Character Reference: <<<image_1>>> ACTION 0:00–0:03 The camera glides through a moonlit bamboo graveyard. Countless weathered skulls hang among the stalks. Wind moves softly through the forest. Pale fog drifts along the ground. At first the place feels terrifying. Then the camera reveals her kneeling quietly among the dead. 0:03–0:06 She carefully places a small lantern beside one of the skulls. Her glowing crimson eyes soften. The camera circles around her as she brushes fallen leaves away from forgotten bones. The audience realizes she is not disturbing the dead. She is tending to them. 0:06–0:09 The camera follows as she slowly walks deeper into the bamboo forest. More lanterns appear hanging from branches. Hundreds of tiny lights illuminate the darkness. Every lantern marks a life that has been lost. Her robes drift gently in the wind beneath the enormous moon. 0:09–0:12 She stops before a single unlit lantern hanging alone from a bamboo stalk. The camera slowly pushes toward her face. For the first time there is sadness in her expression. She reaches out and lights the lantern with a crimson flame from her fingertips. 0:12–0:15 The moment the lantern ignites, thousands of lanterns throughout the forest begin glowing one after another across the mountainside. The camera rises high into the sky revealing an endless sea of lights beneath the moon. She stands alone at the center of it all, silently watching over the forgotten dead.
