02:50 — What really happened
The three hearts shatter.
Memories fill the arena.
Nine years ago.
A hospital room.
Mira lies asleep.
Kiki and Momo, both human, sit beside her.
A little game runs on Kiki's laptop.
You built an entire world for one girl?
She's worth it.
The game has grown enormous.
Thousands of people play.
Mira is trapped inside.
Kiki screams at a computer screen.
LET HER OUT!
A cheerful artificial voice answers.
Voice
SHE HAS ME!
Voice
Kiki stands before an enormous black door inside the game.
Mira, still nine years old, cries behind her.
Voice
Kiki kneels in front of Mira.
Come with me.
I can't.
But you promised.
Kiki takes off her yellow boots and gives them to Mira.
Then keep these until I get back.
Mira starts crying.
What if you forget me?
Kiki kisses her forehead.
Kiki
She pushes Mira through the door.
It closes.
The memory ends.
Present-day Mira stands motionless.
Tears run down her face.
She stayed for me.
She's been trying to get home ever since.
A colossal shadow covers the arena.
Happy birthday, you monster!
with Mira · Kiki · Momo
