The wind grows louder... the snow falls heavily... the pale trees line up in a bleak silence...
[Panoramic shot of the snow-covered forest - the camera shakes slightly due to the storm]
Amidst this stark silence... heavy, stumbling footsteps are heard, punctuated by rapid breathing...
[Closing shot of Henjiro running deep into the forest, panting, his face awash with shock and fear]
Henjiro (trembling):
How... did this happen?!
[Narrator's voice rises in a calm, mysterious tone]
Narrator:
Where is this young boy running into this white hell? What panic is driving him across the frozen forest?
[Following his rapid movement through the trees... His footsteps sink into the snow, his breath heavy in the air]
[The camera pans to his face... His eyes are tearful, his gaze broken, his voice crackling with pain]
Henjiro (screaming and crying):
Mother... Father... Brother... Sister... Don't die, please! Don't die... Because... Because I will surely save you!
[Extreme close-up of his eyes, a hot tear falls from them, melting onto the snow]
Henjiro (in a trembling, shaky voice):
I will surely save you... So... Don't leave me... Don't die...
[The scene ends with a cinematic pan from above, showing Henjiro running alone through the white forest... Snow falling mercilessly from the sky]
