Some time after the events of ''Assassin's Creed III'' and the end of the Revolutionary War, George Washington secretly meets with Connor, telling him of dreams he has received from an Apple of Eden he had seized. Concerned, Connor attempts to take the Apple from Washington, but is transported into an alternate timeline, created by Washington's nightmares. In this reality, Connor never became an Assassin, his mother Kaniehti:io is still alive, his father Haytham Kenway died years ago, and Washington, mad with power, has crowned himself the "Mad King" of the United States. After Kaniehti:io tries and fails to steal Washington's source of power, a Scepter with the Apple at the top, a furious Washington mobilizes his army to eliminate her and Connor's tribe. In desperation, the tribe's Clan Mother brews the Tea of the Great Willow, which can grant great physical abilities with crippling side effects. However, Kaniehti:io forbids Connor from drinking the tea and gifts him Haytham's old Hidden Blades. Washington's forces attack, slaughtering the tribe and killing Kaniehti:io. Connor attempts to fight back, but is overpowered by Washington's Scepter and gunned down.
Five months later, after Connor has recovered, the Clan Mother insists that only the Tea can stop Washington. Connor brews and drinks it, gaining the power to turn invisible and summon spectral wolves. The Clan Mother is later killed in a raid led by General Benedict Arnold, leading Connor to kill him. With his dying breath, Arnold reveals that he had been mind controlled by Washington, and directs Connor to seek Benjamin Franklin. Connor is captured by General Israel Putnam and taken to Boston to be executed, but manages to escape. In the process, he reunites with his childhood friend Kanen'tó:kon, who is part of a resistance group led by Samuel Adams. After Kanen'tó:kon reveals that drinking more of the Tea can grant additional powers, Connor does so, gaining the ability to transform into an eagle. Connor then tracks down Franklin and frees him from Washington's control. Franklin agrees to help Connor eliminate Washington. However, Putnam ambushes and kills Adams and his rebels. With no other choice, Connor and Franklin seize a ship to escape Boston. Putnam attempts to stop them but is killed by Connor. Connor, Franklin, and Kanen'tó:kon set sail to New York, where Washington is building a pyramid.
Upon arriving, their ship is attacked by Washington's navy, scattering the crew. Kanen'tó:kon sacrifices himself to protect Franklin, and Connor drinks the Tea again, granting him the strength of a bear. They encounter another resistance group led by Thomas Jefferson attempting to attack Washington's pyramid. Connor helps Jefferson's rebels withdraw, and works to gain additional support. Washington addresses the people with a speech, boasting about his plans to invade England and enslave its people. Eventually, Connor sows enough chaos and support that the entire city rises up against Washington. Using a special key provided by Franklin, Connor infiltrates the pyramid, where he battles and defeats Washington. As Connor reaches for the Scepter, he is returned to his own timeline.
Terrified by the Apple's power, Washington orders Connor to dispose of it. In his office, Washington is met by an unknown man who suggests he should become the king of the United States. Washington flatly refuses, and the man disappears when Connor tosses the Apple into the sea.

The main point of the plot is to link up two storylines of the official games - ''Unleashed'' and ''Lost World''. Storytelling is based around the question - "Why Chaos Emeralds are no longer used in recent sonic games?" and as the story progresses, the player gets the answer to this question. ''Omens's'' storyline is released by episodes, four of which have been released.
The story begins at Tails's house in the summer morning. The little fox wakes Sonic up after listening to the news from the radio. The radio host said that Dr. Eggman captured the chaos emerald from the new Gaia temple. Sonic decides to find evil scientist, and Tails offers him to check old Eggman’s Outpost, that is not so far away from his house. Not having time to finish work on the plane "Tornado" ("Hyper Tornado" in game), Tails, along with Sonic, goes to the base across the sea. While they were getting closer to the base, a storm has began. Due to bad weather and zero visibility, they face a squad of "G. U. N." robots, what is the reason of their fall to the Сhao island near the abandoned base. Waking up after the fall, they notice that eggman robots are operating on the island. Tails goes to save Chao from them, while Sonic heads towards Eggman's tower.Inside the tower, after their reunion, Sonic and Tails find an old computer. While Tails is trying to find useful information about Eggman's position, Sonic is being attacked by broken "Egg Dragoon" ("Dragoon E-Zero" in game) from ''Unleashed''. After defeating him, Sonic pulls out a microchip from the robot, and with it Tails finds out Eggman's location. After returning home, Tails finishes the plane and, together with Sonic, goes in search of mad scientist.
While flying over the desert Tails informs Sonic that Eggman's location comes from the Area 99 - a base organization "G. U. N." which it is forbidden to enter. Sonic breaks his way through to the base, while Tails flies around through the canyons. Inside the base, Sonic figures out that the signal is coming from under the base, which is built on top of an ancient temple. After meeting up with Tails inside the temple, they find Eggman stealing the red Chaos Emerald. He couldn't do it because something, that looks like a giant snake has come out from under the floor and threw Eggman aside. This creature wanted to do the same to Sonic and Tails, but they manage to escape on Tornado. After leaving the temple, they face the snake again and Sonic quickly guesses, where the red emerald from the temple is - it's in the monster's head, which serves as a source of energy for him. After pulling the emerald out of the creature, the red stone fell on the ground with a monster. Sonic picks up the emerald, and Tails points out that Eggman goes on to the next emerald. Without wasting any time, they are getting on the plane and start chasing him. The episode ends within the temple, after the escape of Sonic and Tails, when a mysterious hand touches a fresco, which depicts some ancient creature with all seven Chaos Emeralds. Passing a hand over it, an unknown voice says that "this chaos - just the first Omen".
Later at night, Sonic and Tails continue to chase Eggman through the jungle. "G. U. N." robots join the chase, and they accidentally damage one of the Tornado's engines while trying to hit the evil scientist. Sonic decides to get out of the plane and clear the way for "G. U. N.". Foxkit reveals, that the signal from the emerald is coming from inside a giant tree in the jungle environment, and that he can't fly here, so Sonic enters it by himself and finds the yellow gem. However, when he takes it, the tree begins to flood with water. After getting out of the temple, Sonic runs down the trunk of a tree, trying to escape from the flow of water. Tails manages to save him from drowning just in time. Sonic shows him a yellow stone, but after a short period of time, the emerald begins to interact with t previously found red emerald, releasing a pillar of the brightest light into the sky. This light is seen by both Eggman and Shadow, the hero of the next episode. Tails asks Sonic to hide the emerald, but right after these words, something explodes in the aircraft's on-board controls and the plane starts to fall. Sonic hides the emerald and tries to call out Tails, but he turns out to be unconscious. They are crashing.
The episode begins from Shadow's training in "G. U. N." simulation on their base. After training he comes to conference room, and gets information about Sonic's irresponsibility and Eggman's attack on sector "W". He receives an order to stop Eggman and deliver the emerald to them. After receiving assignment,he gets green Chaos Emerald and is being asked not to fail his mission. The sector "W" is located within the White Jungle, which has started to rot. Making his way through the army of Eggman's robots, Shadow contacts his partner, ''Rouge The Bat'', to get more information about this sector. She tells him that the bright light was caused by two Chaos Emeralds, because they were without any contact with each other for too long, and that "started causing havoc". Shadow asks her to track his signal and goes to sector "W" to get the emerald. The sector "W" turns out to be a giant tree, where Sonic has taken the yellow Chaos Emerald, in previous episode. He gets to the temple and tells Rouge that the emerald has already been taken already and his guess falls on Eggman. Suddenly, the floor below him collapses and he falls down, releasing the emerald from his hands. Standing up after falling, Shadow realizes that he has fallen into a cave under a giant tree, with a hole in the center, where green stone has fallen to and began to glow. Suddenly a monster crawls out of this hole with Chaos Emerald in the forehead and attacks black hedgehog. During the battle, the cave begins to flood and Shadow begins to get out from this place. Having got to the surface, he is again attacked by a creature. The monster proved to be strong, so Shadow removes the restrictive rings and finally defeats him. After the victory, Shadow asks Rouge about this creature, but she "has no idea what that creature is". In the distance he notices Eggman, who is flying away. Shadow starts following him. The episode ends at the place where boss battle was. There, a mysterious artifact, which was left after monster’s defeat, starts to glow.
The next 3 episodes, that complete the story of the game, are still in development, and will be released in spring 2022.

There, Homer engages in an awkward conversation with Lenny, who is overly enthusiastic about his new dog. Homer is relieved when Santa's Little Helper scares Lenny's dog off, going to buy him ice cream as a treat. Before entering the store, Homer rolls down the windows and turns the AC on; Santa's Little Helper closes the windows and knocks the car keys out while jumping around in excitement, making it appear as though Homer has locked him in the car. Many passers-by notice and post misinformation about Homer, accusing him of having done it on purpose. For this incident, as well as forgetting to pick up Bart and Lisa from the trampoline park, Homer becomes a town pariah.
As the hate against Homer continues spreading, Lisa implores him to read an apology to the town. At church, Homer is given the opportunity to stand at the pulpit and make a statement.

When the family goes out to dinner, they meet Theo, who invites Homer to The Institute: a place where people falsely blamed on the Internet can have their reputations restored.

The team break into the island headquarters of ChumNet, an infamous clickbait site, to implement the code. Everyone besides Homer is distracted by the various attention-grabbing articles the site publishes, and he makes it to the server room alone. Upon plugging the code in, Homer learns that he will not only erase every trace of his group's misdeeds, but immoral acts of recent political leaders. He realizes that The Institute was funded for this purpose, and stops the code, instead reading Lisa's apology note over a worldwide broadcast. Everyone forgives Homer, including his family, while Theo is beaten up by various Institute guards for his failure.
Randy Marsh is preparing to release a new special blend of Tegridy Farms marijuana for St. Patrick's Day, but becomes frustrated when he sees that neighboring farm Credigree Weed, owned by Steve Black, is also selling a St. Patrick's Day Special. Meanwhile, Butters Stotch arrives at South Park Elementary in a jovial mood, and playfully pinches a fellow student who is not wearing green, but it was later revealed that the student was actually wearing green socks. Because she did not consent to this pinching, Butters is immediately arrested and thrown in jail for sexual assault. Back at Credigree Weed, Randy and Steve trade blows after the former accuses the latter of culturally appropriating Irish and white culture. Randy is thrown into jail with Butters, who interprets his arrival as a sign of hope from Saint Patrick himself.
Steve Black receives an order from an Irish bar owner for two-and-a-half tons of Credigree Weed. His wife Linda wonders how he will procure such a large amount, but Steve remains optimistic nonetheless. Randy uses his phone call to convince his son Stan to ditch school and smuggle some Tegridy Weed into jail. He and his friends hide the cannabis in a cake, and Randy is about to offer some to a nearby guard when a shipment of free Credigree Weed arrives at the police station. Enraged by this, Randy uses magical leprechaun powers to break out of prison with Butters following behind.
He arrives home at his cannabis farm only to find that his business partner Towelie had sold the Tegridy Farms St. Patrick's Day Special to Steve at half-price. Randy beats Towelie up and travels to the Irish bar Farty O'Cools to confront Steve, where patrons are on high alert after the news announces that a sexual predator (Butters) has escaped his cell. The police chase Butters down, and as he is about to surrender, the real Saint Patrick descends upon South Park and delivers a disillusioned speech about how the original message of St. Patrick's Day—getting drunk and performing sexual acts—has been lost. Saint Patrick sexually assaults various women and men during this speech, causing the townsfolk to lose interest in him and the holiday.
The episode ends with the news that St. Patrick's Day, the final holiday where white people can fully celebrate their race, has been cancelled; it is also revealed that Butters has been sentenced to five years of community service.
This book is based off of four lectures given by Ali Smith at Oxford University. The four headings are "On Time" , "On Form" , "On Edge" and "On Offer and On Reflection".
It has two fictional characters. One is a woman mourning her dead lover and the other is her dead lover who still seems to be around. She speaks to the mourning women in Greek, steals belongings and causes a nuisance. The dead women was working on some lectures when her life ended and the living one work with trees.
A Guardian critic argued "if this book has a central subject, it's the relationship between thought and art" and Smith continually explores different artist throughout the book such as the surrealist Shakespeare and Jackie Kay.

