Summary
The story begins with the main character watching plants. Then, suddenly many tall buildings appeared. It started covering the whole field, but he succeeded in protecting a branch from it. He brought it to his new home which was inside one of the tall buildings, and took care of it everyday. However, it eventually became sick. After the branch had totally died, a jellyfish looking creature had appeared. One by one, the inhabitants were taken by it. The main character also wanted to be taken. When he fell down, the jellyfish lifted him. And after he woke up, he was in a place that looked like the place he was in at the first time.
Reaction
I thought the sudden appearance of the tall buildings and the rooms inside it represented modern times. I also believe that they are warning us of the current crisis. The dirty air, smoke from the factories which create bad air like exhaust fumes, rooms that almost look like a prison, and overworking. People are really dying because of it. I feel the seriousness of what humanity is currently doing to the earth. We have to have more compassion for the earth. If everyone would have the same sense or thoughts of care for plants that the main character had, the world wouldn’t become like the world in the video, and the environment would be better.
