EX05-1 The Forgotten Children
This is Babylonia, not the research institute or Kurono. There are no unexpected menace and experiments on her path that would put her on a leash.
Shaped like a stuffed animal, it is too dirty to tell its original color, save for the bright red of its cracked lips. The two stiff, sad glass eyeballs, poorly sewn, have melted, staring straight at No. 21.
A speeding police car stops before you, and Noctis pokes his head out from the rolled-down window wearing a pair of sunglasses he has found, whistling loudly.
The black fog dissipates, not disappearing completely, retreating to somewhere not far behind you. But it is far enough from her for now, and she is safe from being immediately devoured.
No. 21 approaches the shade instinctively for a closer look. But the moment she steps forward, all images disappear, leaving behind the Medic Bots and equipment in the dilapidated corridors as if nothing has happened.
The storage before you turns into a few empty shelves on the wall. A scrawled, child-like picture painted with red crayons sits above, with "Go to Hell and meet Voooo" written next to it. It looks ridiculous but scary.
Her laser cannon soars with Buddy, and she breaks through her shackles like a runaway beast. Her minute figure lashes out massive waves of energy, like a wolf finally revealing its fangs.
Wind passes through the withered tree and the lifeless houses over the nameless graves full of white crosses. An insignificant white daisy on the edge of the grave sways, hoping the wind will carry it away, but the wind cannot.
