003 [Video]
[The device looks like it started recording in the middle of some horrible accident. Thick black smoke curls out from a fire raging in the remnants of a house. There's a small figure laid out flat in the midst of the wreckage, the battered body of a girl. Kainé looks a few years younger than usual, and although she's wearing more clothes than usual, they're tattered and burned. The rest of her isn't doing so well either, her legs are bent at all sorts of wrong angles and she's bruised and bleeding from multiple wounds.
An elderly woman, not in much better shape the Kainé, appears out of the smoke and tries reaching out for her. They're speaking to each other, too low for the device to pick up over the roar of the flames at first. Kainé is reaching for the woman's hands.]
“Grandma, no... No!”
“I said run, goddammit. You have to... have to live... You have to get through-“
[A large shadow shifts out of the smoke, and a massive claw slams down on the spot that the older woman was just in. The creature stands there for a moment, blood oozing out from between its claws. When it finally raises the claw there's nothing recognizable left of the woman. A noise rumbles from its throat, it sounds suspiciously like laughter. Kainé is frozen, staring at the twisted mass of flesh and bone that had been her grandmother only a minute ago.
And then she's screaming out a roar that echoes off the cliffs...]