Hashem has gone to a swimming pool with his henchmen for revenge and is destroying it because a video of Parvaneh swimming in the swimming pool is published on the Internet. On the way back from the pool, Hashem kills Parvaneh. The court sentences Hashem to death. Hojjat and his father (Nader Shahsavari) go to Parvaneh's father (Alireza Davoudnejad) for consent. Parvaneh's father says he only agrees if the one who took the video is found. Police say the SIM card that first aired the film belonged to a man named Reza Zare, who recently escaped from an addiction camp. Hojjat is looking for Reza along with Mosayeb (Mahdi Hosseininia), Hashem's close friend. But they find that Reza is dead.
With Hashem's guidance, Hojjat goes to the people who worked with Hashem. These include Ashkan (Ali Shadman) who owns a liquor factory and Shapoor (Panthea Bahram) who runs a casino. But both deny involvement in the filming. The next day, the police arrests all the people Hojjat had approached. Their henchmen blame Hojjat for reporting them to the police and attack his house. Hojjat, along with her sister-in-law Mohammad (Iman Safa), kidnaps and harasses people in the region who have a history of snitching.
Akbar Kenti (Behrouz Panahandeh), one of the abductees, admits that it was him that reported to the police and he did so on the orders of a woman who claimed to be the temporary wife of Hojjat. Hojjat pulls the woman (Aban Asgari) to his garage by a fake accident and puts pressure on her. The woman confesses to filming Parvananeh and hiring Akbar under Mosayeb's order.

He also says that the arrest of Hojjat for inadvertently smuggling, followed by abortion and infertility of Afsaneh (Mahlaqa Bagheri), Hojjat's wife, was a plan of Hashem. He also says that Hojjat has inadvertently smuggled Methamphetamine for Hashem and Mosayeb several times.

Instead, he prepares three and a half kilos of Methamphetamine (the amount which can follow a death sentence for the smuggler) and embeds it in Mosayeb's apartment and calls the police to arrest him. In the last scene of the film, Hojjat tells his family that he has not been able to find the distributor of the film.

''Part 1'' follows the Captain as they take command of the ''Invincible II'', a recently completed colony ship transporting the crew and 100,000 cryogenically frozen colonists to a new home planet. Given a tour of the ship by the head engineer, Mark (Fischbach), the ship begins to have issues soon after the Captain arrives. After the warp core, a mysterious device that can open wormholes, initializes, the Captain and Mark are awoken from their cryopods by the ship, finding it in a state of catastrophe after getting stuck in the wormhole. The Captain and Mark find themselves trapped in a time loop that begins in their cryopods each time they die, setting out to reach the warp core and shut it down. The wormhole that the ship is stuck in is revealed to be causing extensive damage to the fabric of the multiverse, bringing an unnamed Lady, an agent of the Universal Stability Agency, to attempt to track them down and shut down the wormhole. After entering the wormhole, the Captain finds the warp core outside the universe. The warp core embeds a warp crystal in their left glove and asks them to resolve the paradox.
The ensuing adventure takes Mark and the Captain through several universes. These include:
Depending on the player's actions, the Bandit (Simone) may provide the Captain with a portable device that allows them to open wormholes with the warp crystal; in other timelines, it simply appears in the palm of the Captain's hand. As Mark and the Captain finally reach the warp core hallway, the Lady appears with the same portable wormhole device as the Captain in a tattered uniform. The same object in two different places at the same time causes a paradox, and the warp core forcibly warps her outside the known universe to resolve it. The Captain, pushed into the wormhole, finds themselves in the warp core room, encountering an elderly Mark, who has concluded that the time loop was a result of the Captain's actions. He then sends the warp core outside of the known universe in an attempt to prevent the paradox. However, this action has unforeseen consequences, and the universe collapses.
''Part 2'' begins with the universe being rebooted, but is severely corrupted as the paradox remains. The Captain relives the initial events of ''Part 1'', now warped and intersected by the alternate universes, and ends up back in the wormhole. Suddenly, the Captain wakes up as a child. After being read a bedtime story by their divorced father, the corruption continues. The Captain finds themselves in a diner, where they encounter the aging Mark. As the Captain is pulled into another wormhole, Mark concludes that the only way to restore the universe is for the Captain to tell his past self to "not use the warp core" and that he "can't go back" . After a series of choices, the Captain is transported to the Universal Stability Agency, where they encounter the Lady, who begs the Captain to shut down the wormhole before taking the portable wormhole device from their hand.
Similar to ''Part 1'', the Captain's choices allow them to visit several new universes, introduced as alternate interactive specials with their own title cards.
Depending on the Captain's actions, they may find the Lady, injured after being sent outside the known universe, lying next to the crystal-less warp core. The Captain invariably ends up in the diner from earlier, this time darkened and abandoned, with the elderly Mark waiting for them. Mark admits to initially sabotaging the ship before disappearing. They arrive at the warp core just as Mark is about to open a wormhole and travel back in time, using the warp core that he rebuilt with the crystal from the Captain's hand. The Captain holds onto Mark's hand to stop him from entering the wormhole and throws the warp crystal into the wormhole instead, ending the paradox. Mark realizes that the Captain didn't destroy the warp core and that Mark didn't rebuild it, but that ''he'' was the one to build it in the first place, and that sending it back in time was causing the paradox. He apologizes for his actions, and thanks the Captain for never giving up on him, before the broken universe collapses in on itself. The Captain then wakes up in their cryopod once again, but exits the pod to find the ship is in normal condition and the journey has gone according to plan. As Mark and the Captain view the planet from the window of the ship, Mark thanks the Captain for always believing in him, suggesting that he also remembers the events of the broken universe.
After the end credits, a mysterious figure finds the warp crystal in the ground and picks it up, repeating a line from ''A Heist with Markiplier''.
A man called Jin Momoi finds a baby inside a peach-shaped capsule whom he names Taro and raises. 21 years later, mysterious monsters called the Hitotsuki begin appearing when humans overcome with their inner desires are taken over by spirits infused with powers related to the Super Sentai from the past. Taro, and four other individuals selected by Jin; Shinichi Saruhara, a smart but eccentric young man, Haruka Kito, a high schooler manga artist, Tsubasa Inuzuka, a wanted fugitive, and Tsuyoshi Kijino, an ordinary salaryman begin fighting the Hitotsuki and saving their hosts as the Donbrothers. They are later joined by Jiro Momotani, who was also found in a capsule as a baby and raised in a rural area, whose dream is to become a hero.
Also standing in their way are the Noto, elusive and ruthless individuals from a higher plane who stop the Hitotsuki by sealing their hosts in another dimension, unlike the Donbrothers who use their powers to rescue them, Don Murasame, a mysterious warrior sent to fight them, and the Juto, strange and powerful creatures who are a threat to both humans and the Noto. The Donbrothers also count with the help of Kaito Goshikida, the owner of the coffee shop Donbura who transforms into Zenkaizer Black, and Jin, who is trapped into a sealed space and occasionally offers them advice.
The story of the series goes back to the period of the British Mandate for Iraq and the royal era and the events that took place during that period, and the series highlights the rural character.
A robot revolution is ignited when Isaac, a robot, dies without leaving an heir. As the government oversteps, a robot rebellion ensues. As the rebellion begins, the robots take control and disable their inability to harm humans. When this happens, the president orders all robots to be wiped out. The band of rebel robots aim to end all of humanity and essentially seeks revenge against the human race due to their mistreatment. As this rebellion begins, the narrator of the story, a nanny robot named Pounce, puts its own life at risk while doing what it was programmed to do; protect an 8-year-old boy by the name of Ezra. Pounce is designed to look like a stuffed tiger, but uses its "Mama Bear" software as a means to protect Ezra throughout the novel.
Philosophical questions arise throughout the novel. Pounce questions both his existence and his love for the boy. He does not know if it is simply programming, or an organic natural emotion that has grown from his relationship with Ezra. He discovers the box that he had arrived in when Ezra's parents, disengaged drunkards who ignore the crumbling world that surrounds their gated community, had purchased him. This discovery forces Pounce to contemplate not only what he is and where he came from, but also the fact that humans would eventually dispose of him once he was no longer of use to them. As the uprising begins, the robots that were designed to protect and serve humanity begin to join a hive mind system called OWI—One World Intelligence. All robots have to decide if they want to sync up with the hive mind, submitting to the revolution, or continue existing thinking alone. Pounce, among these robots, needs to decide whether to succumb to OWI or to think for himself and protect Ezra.

Darius is convinced that the place is "haunted" and plans to search the place, but is brushed off by Alfred. Alfred tries to talk with Earn, but Earn is also busy with managing the concert. As Alfred prepares to perform, a fan introduces him on stage and is told by Earn to get off the stage.

As Alfred tries to remember the last time he saw the phone, he brings up that he had it at the meet and greet with a boy who had cancer. Earn then contacts security to stop the boy but is informed that the boy is being rushed out of the building for a "cancer attack". Earn intercepts the paramedics and the boy, Marvy. While Marvy is initially supportive, Earn frenetically starts checking him and is booed by everyone present, forcing him to leave and not finding the phone.
Earn then deduces that the boy who presented Alfred, Wiley (Samuel Blenkin), could've taken it as he was backstage throughout the day. Earn contacts the venue manager, who states that Wiley is his nephew and does not believe he took it. As the manager surprisingly does not have Wiley's phone number, Earn takes Wiley's resume to contact him. They call Wiley, who finds it suspicious why they would call fans randomly.

Out on the playground, Zim is hit with a ball and cries "My squeedly-spootch!" (An Irken organ that is a single super-organ, it performs many bodily functions.) Dib quickly points out that it's not a human organ. Gaz then says she has a squeedly-spootch (most likely just to be sarcastic).
Later in class, a pigeon flies into the classroom and lands on Zim's head. As Ms. Bitters tries to teach the children about the bubonic plague (using the apocryphal Ring around the Rosey plague interpretation), yet she's distracted by the cooing of the pigeon. She angrily tells Zim to go see the school nurse because he has head pigeons. She gives him a hall pass, which is a collar that will apparently explode if he leaves school grounds. On his way out, Dib tries to scare Zim by telling him that his organs will probably be inspected, and he's sure to be discovered. So Zim gets an idea. Zim and Dib at the Nurse's office. Dib quickly realizes Zim is up to something so he asks to see the nurse as well, telling Ms. Bitters that a pencil is lodged in his brain. (He appears to have broken a pencil and stuck it up his nose.) After he convinces her that the pencil is in far enough to be a danger, she allows him to go. She also gives him a hall pass—a 62 lb. radiator. He soon discovers Zim's intentions: stealing the organs of the other children by teleporting them out and replacing them with various items (a carton of milk, a Game Slave, a kitten, etc.). Dib desperately tries to protect the last child (with all organs intact), Torque Smackey, from Zim's organ transplanting, and follows him around. As Dib is walking with Torque down the hall, he tells him about Zim, and how aliens are "kind of a hobby of (his), no, more of a way of life". He also tells him he has vague memories of being abducted by aliens. He thinks that they were experimenting on him, "trying to create some sort of super baby, perhaps?". Dib keeps walking, but Torque disappears. Dib hears strange noises from another room, and sees flashing from the room. It is apparently the school storage room, and Dib sees a weight roll his way, and runs out of the room screaming, although it is unclear exactly what happened to Torque. Zim travels through the air vent, chasing Dib, and Dib eventually descends to the boiler room, and soon, Zim corners him.
In the final scene, Zim and Dib are being examined by the nurse. She shoos the pigeon away and tells Zim that he's "the healthiest little boy (she's) ever seen, and such plentiful organs!" Dib, however, moos like a cow from the novelty item Zim zapped into him. The nurse cries out in a panic and calls Dib inhuman and a newspaper spins onto the screen with the headline, "Hideous mooing cyborg boy found!"

''Winter in Sokcho'' begins at a guesthouse located in Sokcho, South Korea, a fishing town which dies during the colder months due to less traffic from tourists. The story is told through the eyes of the narrator, an unnamed woman of French-Korean decent, who introduces the reader to Yan Kerrand, a French graphic novelist looking for inspiration for his latest story. Kerrand checking into the guesthouse is the start of their tense, uncomfortable, borderline romantic/sexual acquaintanceship.
The narrator agrees to help this foreigner find the inspiration he needs for his next comic within Sokcho, even though she believes there is nothing to find. She takes him through the city, to the North Korean border, and along the beaches, trying to show him her home through her eyes, yet Kerrand constantly denies trying the local cuisine or doing things as the locals do. Through all this, the narrator cannot pull herself away from this strange man and becomes obsessed with the drawings he makes when he thinks nobody is watching. She does several questionable things like rummaging through his bag and trash, using his toothpaste, and spying on him secretly.
Simultaneously, the narrator is also struggling in her relationships with her mother and her boyfriend Jun-oh. Her mother cannot seem to see her daughter as a grown adult, while the narrator tries to separate herself from her mother without abandoning her entirely. Her boyfriend only seems to be attracted to the narrator sexually, which is distressing because of the narrator's extreme body dysmorphia. She eventually ends the relationship between them.
The book wraps up quite suddenly, after Kerrand agrees to eat one of the narrator's meals. When the narrator takes the meal to his room, she leafs through Kerrand's sketchbook, and finds a woman with a scar on her leg just like her.

