00:13 Mother.
00:14 Have a seat.
00:17 It's this way, Mahito.
00:18 A lot of strange things happen in this place.
00:24 Please join us.
00:26 I just hope we stay safe.
00:28 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:29 Save me.
00:31 Save me, Mahito.
00:33 What exactly are you?
00:34 [LAUGHTER]
00:37 Your mother, she's awaiting your rescue.
00:42 I'll be your guide.
00:43 What is this place?
00:48 This world is filled with the dead.
00:52 I know it's alive.
00:57 But I have to see.
00:58 I'm looking for someone.
01:04 Let's go.
01:04 We must protect this world ourselves.
01:10 Go back, now.
01:12 Mahito.
01:13 Mahito.
01:14 You and I aren't friends or allies, kid.
01:20 Don't let go, no matter what.

01:36 A gray heron once told me that all gray herons are liars.
01:44 So is that the truth or a lie?
01:47 A lie.
01:47 The truth.
01:48 [GRUNTING]
01:49 [LAUGHTER]
01:49 I think we have to be a lie, too.
