17:12] Boy
    Not you.
[17:14] Boy
    I want to go home.
[17:16] Boy
    I want to go home.
[17:19] Boy
    Let's go.
[18:03] Boy
    Why are you looking at me like that?
[18:10] Boy
    Do you feel sick?
[18:12] Boy
    Or are you trying to make me smile?
[18:16] Boy
    I know, I know.
[18:19] Boy
    You're hungry, aren't you?
[18:23] Boy
    I'll make you something to eat.
[18:37] Boy
    Good, good.
[18:38] Boy
    It's healing.
[18:41] Boy
    Does it smell yummy or something?
[18:44] Boy
    Once this wound heals,
    we're going to try again, Joaan.
[19:02] Boy
    That's... strange...
[19:29] Boy
    My chair...
[19:45] Boy
    Y'know... I... I don't want to be lying down...
[19:51] Boy
    when everyone gets back. I'd look pathetic.
[19:57] Boy
    This is my spot.
[19:59] Boy
    This is where... I look best.
[20:07] Boy
    Joaan...
[20:09] Boy
    I want you to do something for me.
[20:14] Boy
    Remember me...
[20:19] Boy
    forever.
[21:48] Boy
    All right, time to set
    out for paradise again!
[21:52] Boy
    Huh? Joaan!
[21:56] Boy
    Everyone!
[21:58] Boy
    Wow... You were all waiting for me!
[22:02] Boy
    That's great! I'm not alone anymore!
[22:04] Boy
    I can keep going now!
[22:06] Boy
    Look, everyone! There are people!
[22:09] Boy
    Hello, everyone.
[22:11] Boy
    Nice to meet you.
[22:12] Boy
    Tell me about this place.
[22:14] Boy
    Have you heard of fruit?
[22:16] Boy
    Hello!
[22:18] Boy
    Nice to meet you!
[22:19] Boy
    My name is...
[22:27] Narrator
    It took on the form of a human.
[22:34] Narrator
    Conditions must be met to obtain a new form.
[22:37] Narrator
    It needs stimulation.
[22:40] Narrator
    It set forth in search of more stimulation.
[22:44] Narrator
    It will meet all kinds of people
    and feel all kinds of things...
[22:53] Narrator
    Just as the boy had wished to do.