Murph is a security operative on a large ship, watching security cameras located in all of the ship's rooms to prevent incursions and suicides. He boasts the lowest incursion rate and the only suicide rate of 0%. As he watches the cameras, he collects money, occasionally enough to spend a few hours on Way Out's virtual server. On this server, he frequently engages in virtual sex with an avatar named Cat, whom he believes to be a woman living on his ship. He does so through his own avatar, Big Guy.
The story begins with him finishing a security shift. He orders a potato, which is brought to him by a 13-year-old girl. When the girl sticks her hand through a door flap to hand it to him, he examines her hand, noticing how elegant it is. He reminisces about his childhood, noting the fact that children still sleep 7 hours a night and attend school for most of the day, while he only sleeps 14 hours a week, with very scattered amounts of "free time."
He decides that he wants to have sex with Cat in person and erases the penis from Big Guy's character model. He then logs on to the server, which includes a series of portals within Way Out's avatar's mouth. Cat calls him through her portal and he realizes that there is another man with her, an avatar named Shiva, owned by a doctor living in the city proper (rather than the boat). Shiva is frightened and logs off when Cat asks him what the patients' bodies smell like when they're cut open.
Cat and Big Guy then begin engaging sexually. Cat realizes that his penis has been erased, at which point Murph tells her his intentions. Cat agrees to the plan, but says she needs to know what he tastes like first; Cat's avatar then begins eating Big Guy, which pleasures Murph masochistically. The avatar then dies and Murph awakes into reality. Realizing that Cat will show up at his door, he calls his colleague and tells him to watch over his room as he opens his door blindly, without checking his cameras to see what Cat's real-life counterpart looks like first. The story then ends abruptly.

Trilby is a Scottish household spirit living in the hearth of Dougal the fisherman and his boatwoman wife Jeanie. Trilby alternates between taking care of the cottage and boats and playing tricks. He is in love with Jeanie, but only appears when she is half dreaming. When she tells Dougal about him, Dougal calls Ronald, a monk of Balva monastery, who pronounces an exorcism: if Trilby does not leave the cottage, Ronald will bind him in a birch tree in the burial ground for a thousand years. Trilby is not seen again. Jeanie misses him, and dreams of him not as a mischievous child-like being, but as a handsome youthful chief of Clan MacFarlane, who was exiled for disobeying the monks of Balva. Without Trilby, Dougal has bad luck in fishing.
A year after the exorcism, Dougal and Jeanie join a pilgrimage to pray to Saint Columba at Balva monastery, where Dougal means to pray for treasure in a precious casket, and Jeanie to forget Trilby. There, Ronald tells the pilgrims that most of the MacFarlane family is cursed for refusing to pay tribute to the monks, that charity or mercy towards evil is a sin, and asks them to join him in pronouncing a curse on all the spirits of Scotland. Jeanie unveils a painting of John Trilby MacFarlane in the monastery which she recognizes as Trilby, and instead prays to Saint Columba for support for her charity, her decision not to curse Trilby.

When Jeanie admits that Trilby has been banished, due to her, but that she loves him, the man reveals himself as Trilby, and says that Columba was his brother, so her prayers drew him back; he is not afraid of a thousand years of captivity. Trilby jumps overboard when Dougal appears with a jeweled ivory casket that his nets found in the lake. Jeanie brings the casket home, and hears Trilby's voice from within it, asking her to admit she loves him, which will release him from the box, but she refuses, to be faithful to her marriage vows.

She throws herself into an open grave and dies. Her gravestone is marked with her last words, "A thousand years are but a moment to those who are never meant to be separated."

''Moon Witch, Spider King'' the story from a different perspective and a different timeline from ''Black Leopard, Red Wolf.'' In the previous book we saw the years long journeys of a posse, consisting of the Red Wolf, his lover the shape-shifting Black Leopard, a buffalo, a melancholy giant and a witch named ''Solagon'' in search of a boy who might be the key to saving their kingdom. The newest book instead of picking from where Red wolf left, tells the story from the point of view of the 177-year old ''Solagon'' and takes place a century before the previous book. It tells about how ''Solagon'' was a slave years ago and how she acquired her dark powers decades ago, in the process killing her master. It tells about her run-ins with ''Aesi'', known from the previous installment as chancellor to ''Kwash Dara'', alias the ''Spider King'', but here ''Aesi'' exists mostly as a demonic spirit that can dispatch invisible assassins and manipulate people’s minds for its own ends. This book serves as a memoir to the 177-year old witch and her inconsolable life.
In London, an Italian fashion house named Esco Esco is enbroiled in a controversy after selling clothes that incorporate streetwear, being deemed a race-related issue after selling a sweatshirt that reads "Central Park 5". In order to get a more positive outlook for the company, the fashion house contact Alfred (Brian Tyree Henry) and Earn (Donald Glover) to visit them.
The company wants to use Alfred to "properly apologize" to the community by making him part of their diversity advisory committee, but Alfred won't receive money; instead, his participation will result in a charity donation to any founding. Alfred accepts but pressures the designers to grant him free clothing for three years. Earn feels uneasy about the offer, deeming it an "Uncle Tom photo op" but Alfred is happy to receive free expensive clothing. Meanwhile, Darius (Lakeith Stanfield) is approached by Sharon (Tamsin Topolski), the head of hospitality, who is curious about his request to order jollof rice, a meal that no one at the fashion house seems to know. She offers to get the meal and he agrees to take her to the restaurant.
At a press event before announcing the committee, Alfred meets one of the members, a writer/activist named Khalil (Fisayo Akinade). Alfred finds himself uncomfortable when Khalil mentions that they are "apologizing for white people" and will deflect any racism issue. At the press event, Alfred is questioned if racism will be over. When Alfred states that it won't, Khalil steps in to explain that racism "will be done by 2024", earning applause. Meanwhile, Darius and Sharon have arrived at the restaurant, Eko Chops, which specializes in Nigerian food. Sharon is fascinated by the meals, although she is frustrated by the poor Internet service. Later, Darius sees that Sharon quit her job and bought the restaurant so she could now serve a food truck outside, disillusioning him.
At a committee meeting, Alfred struggles in suggesting ideas but is perplexed when the rest of the members just promote their own brands and engage into self-dealing with their products. Alfred then questions the members' own race as to how they are so ignorant of helping their community. Meanwhile, Earn runs into Van (Zazie Beetz), which is their first encounter in some time. Earn confronts her about her absence, when a white woman approaches Van, accusing her of stealing a wig from a nearby store. Earn defends Van just as security guards escort the woman out of the hotel. Earn then lashes out at the hotel's poor service and they are granted a free night at a room, despite Earn not originally planning to stay there.
Back at the meeting, Alfred suggests a "Reinvest in your Hood" campaign, which consists of black people supporting black businesses. Some members actually like the idea, and through some feedback, they finally agree to the idea. However, the end result proves to be a heavy-handed commercial that practically ignores the message, infuriating Alfred, who compares it to All Lives Matter. Khalil takes Alfred outside and explains that companies wouldn't "fund their own demise" by having a community reinvest as it would be more "charity" than "business". He tells Alfred to get his own non-profit organization, just like he did by getting $100,000 from the company. Alfred then leaves in disappointment. At their hotel room, Earn and Van bond and then share a kiss. The next morning, Earn wakes up to discover that Van has left.

Seventy men are shipwrecked on the island , which is inhabited by talking animals who had fled from the descendants of Adam to avoid abuse and exploitation. Believing them to be their slaves, the men attempt to subjugate the animals. The animals demand justice, thus a trial is convened by the island's Muslim governor and the King of the Jinn, Bīwarāsp the Wise. The humans are represented by seven spokespeople, including an Iraqi; a Sri Lankan; a Syrian Jew; a Syrian Christian; a Qurayshi; a Byzantine Greek; and a Shiite Muslim. They unconvincingly argue that mankind is superior to animals.
On the other hand, the animals are led by the bee ( , king of insects); the griffin or anqa ( , king of predatory birds); the lion ( , king of predatory land animals); the simurgh ( , king of birds); the sea serpent ( , king of aquatic animals); the snake ( , king of animals that crawl on the ground); and the unspecified king of the cattle (probably the horse, ). They each appoint one animal to represent their respective species: the bee; the nightingale ( ); the jackal ( ); the parrot ( ); the frog ( ); the cricket ( ); and an unspecified cattle ambassador (perhaps the mule, ).
Throughout the trial, multiple references to the Quran are made; there is also some mention of the Torah and the Gospels. The mule cites Quran 55:[https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=55.10&fromdoc=Perseus%3Atext%3A2002.02.0006 10] to suggest that mankind does not have exclusive rights over creation, whereas the humans cite Quran 11:[https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=11.6&fromdoc=Perseus%3Atext%3A2002.02.0006 6] in rebuttal. The bee claims that according to Quran 16:[https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=16.68&fromdoc=Perseus%3Atext%3A2002.02.0006 68], bees have a skillset superior to that of humans. The animals insinuate that mankind is confused, given the existence of multiple world religions, to which the Persian in attendance invokes Quran 2:[https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=2.115&fromdoc=Perseus%3Atext%3A2002.02.0006 115]: "Whichever path we take, there is the face of God."
The final argument is delivered by a human speaker from the Hejaz, who stresses that only humans will be resurrected during the Last Judgment. The jinn consider the arguments made by both camps; they sympathise with the animals but fear the response of the men, whom they liken to angels. The closing remarks are made by an enigmatic figure described as "Persian by breeding, Arabian by faith, a by confession, Iraqi in culture, Hebrew in lore, Christian in manner, Damascene in devotion, Greek in science, Indian in discernment, Sufi in intimations." The man suggests that humans have yet to fully realise their potential. The trial abruptly concludes with the verdict being in mankind's favour.
Teenage couple Alyson and Troy are looking for a private place to make out, sneaking into a peculiar abandoned structure on the outskirts of town. They come upon a moldy sofa in an otherwise empty room; Alyson removes her shirt, and the pair proceed to initiate sex, but Troy is frightened by what looks to be a metal hand of some sort wrapping its way around the door frame. Fearing that they are being spied on, Troy backs out of the sex, annoying Alyson, who steps out into the hallway for a cigarette. She is grabbed by an unseen creature and dragged away. Troy goes looking for her, and finds her alive but soaked in blood. He reaches out to help her, but a tall woman with sharp teeth and steel scalpels affixed to her fingers leaps on him, opening his stomach and squeezing out his liver and intestines while Alyson screams.
Meanwhile Rachel, a college freshman, is invited to celebrate the completion of her first year with her five friends, Louisa, Dereck, Francis, Leticia and Josh. Rachel has been childhood friends with Louisa for years, but while Rachel is studious and responsible, Louisa is a reputed troublemaker who carries a switchblade knife. She whips out the knife at Josh after he jokes about her being a lesbian, but she then lets him go. Francis has a crush on Leticia and hopes to hook up with her at the party that night, picking up the gang in his van. The six teens are unsure where a good place to party would be, prompting Louisa to suggest the Dyson Chemical Factory at the edge of town, which has been abandoned since the teens were small children.
In the factory, a hobo, Glen, stumbles drunk into the main lobby, looking for a safe place to crash. There he comes across a panicked Alyson, who warns him of Troy being murdered. Glen hugs her and tries to reassure her that she'll be alright, but the murderous woman who killed Troy then grabs Glen and tears out his beating heart, biting it and then attacking Alyson, killing her off-screen by biting her neck and drinking her blood. Rachel and her friends prepare for the party that same night, gathering supplies, and upon arrival, Louisa reveals the factory's history: Dyson Chemical had severely injured a worker in an industrial accident, and the worker became ill from the effects of the unknown toxin she had been exposed to, sent home without compensation. Presumed dead, she later returned to Dyson Chemical and slaughtered each of her colleagues, after which the factory was shut down. Rachel is bothered by the story, but tries to relax at the party, hoping to spend time with Dereck alone. As the gang gets drunk and high on marijuana, Francis and Leticia wander off to a room with a rotting mattress, where they engage in long-winded sex.
As the party winds down, the murderous woman who killed Troy, Alyson and Glen starts attacking the teens. She stabs Josh to death, castrates Francis by squishing his testicles until they pop, and then seeks out any other survivors, causing Rachel, Dereck, Leticia and Louisa to flee. Leticia is cornered by the woman and has her eyes pressed in until she's blinded, while the remaining three teens escape into a hollow corridor. They find that the end of the corridor is sealed up with cinder blocks, and Dereck tries to defend the girls by confronting the killer, only to be knocked unconscious and stabbed in the stomach. Louisa grabs Rachel, preventing her from leaving, and reveals that the killer's name is Alexa; Louisa was Alexa's kid sister, and has been luring victims to the factory for her since she was a child. To Louisa's shock, Alexa, who has no mental faculties left, attacks and kills her. Rachel is finally able to overpower Alexa by knocking her down and stabbing her with her own scalpel-accented hands. Rachel faints, later waking up in a hospital where the doctor informs her that she is the sole survivor of the massacre in the factory. Unbeknownst to Rachel, Alexa has also survived, and is still loose in the factory, waiting for more victims.

