An extreme long-shot, high-angle front view captures a vast natural clearing. In the far distance, a 12-year-old boy named Shinji emerges from behind a cluster of dense trees; he has smooth, straight black hair and wears a blue shirt and black shorts, his facial expression radiating confidence and philosophical calm as he walks forward. In the foreground, another 12-year-old boy named Raiden lies exhausted face-down on the ground, his body limp. Raiden has spiky, messy brown hair and wears a dirty yellow athletic shirt and black pants. Positioned a short distance behind Raiden is a moderately sized brown rock. The scene is set in a wide-open outdoor area with a nature-focused background. The visual style is a high-quality anime illustration, featuring bright natural lighting and a wide depth of field that emphasizes the immense distance between the two characters.
