===================================================================

[VCOL]: There was… or is… a popular entertainment program. Student project, followed by billions.

[VCOL]: The hero opens up a reliquary with a creature inside. It's scared. It's lonely. It just wants a friend.

[VCOL]: The Anomaly is the reliquary. The creature is… um, no, this is as far from a friend as possible.

[VCOL]: There is, ah, a drainage system with clear pipes. Fluid dynamics. The filter malfunctions, and a leaf gets into the system.

[VCOL]: Now the leaf is trapped in a bend in the pipe. It tumbles in the corner, end over end, bound by physics.

[VCOL]: The Anomaly is the pump. And… and Cole is a leaf.

[VCOL]: There is… no, there will be… an engineer who built a cage for a beast.

[VCOL]: The Anomaly is the beast. Or the cage.

[VCOL]: There was a boy, who dreamed of the stars. Ah, they sang to him.

[VCOL]: The Anomaly is the song. It already killed the boy.