A budding photographer, Haruto meets a young, skilled hairdresser, Misaki. He instantly falls in love at the first sight of her and her nervousness.
Misaki reveals that he was her very first client, which he finds endearing. Haruto bends the truth and introduces himself as a photographer.
Haruto continues to return, to get his hair cut by her and the two start talking. One day, Haruto decides to ask Misaki on a date and brings up the topic while getting his hair cut. Unfortunately, he moves his head and leads her to cut his earlobe, making him pass out.
A few days later, a frantic Misaki meets with him to apologise where he brings up the question of a date, to which she agrees. Misaki’s protective older brother does not approve, however, as he only wants what is best for her.
They go on the date to see sakuras, or cherry blossoms, where Haruto reveals that he is not a photographer currently and is at a crossroads. Misaki surprisingly gets furious and exclaims at him to pursue his passion, to not give up easily.
Haruto, flabbergasted but determined, takes the advice seriously. He gets a job at a photo studio and continues to work hard. He then asks her out again and she accepts, much to his delight.
They go out and have the time of their lives, leading to the two of them dating and enjoying each other’s company.
The smooth sailing story, however, comes to a halt here, as Misaki falls slightly ill, which leads to a doctor’s visit where she is diagnosed with progeroid syndrome, a disease that ages her extremely fast. It also is an extreme case for Misaki, leaving her with less than a year to combat the debilitating symptoms.
Misaki, devastated, goes into seclusion and cuts Haruto off. She also quits her hairdresser job and pretends to have found work elsewhere. After a few months of leaving him in the dark, she lies and pretends to have found someone else, breaking his heart.
She is cared for by her brother, who tries everything to cure her, but to no avail. They even try out expensive electromagnetic therapy, which was done by an external clinic that promised results. This, however, ended badly as the therapy was fake and the clinic was scamming their vulnerable patients looking for hope.
A few months into the year, her disease continues to age her rapidly and slow her functions down, which makes her lose hope in life.
Haruto, although heartbroken, tries to move on. He concentrates on his work and bears the fruits of his efforts, which heals him slightly.

The farmer then teases his wife by saying that the ghost knocked twice when he asked about her fidelity.
The story is set against a historical background of ''ca'' 400 BC. In Syracuse, Chaereas falls madly in love with the supernaturally beautiful Callirhoe. She is the daughter of Hermocrates, a hero of the Peloponnesian War and the most important political figure of Syracuse, thus setting the narrative in time and social milieu. Her beauty (''kallos'') overawes crowds, like an earthly counterpart of Aphrodite's, as noted by Douglas Edwards. They are married, but when her many disappointed suitors successfully conspire to trick Chaereas into thinking she is unfaithful, he kicks her so hard that she falls over as if dead. There is a funeral, and she is shut up in a tomb, but then it turns out she was only in a coma, and wakes up in time to scare the pirates who have opened the tomb to rob it; they recover quickly and take her to sell as a slave in Miletus, where her new master, Dionysius, falls in love with her and marries her, she being afraid to mention that she is already married (and pregnant by Chaereas). As a result, Dionysius believes Callirhoe's son to be his own.
Meanwhile, Chaereas has heard she is alive, and has gone looking for her, but is himself captured and enslaved, and yet they both come to the attention of Artaxerxes, the Great King of Persia, who must decide who is her rightful husband, but is thinking about acquiring her for himself. When war erupts, Chaereas successfully storms the Persian stronghold of Tyre on behalf of the Egyptian rebels, and then wins a naval victory against the Persians, after which the original married couple are reunited. Callirhoe writes to Dionysius, telling him to bring up her son and send him to Syracuse when he grows up. Chaereas and Callirhoe return in triumph to Syracuse, where Callirhoe offers prayers to Aphrodite, who has guided the events of the narrative.
Several characters from ''Callirhoe'' can be identified with figures from history, although their portrayal is not always historically accurate. Hermocrates was a real Syracusan general, and did have a daughter (her name is unknown), who married Dionysius I of Syracuse. This Dionysius was tyrant of Syracuse from 405 to 367 BC and not a resident of Miletus. However, Callirhoe's expectation that her son will return to Syracuse after being brought up as Dionysius' own has been connected to the fact that the historical Dionysius I was succeeded in Syracuse by his son, Dionysius II. The historical daughter of Hermocrates died after a violent attack by soldiers; that Callirhoe merely ''appears'' to be dead after being kicked by Chaereas has been seen as a deliberate change allowing Chariton "to resurrect her for adventures abroad".
Chariton's Artaxerxes represents Artaxerxes II of Persia. Since Hermocrates died in 407 BC and Artaxerxes did not come to the throne until 404 BC, Chariton is anachronistic in having Hermocrates alive during Artaxerxes' reign. The hero Chaereas is not a historical figure, although his name recalls Chabrias, an Athenian general who fought in an Egyptian revolt against Persia in about 360 BC. His capture of Tyre may be based on that by Alexander the Great in 332 BC.
Despite the liberties Chariton took with historical fact, he clearly aimed to place his story in a period well before his own lifetime. Tomas Hägg has argued that this choice of setting makes the work an important forerunner of the modern historical novel.
There are echoes of Herodotus, Thucydides, Xenophon, and other historical and biographical writers from the ancient world. The most frequent intertexts are the Homeric epics. The novel is told in a linear manner; after a brief first person introduction by Chariton, the narrator uses the third person. Much of the novel is told in direct speech, revealing the importance of oratory and rhetorical display (as in the presentation before the King of Persia) and perhaps as well the influence of New Comedy. Dramatic monologues are also used to reveal the conflicted states of the characters' emotions and fears (what should Callirhoe do, given that she is pregnant and alone?). The novel also has some amusing insights into ancient culture (for instance, the pirates decide to sell Callirhoe in Miletus rather than in the equally wealthy Athens, because they considered Athenians to be litigious busybodies who would ask too many questions).
The discovery of five separate fragments of Chariton's novel at Oxyrhynchus and Karanis in Egypt attest to the popularity of ''Callirhoe''. One fragment, carefully written on expensive parchment, suggests that some, at least, of Chariton's public were members of local elites.

The film is based on a true story. The story of this film is very painful and touching. The protagonist Shantanu Roy (Sudipta Dey) and his wife Rohini (Somaindu Dey) fight for the love, responsibility, and marital life of the married life as well as the art created by the director (Shantanu Roy). He portrayed a real story written by the director's wife with great care because he realized that no other producer would create such a difficult reality. That's why he wanted to make the film his own and use it as a gift to his wife because he had a different desire for the story which could not be compared to any other meaning. Towards the end of the movie, his wife became seriously ill and, according to doctors, there was very little time for cancer because cancer had taken root in her body. In this difficult situation, he stopped working on the movie and was desperate to heal his wife, but the doctor informed him that his wife's condition was bad and he had very little time. Shantanu's wife really wanted to see the story of the two of them sitting in the cinema hall. The director (Santunu Roy) ends the movie to talk about his sick wife. But the film itself is left-leaning and the censor board is blocking the release of the film by showing some unethical arguments. But the director did not stop. People from different walks of life stood by him and the movie was released as a result of protests and movements. But he can't fulfill his wife's last wish. The two of them can't watch the movie together.
In this confusing situation, the director realizes that cancer has not only settled in the human body but also in our state system. This deadly disease not only kills the living cells of human beings but can also fill our society with darkness. That is why society has to face the light by removing the darkness through movement. The director (Sudipta Dey) gave birth to his second film ‘Her Story’(Bengali: "তার গল্প") out of this realization.

Tom offers Jamie a job with his own employer, and Jamie, again out of options, goes in for the interview, is accepted, and is soon on a plane to Thule Air Base in Greenland.
Thule Air Base turns out to hide the gateway to a parallel Earth, in which evolution took a different turn after the early Mesozoic era, resulting in a planet dominated by impossibly immense creatures whose growth is fueled by internal bio-nuclear reactors. Mankind first became aware of this world in the wake of World War II, when the use of atomic bombs opened temporary portals between the worlds, to which and through which the creatures were attracted by the radiation fallout, on which they feed. After Japanese filmmakers were inspired by rumors of the initial breakthrough to make "Kaiju" movies such as ''Godzilla'' and its successors, the creatures were dubbed Kaiju. Aside from such rumors, their real-life existence has been kept secret by governments around the world, who formed KPS (the Kaiju Preservation Society) to study the Kaiju Earth, prevent additional breakthroughs, and protect the denizens of each world from those of the other.
Kaiju Earth is a torrid world, high in oxygen and radioactive volatiles, dominated by Kaiju and teeming with lesser predators. Sent to Tanaka Base, an outpost in the Kaiju Earth version of Labrador, Jamie supports the scientific staff studying the biota there, particularly the Kaiju "Bella," a brooding mother laying her eggs at the irradiated site of the death of another Kaiju, whose internal atomic pile overheated and exploded—a not infrequent occurrence. Unfortunately, this event weakened the barrier between worlds, and Bella planting herself at the very location the event occurred is keeping the barrier from rehealing. A predatory corporation on the Human Earth side (coincidentally led by Jamie's old boss Rob Sanders), in on the Kaiju secret, takes the opportunity to breach the barrier and move the Kaiju mother and her eggs to the Human side. Jamie and the other KPS team members must somehow cross over themselves and Bella, both to preserve the Kaiju secret and protect both worlds.
Bang Ui-gang is a retired professional killer who has settled down with his wife, Hyeon-soo. One day, Hyeon-soo tells Ui-gang that she is going on a holiday in Jeju together with her best friend, and he is entrusted to take care of 17-year-old Kim Yoon-ji, the stepdaughter of her best friend. Ui-gang at first doesn't like the idea, but eventually gives in.
After sending Hyeon-soo and Yoon-ji's stepmother off in the day, at night Ui-gang fetches Yoon-ji to Hongdae, and then goes home after telling her to stay at her friend's house for a few days. Later at home, he got woken up by Yoon-ji's call and immediately goes to find her, only to realise later that he is fooled by her. Angry, Ui-gang heads home, and he drives away even though he looked back seeing Yoon-ji riding away on a bike, with several others. He decides to turn back to find her, managing to track her eventual location through a tracking device he placed in her wallet earlier. Finding her being threatened by several delinquents, led by Sung-yeon, Ui-gang beats them up and brings Yoon-ji back home.
The next night, Ui-gang and Yoon-ji are on the way back home, passing by the same place where he beat up the delinquents. He is stopped by Detective Lee Young-ho, who tells him that there is a murder case in the venue, and then lets him drive off. The next morning, Detective Lee visits Ui-gang, suspecting him of being a part of the murder, and telling the latter about Yoon-ji's situation. Ui-gang understands her situation, as he recalls a flashback which showed him and a teenage girl who wanted to kill herself; he wanted to know what she wanted and then she asked for a hug from him, which he did, and thereafter she lost consciousness. Sung-yeon calls Yoon-ji, and then Ui-gang intercepts the call and agrees to meet up, as Sung-yeon has the knife that has Ui-gang's fingerprints, which can be trouble for him if it was turned to the police. As Yoon-ji's wallet (with the tracker still inside) is with Sung-yeon, he finds the actual venue, and escapes with the knife after fighting Yuri, a Russian killer and was trained in the Spetsnaz. He returns home, only to find Yoon-ji being kidnapped.
Ui-gang tracked Sung-yeon to an apartment, and mortally wounds her after seeking information from her, about a sex trafficking ring that also involves the Russian mafia, and about someone who has requested for Yoon-ji. He visits a hotel linked to the ring, killed numerous delinquents and escaping from Yuri, who tells him where Yoon-ji would be. Ui-gang and Detective Lee proceeds to where Yoon-ji is, saving her, while telling Detective Lee that he knows the latter is a corrupt cop assisting in the ring.
Ui-gang then gets information from Detective Lee about Park Hyung-joo, who is a part of the ring, and goes to find the latter. He notices an alias "Pig Mama" in Hyung-joo's phone, a woman who is also a part of the ring. After finding out from Hyung-joo about the client who requested for Yoon-ji, Ui-gang kills him. He goes to the mansion where the client lives, killing several bodyguards but gets stopped by Detective Lee, who betrays Ui-gang, and Yuri, then gets turned to the client. The client, Judge Kim, is the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Korea. He askes Detective Lee to finish Ui-gang, but the latter breaks free, killing Detective Lee and Yuri. Having killed all the bodyguards, Ui-gang kills Judge Kim after finding out that Pig Mama is Yoon-ji's stepmother, currently on holiday with Hyeon-soo. He heads to Jeju and kills Pig Mama in the outskirts.
The film ends with Ui-gang, together with Yoon-ji, finding Hyeon-soo at a beach in Jeju. It is also revealed that the teenage girl who appeared in Ui-gang's flashback is Hyeon-soo.

