Who?
Who are you?
Angel's Egg
Keep precious things with you...
...or you will lose them.
What do you think is inside that egg?
I can't tell you things like that.
Besides, I don't even know who you are.
You have to break the egg if you are to know what is inside.
Who are you?
Don't follow me!
The fish have come out.
Fish?
Even though the fish are not anywhere...
...still they chase after them.
Please...
...my egg...
...don't do anything to it.
This way.
I've seen a tree like this somewhere.
Where was it?
So long ago that I've forgotten.
Somewhere under a sky where the clouds made sounds as they moved.
The black horizon swelled and from it grew a huge tree.
It sucked the life from the ground
and its pulsing branches reached up,
as if to grasp something.
The giant bird sleeping within an egg.
What happened to the bird?
Where is it?
It's still there now, still dreaming.
Dreaming?
What kind of dream does the bird dream?
What is in the egg?
You still cannot tell me?
Since when have you been here?
As many days as there are bottles?
I too have forgotten where I'm from.
And maybe, I didn't know from the beginning where I am going.
Will you be going away?
I will blot out man whom I have made from the face of the earth...
...even man with cattle, and reptiles with flying creatures of the sky...
...for I am grieved that I have made them.
I will bring rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights...
...and I will blot out every offspring which I have made from the face of all the earth.
And it came to pass after the seven days that the water of the flood came upon the earth.
On this day all the fountains of the abyss were broken up...
...and the flood-gates of heaven were opened.
And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
But the ark was borne upon the water.
And there died all flesh that moved upon the earth...
...of flying creatures and cattle, and of wild beasts, and every reptile moving upon the earth, and every man.
Noe was left alone, and those with him in the ark.
And he sent a dove after it to see if the water had ceased from off the earth.
And having waited yet seven other days, he again sent forth the dove...
...and she did not return to him anymore.
Where did the bird land?
Or maybe it weakened and was swallowed by the waters.
No one could know.
So the people waited for her return.
Waited and grew tired of waiting.
They forgot they had released the bird; forgot there was a bird.
They even forgot there was a world sunken under water.
They forgot where they were from; how long they traveled; and where they were going.
It was so long ago that the animals have turned to stone.
The bird I saw, I can't even remember where or when, it was so long ago.
Perhaps it was a dream.
Maybe you and I and the fish exist only in the memory of a person who is gone.
Maybe no one really exists and it is only raining outside.
Maybe the bird never existed at all.
It exists.
It's here.
I found it, it's already turned to stone, it's in here.
I'm going to hatch it and put it back.
It's the bird I found.
I know that,
I thought so.
Can you hear something?
I can hear it.
The sound of soft breathing.
That's your breathing.
I can hear the sound of wings.
It must be dreaming of flying in the sky.
That's just the sound of the wind outside.
Very soon.
Right now you're in here dreaming, but soon I will show you.
Very soon.
So you must stay here for now.
Here it doesn't rain...
Here it is warm.
Who are you?
Who?
Who are you?
