[3][5][6] A teenage boy wakes up in the desert, with his parachute dangling on a tree branch, before a giant black monster appears from the dust and approaches him.

After eating and bathing in the forest, he meets a small yellow chick and finds a backpack filled with a survival kit and a map of the island he is on.

The boy climbs a mountain decorated with balancing rocks and pushes a boulder down toward a wooden bridge while a white fox appears and chases the chick.

In the middle of the journey, the chick spreads its wings and bids farewell to the boy as it joins a flock of white birds.

That night, the boy has a dream of himself parachuting from a plane while being surrounded by black human-like figures resembling the monster falling to their deaths.