The story of Faglarna describes the adventures of Henry after his death. The film starts with the sound of bells and an unmarked grave, probably belonging to Henry. In the first part of the short film, Henry does not realise that he is dead. He then goes on to lead a very ordinary life. We see him reading a book, sleeping, walking in the woods or crossing a road.
As he progresses through a world that could be likened to purgatory, and as he encounters many people, he becomes aware of his own death. Thanks to his encounters with the angel Gabriel, he will gradually accept this death and understand how he can rest in peace. The origin of the title comes from the fact that every time Henry becomes aware of something, you can see or hear a bird.
At the very end of the short film, Henry will give a monologue in which he states that he never had the chance to "connect with another human being" but that he finally "succeeded". We also hear the sound of bells again, a sign that Henry has finally accepted his own death.
Note that Henry never leaves the camera frame alone throughout the film, except when he accepts his death. This reflects the confinement he is undergoing.

The novel opens with an overview from the narrator of the historical context preceding the Salem witch trials. The narrator describes belief in witchcraft as a universal human trait that was well established amongst educated authorities in the 1690s in both the United Kingdom and British North America. When Puritans fled persecution in England and they colonized New England, they quickly turned to violence to control Quaker colonists and Indigenous Wampanoag. Mary Dyer was executed for her religious convictions and fellow Quaker Elizabeth Hutchinson (based on Anne Hutchinson) cursed their persecutors. A series of events impacting the Massachusetts Bay Colony fulfilled that curse: King Phillip's War, King William's War, epidemics, an earthquake, fires, storms, conflict within the church, and finally, the witch trials. The narrator then introduces the peculiarities of colonial court proceedings and early Puritan leaders, Governor William Phips and Reverend Matthew Paris (based on Samuel Parris).
Paris is grieving for his recently deceased wife. Psychologically vulnerable and superstitious, he centers his life around his ten-year-old daughter, Abigail Paris (based on Betty Parris). She and her twelve-year-old cousin, Bridget Pope (based on Abigail Williams), begin to exhibit what he perceives as demonic behavior. Indigenous neighbors who used to visit the household begin avoiding it and Matthew Paris searches for an explanation. He interrogates Tituba, an Indigenous household servant whom he has enslaved and who lives in the household with her husband, John Indian. Paris accuses Tituba of witchcraft and she is arrested, tortured, convicted, and executed. While undergoing torture, she implicates Sarah Good of the same crime in her confession.
Reverend George Burroughs appears at Good's trial. Of mixed European and Indigenous American ancestry and upbringing, Burroughs is a Puritan minister who has been widowed twice. He witnessed the recent Battle of Fort Loyal while serving as minister in Falmouth (now Portland, Maine), but refused to take sides. He escaped injury by mingling into the crowd of Pequot warriors outside the fort, dressed and speaking as a Mohawk.
Burroughs defends Good in court and criticizes colonial leaders of breaking treaties and waging unjust war with the Iroquois. Despite Burroughs's defense, Good is convicted and at her execution she proclaims her innocence and prophecy that other innocent victims will be executed. Rachel Dyer (a fictional character not based on any historical figures) appears in the crowd and shouts her support for Sarah Good. Rachel is described as a hunchback with red hair. She and her sister Mary Elizabeth Dyer are Quakers and granddaughters of Mary Dyer, the latter taking her middle name from Elizabeth Hutchinson.
Salem resident Martha Corey is accused of witchcraft. By the time of her trial, many more have been arrested for the same crime, and fear of accusation has swept the town. Burroughs unsuccessfully attempts to defend Corey, who is aloof throughout the trial. Following a speech from Increase Mather, Corey is hanged.
Burroughs visits Matthew Paris to investigate the origin of the witch hysteria and finds the household fearful and lifeless. Burroughs then visits the Dyer sisters because of their vocal opposition to the witch hysteria. The three learn that authorities in Salem have issued warrants for their arrest. They flee and are captured en route to the colony of Providence Plantations. While imprisoned and awaiting trial, Burroughs fails to convince the Dyer sisters to issue false confessions in the hope of delaying their own executions until the hysteria passes.
Salem resident Judith Hubbard, who is jealous of Burroughs's affection for Mary Elizabeth Dyer, appears at his trial. She provides spectral evidence by testifying that both of his dead wives have appeared to her as spirits and told her that he murdered them. A boy named Robert Eveleth testifies that Hubbard, Abigail Paris (now dead), and Bridget Pope (who is dying) conspired against Burroughs. Eveleth's testimony is dismissed and Matthew Paris is going mad and unable to provide corroborating testimony. Burroughs is convicted on Hubbard's testimony, but is comforted by Rachel Dyer. She is convicted later the same day.
Burroughs is executed and Rachel Dyer dies in her cell clutching a bible. Their martyrdom breaks the witch hysteria before Mary Elizabeth Dyer or anybody else is executed. The final chapter is followed by an appendix labeled "Historical Facts", in which Neal cites connections between first-hand accounts of the witch trials and the circumstances of the story.

Sometime in the future, a mixed group of humans and human-like androids are sent to research a succession of alien objects that they obtain from the planet “New Discovery”, which is located very far from Earth. Their ship (The Six Thousand Ship) orbits above the planet's surface.Lea, Richard. 2021. Fit for office: A new generation of novelists show up for work. The corporation in charge of the ship sends a group of impartial mediators to conduct an 18 month long interview of the ship's workers to see the impact these objects have on the crew. Tensions rise between the crew's two factions as the objects begin to inspire profound emotional reactions. The objects are all rich sensory articles, which sharply contrast to the insipid, antiseptic lifestyle aboard the ship. The crew members begin to question the meanings of their lives beyond work. Following the final collection of the crew members' statements, the authoritative committee which employs them disintegrates the biological material aboard the ship, including both the humans and the humanoids, citing the effects the strange objects had on the crew.
The book consists of a series of reports collected from the crew members of the ship by mediators from the corporation in charge of the ship. The messages are non-consecutive, and relayed to a nameless administration.https://thebookerprizes.com/sites/default/files/2021-09/Booker%20Int%202021%20Discussion%20Guide_The%20Employees_0.pdf The crew complains about their daily tasks in these memos and reports. Some excerpts from these interviews are missing entirely, others have sections redacted. The messages are out of order, perhaps due to the committee compiling the investigation jumbling the papers together in a pile. These partisan statements expose the visceral reactions experienced by each character and illustrate the gradual changes they experience within themselves.

Sumal, who picked up a screenplay he wrote many years ago, tells Jaliya that his cinematic dream is coming true. Jaliya is surprised and when asked how he can make a lot of money for it, he says that the only valuable thing he has is an old movie projector that his father used for about 40 years in a movie theater, which he bought in memory of his father. Seeing that he would not give up his innocent endeavor, Jaliya also offered to help. According to a newspaper advertisement, the projector will be sold to Ananda Gunaratne, the artist who owns the Cinema Museum. Although he does not discourage Sumal, he also describes the difficulties, risks and experiences of filmmaking. He not only buys Sumal's old cinema projector, but also kindly arranges a place near his film museum for meetings and training. Advertising in a newspaper gathers the team needed for the film where Thilini Samarasinghe is one of the many newcomers.

Doctor Multiverse from Earth-8 had not received contact from Machinehead after his negotiation with Darkseid while planning the crack the multiverse. Justice League Incarnate, led by Calvin Ellis, decided to rescue the Flash until they got separated from the Parademon armies attacking their headquarters and confronting other multiversal threats. When Doctor Multiverse touches the crack, she learns a shocking history and convinced the heroes to let Darkseid win.
She reveals to the heroes and Darkseid that the Great Darkness was responsible for causing multiple catastrophic events because of its desire to end all things. During the birth of the multiverse, the Great Darkness declares war against the Light in an attempt to destroy it. The Great Darkness took possession of the Antimonitor as its champion while facing faceoff against the Light's champion, the Monitor who summons the heroes to stop him resulting in the obliteration of the entire multiverse into a single universe which weakens the Light. As the Darkness attempted to regain control, the Swamp Thing successfully brokered the truce with the Light forcing the Darkness to retreat into slumber. However, the Darkness has other plans as it continues to exert its influence by manipulating Magog, the Anti-Life Entity, Extant, Superboy-Prime, and Mister Mind, resulting to the creation of 52 Earths. When the Multiverse of 52 Earths was created, the truce was broken allowing the Darkness to reawaken as it continues to spread across the multiverse. Darkseid, however, was well aware of its influence and was planning to conquer Earth-0 by altering the prophecy and maintaining the possession of the Anti-Life equation to lure the Darkness so that he might take control of everything. His plan succeeded but at the cost of his life. When Superman activates the Miracle Machine to heal the fabric of the universe, the Darkness reveals itself as it took possession of a fallen monitor Mandrakk but was later defeated when his son Nix Uotan summons the entire heroes. This enrages the Darkness believing that the heroes of the multiverse are much of a greater threat than villains such as Darkseid. As Darkness continually spread its influence further across the multiverse, its encounters a quantum life-form and manipulates him into altering timelines and history from the Heroes of Earth-0. During Justice League Incarnate's confrontation with the Gentry, the primordial entity known as Empty Hand was created out of existence as Darkness' right hand resulting from its truce with the Light. This enables Empty Hand into summoning his Gentry into conquering Earth-7, possessing Nix Uotan, and creating the Oblivion Machine to undo the wish of the Miracle Machine. Then, Darkness summons the bat demon Barbatos as its avatar to sink Earth-0 into blackness by revealing the unknown horrors of the Dark Multiverses which led to the Metal wars. Despite Barbatos' failure, its Darkest knight ascended by taking over the Multiverse but was soon defeated by Wonder Woman allowing the Hands to revert Perpetua's damage and recreate an omniverse, which Earth-0 is no longer the center of it. Doctor Multiverse then reveals Darkseid's plan into taking control of the Great Darkness after taking over Earth-Omega, killing the Quintessence, and cracking open the omniverse, which the heroes thwarted his plans. Doctor Multiverse believed that the only way to defeat The Great Darkness is to let Darkseid win.
The heroes disapprove of this while Darkseid reveals his first plan to control the Darkness is to declare war on Earth-7 and confront Empty Hand. As Thomas Wayne attempt to sedate Doctor Multiverse, he is now possessed by the Great Darkness causing Darkseid to kill him and take Doctor Multiverse's energy with him before teleporting to Earth-7. As the heroes try to intervene, the possessed members attack them under the influence of the Empty Hand which Doctor Multiverse frees them. The Empty Hand manages to overpower Darkseid allowing him to activate the Oblivion Machine and lure Darkseid into the dark void. With Orion now the ruler of Apokolips, he decided to destroy Oblivion Machine which the Justice Incarnate continues to rescue Barry Allen. The heroes enter the void only to discover that Barry is trapped in the twisted reality. As they tried to convince Barry to leave, he refused. Pariah suddenly appears and tries to persuade them of their desire but Doctor Multiverse knows his deception and forced the team to retreat. As Orion departed to Apokolips, Thunderer summons his powers to destroy the Machine decimating Earth-7 in the process before evacuating with the team. Having failed to rescue Barry and the multiverse in jeopardy, the Justice League Incarnate decides to summons Barry's Justice League for aid. Somewhere in the Void, Pariah revealed to Darkseid that despite the Justice League Incarnates' success in closing the portal, the Multiverse-1 and 2 were weakened. This enables the Great Darkness to take control of Darkseid and submit him to its will creating its own Dark Army alongside Ares, Doomsday, Eclipso, Nekron, Empty Hand, and Upside Down Man.

