Shivae! [[Vas continues lying on his back looking up wide-eyed]] / Vas: The newcomer is going to get me! Aren't you afraid?! / Taun: Noel? Noel is my friend. He will not harm you.

Cafe' Anime' Meanwhile in the café, curious students from the nearby college have started showing up to the café and it's almost as though it's always been there. / It's all going according to plan.
Shivae! [[Vas lies on his back looking up at Taun]] / Vas: The red tongues were everywhere! / Taun: Oh... the fire brought you here! / Vas: Fire? / [[Noel is looking at Taun while a now freed Vas gets to his feet]] / Taun: The red tongue, red teeth, golden claws, sun's rain,... fire. / Taun: See, Vas, Noel is our friend. / Noel: Ok. I got it all... Now what, Taun? He's all scratched up...
Cafe' Anime' We will now begin our experiment on fate and attraction. / Experiment? Kamira, I thought we were running a café. / We are, Mika, but to get the free labor, we had to agree to run this experiment. / We have several human couples to observe. The first girl has already been in here. This is good. / Doubtless, she shall return with the other girls later today.
Cafe' Anime' The girls have always lived here on this earth, but the boys have not. They have never existed anywhere but in the girl's dreams. The ADC is paying good money to broadcast the results of the manipulated dreams they have been marketing. / If they are dreams, how are they making hot chocolate? Blake makes good hot chocolate. / How many times must I explain, Mika. They *are* real now. Originally they were part of the ECHO project. They were just code, until the ADC genetically engineered them into existence. They are the same, but without memory of the girls or certain other events.

He is going to help you. / Vas: But - / Taun: Has he hurt you yet? / Vas: ... / [[Noel carries a nervous looking Vas while Taun walks alongside]] / Taun: His name is Vas. He told me that he was separated from his father and brother in the fire. Maybe his father is looking for him. / Noel: I hope he is. I don't think father will let me keep him. / Taun: Shivae don't like to be kept, Noel.
Shivae! [[Noel looks up at Taun as they walk]] / Noel: He's too small to take care of himself, isn't he, Taun? / Taun: Yes. That is probably why he is hurt. / [[A birdseye view of them walking]] / Noel: I hope he lives. Shivae are such pretty animals. / Taun: Yes, they are, Noel. / Noel: Maube he will stay because he wants to. / [[A view of a miniwhip in the trees feeding a large insect to 2 smaller miniwhips]] / Noel: Like you, Taun? / Taun: Eventually, everyone must leave home.
Shivae! [[A picture of Noel sitting reading a book while lying against a curled up and sleeping Taun, daydreaming of himself as a hero/knight of sorts riding Taun in flight]]
Shivae! [[A view of the outside of a cabin]] / [[A mature dark-colored male lion takes a panicked looking Vas from Noel]] / Father: Noel! Nobody has ever managed to capture a living shivae, not even a chick! By the mane! Much too young to be on his own. / [[A muzzle is fitted over the wide eyed Vas]] / Father: We'll just put a muzzle on him to make sure he doesn't nip.
Shivae! [[The grinning father straps Vas down to the worktable with padded straps while Noel watches]] / Noel: Father, is he hurt bad? / Father: No. Just scratched up and probably hungry. This wound on his leg's pretty deep. Severed muscle and went to the bone. I'm sure I can clean and suture it together, but he's going to limp. Help me tighten the straps so he doesn't hurt himself, Noel. / [[A closeup of a wide-eyed Vas as the father starts rinsing him with a small hose]] / Father: This'll probably sting a bit little fellow, but you'll be better after we clean you up.
