Description

Tree of Innocence.A pair of young twin brothers, Satoshi and Takashi are in the forest, exploring. They argue over whether they should go home or not. They finally decide to climb one tree before heading home. The tree the brother in the red shirt, Takashi, picks is old and very tall. First one to the top of the tree wins. The brother in green, Satoshi, takes the lead and eventually makes it to the top. He notices how high up he is... Suddenly, he hears a sound and looks down to find Takashi clinging on a branch, too afraid to get down and he thinks the branch is about to break. Satoshi climbs over toward him only to stop when he hears his mother call out to get down now. Satoshi says he has to reach his brother, but then his mother shouts, "Have you forgotten what happened to Takashi?!" She says if she loses him too, she'll have no idea what to do with herself. Satoshi becomes confused. He looks to where he saw Takashi, only to find nothing. Then he remembers what happened a week ago: Satoshi told Takashi to reach for a bird's nest only to have Takashi to fall to his death. He asks what he was just playing with just now. Suddenly, in front of him is a laughing, black-eyed version of Takashi that only he can see. Satoshi backs away from the ghost, only to fall from the branch. Amazingly, he did not die like his brother. He embraces his mother, and the two of them walk home. However, as he walks away with his mother, Satoshi drops a dead baby bird and says with a wicked smile, "See ya, Satoshi." Alone in the tree top, Satoshi begs Takashi to give him back his body as his eyes turn black.