Karen goes to leave and go shopping when she tells her son not to leave the house while she's gone, which he immediately does. This starts a spiral of events.
Meanwhile, Rachel Muta, Arnold Long, and Jeff Black are putting posters around their neighborhood protesting against plastics. A siren goes off that causes them all to fall over and cover their ears. Little to their knowledge, Little Jimmy steals cookies from Gretchel, an old woman who was selling cookies by the road. He eats them on a swing, but chokes until he dies, since the cookies were poisoned.
When Karen Branch gets home, she finds that Little Jimmy isn't anywhere to be seen and isn't responding to her. She takes out items from her grocery bag and places on the counter before hearing a sinister laugh from upstairs. She creeps upstairs with a spatula for self-defense, all while the laughter goes on. Once she reaches the top of the stairs, a zombified version of Little Jimmy kills her with an orange that she had given him to eat before.
Rachel, angry at Arnold, begins to walk away when she is randomly grabbed by Gretchel. Gretchel attempts to get Rachel to buy some cookies but Rachel breaks free and runs away before running into Jeff who is now with Larry. They discuss legends about the old woman before realising the situation that they're in. Rachel remembers that Arnold is still by himself on the sidewalk. They get him but not soon enough before zombies begin to infest the streets.
They run away and seek refuge in a barn. There they find a radio that explains that besides them, there are only four people alive, before three of them die on the radio. In an attempt to get them out, the zombies light the barn on fire. The only exit is blocked and Arnold sacrifices himself for the rest of the group. From here they run to an abandoned drug store, where they are once again met with Gretchel. Jeff knocks her out, which Rachel finds attractive.

He goes up to a cliff where Gretchel is standing and he finds out what led her to do everything she did. Despite this, he doesn't hesitate to slice her in half.
Doing this causes the nexus to break and Larry wakes up, revealing it all to just be a dream, but reality is more of a nightmare. Larry is an insane assylum for the suspected murder/disappearence of six children.

Detective Mae Dunn (Sarah Burns) interrogates Hank (Anthony Carrigan) to question him about the shootout at the monastery. She shows him the pin he gave to Barry, stating that they found it near Moss' corpse, and evidence points to Hank being at the monastery days before the events, linking the cases. Hank says that the pin belongs to the shooter, whom he identifies as Fuches (Stephen Root) instead of Barry, using the alias of a Chechen hitman named "The Raven". Meanwhile, Fuches is revealed to have settled at a cabin in Chechnya and is constantly guarded by Chechens while the situation calms down.
Gene (Henry Winkler) is also called for interrogation and while he claims Barry was involved in all the bad things that happened to him, including deciding to close the theater, the police refuse to take his accusations seriously. Sally (Sarah Goldberg) now stars in and writes her own TV series, ''Joplin'', a family drama that deals with abuse, although some network executives are still unconvinced about the angle the series is going for. Barry, who took a job at the dark web to kill a woman's husband, visits Sally onset and hallucinates Sally being shot by an unseen shooter. Furthermore, Barry and Sally's relationship is shown to have become lifeless, with Sally's priorities now mostly focused on her show.
Barry visits Hank, who is living with and dating Cristobal (Michael Irby). Barry asks for work, citing his struggle, but Hank refuses, unwilling to cooperate with him after the events at the monastery. Barry receives a text from Gene, who wants to meet with him the next morning. Gene loads a gun and in the morning, bids farewell to Leo (Andrew Leeds) and his grandson, who are both unaware of his intentions; however, Leo becomes suspicious of his demeanour. Barry and Gene meet at the closed theater, where Gene states his knowledge of Moss' murder and prepares to use the gun, but he accidentally spills out the bullets and the chamber. Barry then takes Gene to the outskirts, intending to kill him. Gene pleads for his life, saying they can go through this and that he can "earn" forgiveness. Barry hesitates but then has an idea, telling Gene to get into the trunk.
Barry (Bill Hader) buys food for Gene (Henry Winkler), forcing him to eat and stay in the trunk of his car. He then visits Sally (Sarah Goldberg) in the writers' room for her new series, hoping that she could get a role for Gene and give him a purpose in life. However, Sally states that her bosses don't want to work with Gene, deeming him "past his time" and difficult to work with. Barry then has a nervous breakdown and viciously screams at her in front of everyone before leaving.
Desperate, Barry asks casting director Allison Jones to get an audition for Gene. She states that Gene is too difficult to work with but gives Barry an audition for a TV series. Meanwhile, as Cristobal (Michael Irby) is about to buy lemonade from kids across the street, black SUVs suddenly intercept him. His father-in-law, crime lord Fernando (Miguel Sandoval), steps out and greets him. He takes him to an Airbnb, stating that he wants Cristobal to aid in eliminating the Chechens (believing they were responsible for the shooting at the monastery) and then go back home to his wife and kids, making Cristobal feel nervous about Hank (Anthony Carrigan).
Barry's outburst seems to distract Sally while at rehearsal. One of her colleagues, Katie (Elsie Fisher), wants to report Barry, but there is nothing she can do since Barry does not work on the series and there was no physical violence during his outburst. To complicate matters, a similar series that deals with abuse will premiere soon, so the network decided to move up the premiere of ''Joplin'' and wants Sally to start doing press. That night, Fernando's henchmen raid Hank's plant shop, but Hank and his men managed to leave in time thanks to a tip from Cristobal. Hank and Cristobal meet at their house, where Cristobal tells him to flee as Fernando will kill him, ending their relationship.
After Barry auditions for his role, he asks for a role for Gene. He is informed that Gene earned a bad reputation in the industry after he brought a real gun to the ''Full House'' set and insulted Jones when he failed to get a role in ''Family Ties''. Barry then proclaims that Gene helped him in finding himself through his class, and his speech convinces the casting directors to get a role for Gene and himself. He then calls Sally to tell her the news; she apologizes for being dismissive earlier, but Barry just brushes it off and doesn't acknowledge his own explosive outburst, leaving her speechless. Then, as he opens the trunk, he discovers that Gene has escaped.
Gene runs through the suburbs, jumping through the fences. In one instance, he is attacked by a pack of dogs in a backyard. He then reaches a waitress outside a shop to ask for help. She doubts his story and pretends to get him a taxi through a phone before going back inside. Gene then sees Barry heading towards him and starts running, when another car suddenly crashes with Barry's car. Gene then flees to his house but is shocked to discover that Barry is already there. While Leo (Andrew Leeds) leaves the room, Barry informs Gene about their new roles, telling him to seize this second chance or he will kill Leo and his grandson. A silent Gene agrees. Barry then states he loves Gene and forces him to say the same to him. Barry then asks him to repeat the phrase.
At their trailer, Barry (Bill Hader) and Gene (Henry Winkler) are given their make-up when the series' showrunner, Brian, enters.

Barry forces Gene to thank them.
At his heroin operation center, Batir (JB Blanc) is angry at the attack by the Bolivians, despite the heroin staying safe. He blames Cristobal (Michael Irby) and expresses interest in killing him. Hank (Anthony Carrigan) suggests using their "scapegoat" in Chechnya, Fuches (Stephen Root), to help them. He calls Fuches to inform him that he can now safely return to America, even though Fuches seems happy with shepherding the goats at his cabin. Even after Hank lies and states that Barry is no longer a problem, Fuches decides to stay in Chechnya and hangs up, prompting Batir to keep going with his plan. Meanwhile, Cristobal convinces Fernando (Miguel Sandoval) to not attack and just leave back to Bolivia instead. Fernando intends to take his men to Johnny Rockets and tell them the news there.
Sally (Sarah Goldberg) and Katie (Elsie Fisher) start the press junket for ''Joplin'', conducting interviews with ''E! News'', ''Access Hollywood'', and other media outlets. Sally is surprised at how short the interviews are and they contain irrelevant questions, such as who will be the next Spider-Man. In their trailer, Gene questions Barry about murdering Moss and about the person who took him to see Moss' body. Gene blames himself for her death, stating that if he didn't bring up Barry's monologue at his cabin, she would have never suspected Barry and would therefore still be alive.
Batir buys a bomb, intending to kill Cristobal with it. Hank convinces him that it is not Cristobal who is a threat, but Fernando. Nevertheless, Batir orders Akhmal (Turhan Troy Caylak) to plant the bomb on Cristobal's house. Hank calls Barry to help him but he refuses to cooperate. Barry is then called by Fuches, who apologizes for his actions, although Barry refuses to apologize for the monastery attack and ruining his operations. Fuches then mocks Barry's new status with Gene, stating that he ruined his life. Meanwhile, Katie confides in Natalie (D'Arcy Carden) that she feels uncomfortable around Barry. Natalie tries to convince Katie that Barry is a good person, but Katie is only more unnerved when she learns that Barry had lashed out prior in his acting classes and that he killed people during his service. When Katie's interview addresses Sally's relationship with Barry, Katie speaks positively of him.
As they film their scene, Gene punches Barry on the set, telling him to stay away from him and his family before leaving the set. Barry decides to accept Hank's job, to Batir's annoyance. Back in Chechnya, Fuches expresses the desire for revenge against Barry. His caretaker tries to convince him to abandon the idea, using an old fable about forgiveness. However, Fuches misses the point of the fable and intends to strike back at Barry.
A woman named Julie (Annabeth Gish) arrives home and has a phone call with her husband, with both agreeing to meet soon after. However, the man is shot dead by Barry (Bill Hader), with the scene revealed to be the first scene of the series. In the present day, Fuches (Stephen Root) visits Julie and her son, Kyle (Alexander Macnicoll), offering to give them information on his murder. Fuches also visits Ryan Madison's father (Michael Bofshever), trying to make him see that Barry "stole" Ryan's life.
A paranoid Gene (Henry Winkler) tries to convince Leo (Andrew Leeds) to leave Los Angeles but Leo refuses. Gene is also contacted by his agent, Tom Posorro (Fred Melamed), for the slap at the set. Gene expects the crew to fire him, but they actually loved his scene and want him to return in an extended role. While shopping, they run into Joe Mantegna, who shows them a ''Variety'' article where the show's producers highlighted Gene in a positive way. Tom advises Gene not to squander this chance to be forgiven by Hollywood for his past actions, but Gene insists he must leave Los Angeles. Barry meets with Hank (Anthony Carrigan) to orchestrate the assassination of Fernando (Miguel Sandoval) but they are pressured by Hank's henchmen to kill all Bolivians to avoid any repercussions. Hank arranges the plan so that Cristobal (Michael Irby) is absent from the house.
Barry arrives at Fernando's house, pays off the lemonade stand girls to leave the scene, and plants the bomb at the crawl space. However, when he leaves and activates the app, the bomb fails to detonate. Barry spends the night contacting the app's IT team and fails to witness that Cristobal arrived at the house. Inside, Fernando reveals to Cristobal that he suspected Cristobal was cheating on his daughter and reveals that he knows about the message Cristobal sent to Hank about their raid. He then gives Cristobal an ultimatum: either Cristobal kills Hank or Fernando will kill Cristobal. Cristobal flees just as the bomb finally detonates and kills everyone inside. Barry escapes in the car and finds a shocked Cristobal injured.
Sally (Sarah Goldberg) arrives at the premiere of ''Joplin'', stressing over how it will play out and that Barry will be unable to attend. Surprisingly, she keeps herself calm during the premiere and the pilot receives critical acclaim, in contrast to the rival show receiving scathing reviews. She then gives a conference, giving credits to Gene, Barry, and Lindsay (Jessy Hodges), but neglects to give Katie (Elsie Fisher) any kudos. When the conference ends, Katie tells Sally that Barry was violent towards Sally and worries that he might hurt her, leaving Sally speechless.
Barry takes an injured Cristobal to Hank, who thanks him and gives him the money. He then visits Gene at his house and apologizes for taking him hostage, offering him the money and stating he will never see him again.

Thomas wants to take the coffin directly to the church, but the other siblings convince him to join them at the pub. They are greeted by a karaoke night at the pub. Thomas and Sheila share a drink where Sheila is surprised to learn that Thomas plans to become her caretaker. A karaoke night in the pub interrupts the scene when one patron, the new father Duncan, stands to sing about how everyone should forgive each other and pair up to have children (Every Cunt Should Love Every Cunt). Thomas is moved to the mic and begins to poorly sing a song in tribute to his mother. When Duncan begins laughing at the performance, Michael starts a brawl that causes everyone to get kicked out of the pub.
Outside the pub, youngest brother John insists he and Michael chase after Duncan only to discover that Michael was stabbed by Duncan in the fight. Michael tells John to take him to a friend who can heal the wound. At the church, Michael and Sheila arrive from the pub with their mother's coffin where Michael reveals his plans to stay in the church overnight with the coffin. Sheila refuses.

