Ahh. The air in the forest really is different. It's so fresh. I feel more revitalized with every breath I take.

The sunlight coming through the trees is beautiful. Not too bright, not too dark. Plus the sound of birds singing is so relaxing. *Yawn*

Kanata, please try to stay awake until we get to the rest area. I know the trail is paved the entire way, but it's still dangerous to walk around willy-nilly.

Hey, look at the bird on that branch. I wonder what kind it is.

[Fade in/out.]

I can look it up, zura. I brought a bird guide and some binoculars from my house! Let's see what we've got.

Doesn't all that stuff make your bag really heavy?!

The weight of knowledge is a burden worth carrying, zura! I'll find the bird Eli saw. First I'll need to look at it through my binoculars, zura. Eli, where is it?

It's over… Huh? Aww, it's gone.

The sunlight's getting fainter. We must be pretty deep in the forest now. Is everyone all right? Everyone keeping up?

What a silly question. Do you think I, the great Yohane, would be bested by such a simple mountain path?

Yoshiko, you're more energetic now than when we started the hike.

Don't call me Yoshiko! Hmph, whatever. Mountains are the realm of gods and demons. My power grows with every step I take!

I have no idea what you're talking about.

I think the stark difference between the darkness of the forest and daily life has her excited, zura.

Whoa!

Huh? E-Eli, what is it?

I-I s-saw something…moving in that bush there. Hanamaru, please go see what it is!

O-Okay, zura. Umm, there's nothing here.

Really?

EEEEEEEK!

Eli?!

Geez! That scared me!

What happened?

Heeeeeeelp!

Eli! Wait, where are you going?! Eli!

Sh-She's gone, zura.

She's so fast… No, forget that! She went completely off the hiking trail!

We should probably, uhh, go after her?

Yes. We can't leave her. Come on everyone, let's go!

Yeah!
