Yes, Ava.
What was it like here when you were a kid?
There were more adventures to be had.
I used to swim with the sacred guardian, Two Breaths, every other day.
Two Breaths doesn't exist.
Of course, it does.
It is the spirit of our island and the people who have lived here, Ava.
Grandpa, if Two Breaths actually protected us, this would have never happened to our home.
Hey, Grandpa.
I think I heard something on my way back.
Maybe it's those people from the mainland?
Grandpa, are you feeling better?
Grandpa?
Hanging out with Mr.
Fish?
NEST Special Ops.
Sweeping the area for survivors.
Anyone here?
Poor guy.
Why don't you call it in?
Last house.
Local male.
Stage four exposure.
No survivors on this at all.
Grandpa.
Whoa.
Did you hear that?
Hear what?
Shh.
Listen.
Hey, wait.
There's a kid in here.
Wait.
Come back.
[music] Here.
Let's take a look at this.
All right.
What is this?
A plant?
Sure, but more than just a plant.
Squash?
Yes.
Everything you see around us is a gift.
From the tiny blades of grass on our lawn to the great mountain peaks overseeing our valley.
This land is our home, Ava.
We can't give up on it when it needs us the most.
That's why people protest to protect the things they love.
[music] Friday announced.
The government is moving forward with developing a new version of the tactical nuclear gravity bomb.
Testing is planned to begin in early spring in the Pacific with claims of full safety for nearby atolls and their residents.
Look who I found upstairs today.
Mr.
Fish and I want to take you snorkeling.
Grandpa, I'm 11.
Not 5.
Oh, excuse me, 11-year-old lady.
I forget how big you are now.
[chuckles] I think we got him, Mr.
Fish.
Mr.
Fish?
Thank you.
Wait.
Come back.
Don't leave me here.
Are you okay?
I'm fine.
Your grandpa's strong as an ox.
You there?
Hi.
Guess it's just me and you now.
Testing is planned to begin in the early spring in the Pacific [?]

Grandpa, the protests are just getting worse.
Shouldn't we just leave?
[music] Hey, help.
Over here.
Over here.
Do you think we're all going to die?
Help.
Hey.
We got a civilian over here.
Looks like a kid.
I got you.
Come on.
You're okay.
I got you.
Don't touch her.
Just look at her wounds.
Hey, little girl.
Are you alone?
Yes.
Is your family still on the island?
What's that in the water?
Looks like a toy, man.
Mr.
Fish?
Two Breaths doesn't exist.
Of course, it does.
It is the spirit of our island and the people who have lived here, Ava.
We have such a beautiful home, but it's all changing.
Change is part of life.
The beauty of the past and our memories, they'll always be with you, you know?
Yes.
I miss you.
I know.
The time has come for you to go on now.
Now it's your turn to keep our story going.
Keep our spirit alive.