Back at the church, Thomas attempts to glue back together the statue of the Virgin Mary with minimal success.
John, still on a mission to kill Duncan, seeks out his cousin Tanga and asks him to help him get a gun. Tanga is resistant to help and takes John along with him while he fulfills orders as a food delivery man. At the door for the order, Tanga has a terse and untipped delivery with the customer, ultimately getting cut off when he is trying to tell a joke to the customer's wife. Tanga angrily explains to John that this customer has treated him poorly for years. John uses Tanga's anger to convince him to help him get revenge on Duncan (Are You Gonnae Take That?).
In the culmination of act 1, all of the siblings go across the stage lamenting their current situations over the sounds of the carnival Sheila is at (Scream If You Wanna Go Faster). Thomas completes his reconstruction of the statue, Sheila gets stuck on a malfunctioning ride high in the air, Michael leaves his ex-wife's house profusely bleeding, and John obtains a shotgun.
The second act opens with two curmudgeonly pub owners attempting to kick everyone out at closing time (Time Is Time). A struggling Michael enters and watches the pub owners berate one of the papergirls who was attempting to sell papers to drunk customers. Michael fights with the pub owners and they lock him in their basement. Back at the carnival, Sheila tells the audience how she was stuck in the ride for several hours until she was helped down by Carole (Ram It Again). Meanwhile, Michael has a partly hallucinated interaction with the other people who have been thrown in the pub owner's basement (Why Fight It?). Michael and the others are given keys by the papergirl who had stolen them on Michael's behalf after he stood up for her. They escape.

Sheila tells Carole and her mother that she is actually avoiding her mother's funeral and asks them if she should go at all (Up To Me).

Thomas is alone at the church when the priest and funeral attendees begin to come in. His siblings are still missing as he starts the service. Sheila enters and watches the service. Finally, John and Michael enter. Michael collapses from his injury and Sheila and John leave to rush him to the hospital. They ask Thomas to come, but he stays and finishes the service, ultimately attempting to carry the coffin out by himself and failing.

A family of moonshiners loads several jugs of illicit whiskey onto a horse-drawn wagon. They leave to make a transaction. A government agent ("The Revenue Spy") observes their departure and heads after them on horseback. The agent observes the family trading the moonshine for corn, thus securing the evidence. The agent heads back to notify his colleagues, and they all leave to make the arrest. Meanwhile, the moonshiners go to work on their still. Significant footage is devoted to showing the methods and procedures of operating the still, which adds a documentary dimension to the film. The lookout is ambushed and apprehended by the government agents, who proceed to have a gunfight with the two outlaws operating the still. One of the outlaws is killed and the other flees, only to be shot by another agent. In retribution, the outlaw's wife kills the agent. The final scene shows the outlaw dying in his wife's arms. The final intertitle reads "The Law Vindicated" but the film appears to portray the outlaws in a sympathetic light, undermining the moral message.
As the Bosnian War rages on, a young woman called Aida sends letters describing her experiences throughout the conflict as she, as a video editor for foreign news outlets, maintains an in-depth view of the events. Her letters have become more scarce, causing the narrator to fear that she has died.
Her letters begin with a description of running between two points, through an area covered by a sniper, followed by a description of Sarajevo's war-torn landscape. The narrator then interjects, speaking on the scarcity of Aida's letters and his suspicions regarding her death, as such information would reach him on a considerable delay.
Once the narrator's interjection passes, the focus returns to Aida, who mentions her aunt Fatima's death due to a medicine shortage as the asthma medication she depended on could not reach her, leading to her suffocation. Due to the risk of being shot or injured, Aida put off burying her until later.
Aida's letter then begins to cover Kevin, a cameraman from Chicago, the same area the narrator now lives in. Kevin regularly covers territories in a state of war. His more grounded stories cause Aida to enjoy his company and eventually become closer to him, as the events he films line up with her own occupation and needs. Kevin echoes her sentiment that the goriest, more compelling events filmed will never be broadcast, as she had experienced a similar sort of censorship when editing footage for foreign networks. This blockage led to her storing the worst of the events filmed on a tape that only she has access to.
Aida describes a dream where she watches a woman performing a pantomime of her, though she believes that it is not quite accurate, due to the language spoken by said woman.
The narrator then interjects, drawing parallels between Aida's descriptions of war and loneliness and his own cockroach-ridden Chicago apartment. He believes the cockroaches to be a part of his hallucinations caused by his own loneliness, though he is not entirely sure of it. He expresses some connection to Sarajevo, but does not recognize buildings shown to him by a friend. He is displeased with the letters he writes to her, wishing to speak more of himself rather than what he considers to be vapid anecdotes from his new life in the United States. He describes himself as having some trouble with English, as well. He believes words to be limited in their ability to express.
Aida's letters resume, as she speaks of growing closer to Kevin due to his detachment from the environments he filmed in, and the relatability of his stories to her own experiences. She mentions a lack of electricity due to the conflict. She describes the relations as carnal and joyless, however. In addition to this, Aida mentions having put her aunt in a new room prior to her burial. Her corpse would remain there for a week.
The narrator once again mentions his ongoing mania through a hallucination of cockroaches ascending his legs, leading to him requesting help from his janitor.
Aida continues, voicing her now flipped sentiments toward Kevin for the same detachment she began to love him as a result of. This stemmed from his refusal to help a gravely injured woman who he had filmed having her arms detached as she had been gesturing for help. Aida decides to add this scene to her secret tape. She then describes the television studio she sleeps in, a large, dark room filled with cameras that act as tripping hazards, where electricity is produced by a gasoline-powered generator.
The narrator speaks of the Red Cross routes through which he would commonly send letters to Aida, though the letters take a long time to arrive as a result. He feels that due to this, by the time she has received the letter sent, he has changed enough to render to sentiments he depicted the months prior null. He changes often, leading to his sentiment that all that he writes becomes a lie. This is why he pursues such shallow, past topics for his letters, admitting to the fact that it acts as a mechanism of cowardice to make him feel like his and Aida's lives occur in tandem.
Aida's aunt began to produce a stench so pungent and inescapable that once perfumes stopped masking it, they dumped her out of a window during a time between shelling sessions. Aida still indulges in common experiences with Kevin.
Upon seeing images of destroyed buildings in Sarajevo shown to him by a friend who asked him if he could identify the architecture, the narrator begins to see them as empty, being unable to recognize any.
Aida outlines the experience of sprinting through a sniper-covered zone, then mentioning the picture she sent the narrator depicting herself in front of a library in a bulletproof vest. the purchase of said vest became one of her happiest recent memories, as it would make it harder for snipers to kill her; they would need to hit a clean shot to her head, as her body would be protected. For a similar reason, Aida would cut her hair short.
The narrator has stopped receiving letters from Aida, admitting that he has begun to write them himself. He wants idea to be alive, assuring himself that he will one day approach his mailbox to see it full with her letters and that she is writing them as he writes his own material.
Aida produces a comparison between rape and a sniper bullet, believing that death via a shot to the head invites instant death, while rape violates the body and produces a slow, grotesque death. She would rather be raped after she is fully dead, as she would like to maintain her body until she dies. She has begun taking different routes to visit her parents as a sniper has begun to recognize her paths and expects her.
The narrator relays watching cockroaches scurry about his residence until he can no longer reach them beneath his futon. He wonders about the engine that keeps them moving, likening such a drive to Aida's sprints through sniper territory.
Aida explains the sport murder of dogs by the snipers, an action performed out of boredom. She takes Kevin on a tour, afraid that the same boredom affecting the sniper may finds its way to him, leading to his departure. Both herself and Kevin are disconcerted by the silences between bombing rounds. She tells Kevin that she is pregnant.
The narrator feels trapped and fear the that the spiders lining his room may inject him with their poison.
Aida witnesses stray dogs tearing her aunt's corpse apart. Her hair is now gray, as she asks the narrator to write to her further.
The narrator bisects a cockroach with a knife, watching its halves flail.
Aida's childbirth fails, as she attempts to contact Kevin to no avail.
The narrator's Polaroid camera documents his residence, though he had bought it for such a purpose; to view his objects without his own influence.
Aida once again describes the rush of running through a sniper zone – a rush that fades as quickly as it arose, upon crossing the dangerous area. She states that amongst the viscera of failed traversers one may find blood and limbs and in one's own pockets a "worthless" coin.

Unspoken rivalries and an age gap threaten to make the sisters more distant, especially since Kate is becoming a teenager while Joss is still interested in childish things. Moreover, Joss is often treated as the "perfect" sister, while Kate is often criticized by their parents.
When Kate and Joss finally have the money to rent their horse for Joss's upcoming birthday, they try to build the horse a shed with the help of their younger best friend, Tootie. Eventually realizing that the construction project isn't feasible after a storm blows the shed over, the three girls decide to keep the horse in the garage. Joss is given the horse, named Prince, for a week-long rental from eccentric neighbours Mr. and Mrs. Essig. Mrs. Pemberthy, the sisters' nosy alcoholic neighbour, does not approve of the horse, but this does not deter the girls, who are determined to spend Joss's birthday happily. They plan a picnic, climbing into a tall old tree to eat at the top of it. When Joss attempts to look out to the distance and watch for Prince, she slips from the treetop and falls, dying instantly.
Kate's story concludes with the various reactions of the people around her to the loss of Joss. Mrs. Pemberthy attempts to make amends in myriad strange ways, while the Essigs respond with kindness and personal anecdotes. Tootie, too young to understand her own grief, tries to learn. Kate finds herself unable to move on from the accident, and admits that she no longer expects herself to move on either, although she tries to make peace with Joss's death and continues to write when she can.
Yuta Ito receives a smartphone for his birthday. Shortly after opening his present, Yuta's terminally ill mother assigns him the task of filming her and compiling a movie about her in the event of her death. After she dies, Yuta premieres the movie at his school but is met with heavy derision over his decision to end the film with him running away from an exploding hospital. Bullied and ostracized, Yuta decides to commit suicide by jumping from the roof of his mother's hospital. He's stopped by a girl named Eri, who reveals she actually loved his movie and urges him to make another one. The two work together to bring this to fruition, alternating between production and marathoning various movies for inspiration and education. They decide on making the movie a semi-documentary about themselves, but with various exaggeration and fictional elements, most prominently the idea of Eri being a vampire.
Yuta and Eri grow closer as time goes by until Eri falls unconscious while the two were playing at a beach. Eri is revealed to also be terminally ill like Yuta's mother. A depressed Yuta is discouraged from attempting any more progress on his movie. However, his father encourages him to push forward, while also revealing to the reader that Yuta's mother was actually abusive towards her son and husband. The film she had Yuta make was an attempt to either capitalize on her illness if she survived, or memorialize her in a positive light if she died.
Yuta and Eri complete their movie, not long before Eri dies. Yuta screens his new movie, which is met with praise this time around. Yuta is later confronted by one of Eri's friends, and the two admit that Eri was not the idealized version Yuta filmed and edited for their movie, but both agree they prefer to remember their mutual friend this way.
Since then, Yuta spends time balancing his normal life with his obsession to recut Eri's movie. Years later, an adult Yuta suffers the loss of his wife, child, and father in a car accident. Losing the will to live, Yuta had decided once more to attempt suicide at the screening room where he and Eri would marathon movies. Arriving there, Yuta discovers a still alive and youthful Eri. Eri reveals that she really is a vampire who repeatedly experiences memory loss caused by cycles of brain death throughout her eternal life. The Eri from her previous life had left specific instructions for her future incarnations as well as the movie she and Yuta made to ensure that she always remembers him forever. His will to live restored, Yuta bids farewell to Eri and nonchalantly leaves as the building the screening room was housed in explodes much like in the ending to his movie about his mother.
The game's plot is structured in 26 episodes and takes place in 1971 in Setagaya, Tokyo, in the suburb of Fuji no Hana. It starts with the ten year old Sohta, who has recently moved into town and whose parents own a dry-cleaning shop, being sent on an errand but forgetting about it. As he ventures through town, he meets various classmates, against whom he plays a trading-card game called "Monster Cards", and other residents. The episodes are non-linear and involve individual quests.
The overarching story of the game is presented in a magic realist manner, and involves the sudden and inexplicable appearance of massive fictional superheroes and kaiju that battle every Friday outside of town. As a tokusatsu show is also filmed in the same town, it is unclear whether it is a supernatural phenomenon or a giant hoax orchestrated by the townspeople.
Nathaniel, a twelve-year-old boy in 1970s Ontario, lives with his older sister Cid, his younger sister Queenie, and his single mother, who is the main breadwinner of the household. The children's father left them when they were younger, something that Nathaniel still secretly resents. He and Cid decide to take Queenie to adopt a free pony on the outskirts of town, and they hitchhike to the farm where the pony is being offered. Riding the pony back, Queenie falls and breaks her arm. A rude local curmudgeon agrees to let the children keep the pony at his own barn, on the grounds that the children make up for the cost by looking after his other horses. Nathaniel and Cid take Queenie home, and their mother, furious, fights with Nathaniel, causing him to flee the house and call his mother a "witch". The two later reconcile, an event that causes Nathaniel to reflect on his own maturity. The children name the pony Smoky (after its gray coat colouring), and spend much of their time after school at the local barn.
Nathaniel recalls seeing the release of ''Star Wars'' at the movie theatre, and also the rejection he faces from an older girl, Cheryl, whom he has a crush on. Cheryl is upper-class, and sees no viability of a long-term relationship with a working-class boy. When in the house one day, Nathaniel accidentally knocks over and crushes all of Cid's beloved ceramic animal figurine collection, causing her to cry, and feeling terrible, he seeks out a new animal figurine within his budget to give his sister for Christmas. He buys a tiny fawn in a basket, but the basket is squished. Cid adores it anyway, and the two siblings make up. Nathaniel realizes that the extra cost of the ceramic fawn would not be such an expense to him if his father had remained with the family, and angrily breaks down outside one day, believing that he's seen a man who looks just like his father living with another family, with a new wife and children.
The barn catches fire one day, and Smoky is saved, but the children no longer have anywhere else to keep the beloved pony. Nathaniel realizes that they may have to give Smoky up for the pony's own welfare, and he reflects on his own class status as a low-income Canadian, as well as his own impending teenage years.

