[The scene opens up to something pleasant in the least. A tiny child being cradled by her mother, who is humming a soft melody. Around them, a glass case exists with a small garden patch around them, and through it, one can see different types of machines, operating tables, and electronics.]

[It's clear this is a lab.]

[The woman, Iflana, lifts the child's head, speaking almost forcefully, as if to emphasize a point]

I'm getting you out of here, child. Before that.. horrible man does something awful. But if something happens to me, you run. You understand me?

[The child nods. How can she not when Mother takes that tone?]

[What happens next seems to happen all too fast. Some science interns bust in the room and begin trying to wrangle Iflana from the young Aerith's grasp. This was obviously not the plan from the amount of screaming and desperate grappling back for her child. The door shuts, separating the two.]

[Iflana continues trying to fight from behind an operating curtain. When it all falls silent, it's clear she failed. Aerith slams on the glass, calling for her, but it's muted.]

Damn. I thought that was going to work. Maybe she was too old. Try the girl.