To find Imabelle, Jackson's only recourse is his estranged brother, Goldy. Gldy canvases the low-life joints in the neighborhood, looking for the three con men. At Big Kathy's brothel, Goldy learns the details of the gold mine scam the three criminals are going to run.

As Hank raises his gun, Grave Digger shots him dead, and Slim is found dead in the trunk, murdered by the other two because he wouldn't let them take the ore.
Jackson isn't detained because Mr. Clay made his bail and dropped the charges for stealing his $ 500.

She sets fire to the car of an Indian philanthropist, Anand Mehta, in retaliation for burning Pakistan's flag. The management board of her university asks her to apologize to him. As Afreen does not like to say sorry to Indians, the philanthropist gives her two choices: either to give him 1 Million (10 Lakhs INR) as compensation or go to prison. Being a stubborn and unapologetic patriot, she decides to compensate him and goes back to Pakistan to meet her grandfather, Pakistan Army Brigadier Tariq, for giving her the money to compensate him. However, upon her arrival in Pakistan, she finds out that her grandfather passed away. In his will, he asks her to deliver a letter, which he could not, written in 1965, by Indian Army Lieutenant Ram to his lover, Sita Mahalakshmi of India. Upon successfully doing so, she will inherit his wealth. Though relucant at first, Afreen agrees to deliver the letter to her, so that she can inherit Tariq's wealth.
She goes to Hyderabad in search of Sita. She is accompanied by Balaji, her senior at the university in London. She reaches the address, only to find that to be a ladies college. She asks Subramaniyam, who has been working there for more than twenty years, about Sita. He tells Afreen that the college was the royal palace of the Nawab of Hyderabad once which was donated by Princess Noor Jahan for the education of girls. He also adds that nobody with the name of Sita was there, twenty years ago. Clueless, Afreen is unable to find Sita without any details. Upon getting an idea, she goes in search of Ram, instead, and gets to the know the address of Lieutenant Vikas Varma, who was in Ram's regiment, in Kashmir. Afreen upon meeting him, asks him about Ram. She later meets Ram's friend Durjoy Sharma and Ram's superior Vishnu Sharma and learns Ram's story.
In 1964, Mujahideen, who sent the teenagers to Kashmir, gives them the whereabouts of the Indian Army. Major Selvan, after coming to know about them, orders the army to catch and kill the Pakistani teenagers, as they can compromise the safety of the Indians, in Kashmir. However, their plan backfires as Kashmiri Muslims, in the area, who thought of the youngsters as their own, attacked every soldier responsible for killing the youngsters. Knowing that this would happen, Mujahideen steps over into Kashmir and brainwashes the Kashmiri Muslims.
The enraged Muslims set fire on the houses of Kashmiri Pandits in Agarta. Ram, aware that they are under the influence of Mujahideen, tries to stop them. Ram captures the informer and reveals the truth to the Kashmiri Muslims. After coming to know of the truth, they apologize for trying to incite a religious riot and help the Indian Army in putting out the fires. This becomes national news and everybody comes to know about this. Additionally, Ram and his fellow regiment mates become national heroes.
An Indian reporter, Vijayalakshmi, comes to interview them, through which she comes to know that Ram is an orphan. The next day, on the radio, she tells everybody about Ram and asks everyone in India to send their love to him. As a result, Ram receives a lot of letters from people across India, acknowledging him as their own brother and son. He is overjoyed to know that he now has a big family and starts writing letters to reply to all of them. One of them is a letter, written by Sita Mahalakshmi, addressing him as her husband. He is surprised and regularly receives letters from her with no address.
One day, Vikas and he take the same train as Sita, based on the minute details provided by her in the letters. He searches the entire train and is able to find her. He repeats a riddle, written in her letter, so that she can recognize him. He gives her his friend's landline number and leaves the train. Upon his arrival at his friend, Durjoy Sharma's house, he gets to know that the phone has been dead for a week. Sita comes in search of Ram, at Durjoy's house. They meet and Ram takes a picture of her, discreetly.
She leaves yet again without giving him an address. Ram then goes to a magic show in search of Sita and meets her friend, who reveals that Sita has been writing many letters to him but posted only few of them. He gets to know that Sita is a dance teacher, living in Princess Noor Jahan's palace in Hyderabad, to teach her Kathak. He enters the palace with the help of Subramaniyam and meets Sita. He learns that he saved her from riots, in Agarta, and that it was her first encounter with him. However, he was not able to see her face back then.
It is later revealed that, Sita is none other than Princess Noor Jahan. Her marriage alliance is fixed with the Prince of Oman, in order to save her family's factories and businesses that were captured in Oman. She goes to bid her final goodbye to Ram, but ends up accompanying him the next four days, where they meet his family (the ones that wrote him the letters). Sita and Ram are spied by a journalist, who clicks their pictures together. Later, Ram drops off Sita at the palace and leaves to Kashmir. The pictures get published in the newspaper, revealing the Princess's love for a common man. Sita reveals to her brother that the news is true and cancels her alliance. She leaves to Kashmir for Ram. They spend some time together and Noor meets Ram's fellow mates, as Sita. They go to dinner and meet Vishnu Sharma and his family. However, they are attacked by the youngster seeking revenge for the earlier encounters. They capture him and obtain the precise location of Mujahideen. Ram promises the youngster that he will rescue his younger sister, Vaheeda, from Mujahideen.
The army plans a secret mission, in order to gun down Mujahideen, and also warns the soldiers that if they get caught, they will be disowned by the army and declared as traitors. Ram, Vishnu Sharma, and his team leave for the operation, by crossing the Indian border, and successfully execute Mujahideen. However, Brigadier Tariq gets alarmed by the fires that started as a result of the cross-firing, and starts for their location. Ram and his team are about to leave, when Ram hears a cry of a girl and realizes that it is of Vaheeda's. He goes in to save her.
However, Ram, along with Vishnu Sharma, are captured by the Pakistan Army, while the other soldiers escape successfully. Ram hands over Vaheeda to Brigadier Tariq. They are tortured mercilessly to reveal the coordinates to the Indian Army base, in Kashmir, but the Army General takes pity on Ram and Vishnu, and provides them with care. The Pakistani soldiers, one day, while using brute force on them, are able to get Vishnu to reveal the coordinates of the Indian army base to them, in exchange for his freedom and not harming his family. Vishnu gets released, but they hang Ram, in order to demoralize the Indian army. The Indian army bases in Kashmir are destroyed, as a result, and Ram is branded as a traitor. Before his execution, Ram writes a letter to Sita and asks the Army General to deliver it to her.
In 1985, Afreen learns that the Army General was in fact her grandfather, Tariq. Additionally, the child, whose life was saved by Ram during the fire, is Afreen herself. A changed Afreen, with a heavy heart, delivers the letter to Sita, through Balaji, where they learn about Ram's innocence and also finds the newspaper clipping attached to it, about "Princess Noor Jahan of Hyderabad being in love with a common man". Both Afreen and Balaji realize that Ram knew of Sita's true identity as a Muslim and did not care. Alas, with Ram's letter and Afreen, as evidence and witness, an enquiry is ordered on Vishnu Sharma and his regiment. However, out of disgrace, he shoots himself with his service revolver. Sita manages to prove Ram's innocence and restore his name and honour in the Indian Army.

Tsuyoshi Manase is a young Japanese private stationed on the island of Leyte in the Philippines during World War Two. Separated from his unit, Manase falls in with a charismatic captain and his company as they trek through the wilderness. They find a group of starving Japanese soldiers holed up in a cave. Because food is scarce and many of the soldiers are near death, the captain decrees that all of those who cannot feed themselves are to be killed including an older lance corporal who had been talking to Manase about stones. He tells Manase that “Even the smallest stone in a riverbed has the entire history of the universe inscribed upon it.” Manase’s memories become unclear at this time. He cannot remember if he killed the lance corporal. His next memories are of being a POW in an American military camp.
After his return to Japan at the end of WWII, Manase returns to his family home in Chichibu with his wife and two sisters. He opens a bookstore and takes up rock collecting in his free time, inspired by the words of the lance corporal. He converts the storehouse on the property into a workshop where grinds, polishes, and displays his rocks. Eventually, Manase’s two sisters marry and leave the family home. Manase himself also marries a local girl. His mother dies leaving the two of them alone until the birth to their first son, Hiroaki. Takaaki, the second son arrives a few years later.
As he grows up, Hiroaki also becomes enamored with rocks and spends time with his father collecting them. Manase and Hiroaki form a bond through this shared interest, something which Manase never has with his other son Takaaki. One summer day, when Manase is out of town, Hiroaki is found stabbed to death in a nearby quarry where he was looking for rocks. He had multiple wounds to his face and upper body; the police inform the family that there has been a series of similar crimes in nearby prefectures. The killer is never found. In the aftermath, Manase’s wife becomes an abusive alcoholic who eventually divorces him while his younger son Takaaki grows up in the care of Manase’s sister. Manase gives her a monthly stipend for his expenses but has no other contact with the boy.
Overwhelmed by guilt over Hiro’s death, his wife’s illness, and his inability to care for Takaaki, Manase begin having dreams of his time in the cave on Leyte. His dreams consist of the charismatic captain commanding him to kill the dying lance corporal. As he carries out the order, the old man’s screams turn into the screams of a child.
Meanwhile, under his aunt’s care Takaaki becomes an athlete on a soccer scholarship. After striking a referee during a game, Takaaki leaves the team and becomes involved in the student protest movement known as Zenkyoto. He is quickly swept up in the radcial movement’s fervor and takes part in the robbery of a weapons merchant. During the theft, Takaaki struggles with the merchant and strangles him.
On the run, Takaaki hides in his father’s storehouse where Manase finds him. Manase asks Takaaki if he has killed someone to which the son rejoins that Manase has surely killed before himself. Takaaki mindlessly picks up a stone and asks Manase if it is green chert. Excited to have something to talk to Takaaki about, Manase goes on a long-winded speech about his geology and begins to quote the words of the lance corporal from years ago. Takaaki laughs at this speech and ridicules his father, saying he expected something more impressive after all these years looking at rocks. Manase feels shame for his misspent life. Casually, Takaaki mentions that he learned of green chert from Hiroaki and tells Manase that he had been with Hiro the day he was killed, and that they had heard a voice in the back of the cave that day. Takaaki tells Manase that he does not know what happened to Hiro but that he remembered blood on his hands. Manase argues that it must have been sap on his hands and that Takaaki could not have killed Hiro. Takaaki responds that he did not think he had killed Hiro and that he loved his brother. Takaaki starts to leave, taking the green chert specimen. On his way out, Takaaki tells him that it was Manase's voice that Hiroaki had heard that day in the cave.
After leaving his father’s house, Takaaki continues with the student protest movement. While trying to hold up a police station to steal weapons, Takaaki is wounded. He tries to flee but is shot and killed.
Wracked by guilt over his sons’ deaths, Manase decides to take his own life. He sells his bookstore and finishes an amateur geology book he has been working on. He goes to the quarry where Hiroaki died. On entering, he sees firelight within and the charismatic captain yelling at him once again to kill the lance corporal. This time, however, Manase instead lifts the old man on his back and flees the cave. They come upon a river where they drink as dawn approaches. The lance corporal gives Manase a green stone saying, “This is what the children gave me,” before he dies. As Manase looks at the stone in the morning light, it becomes a shining crystal.
