The scene starts with a man hiking up a mountain in Anima. Three men spot him walking up the path. An elder of the three speaks Animan and one of the younger men speaker to the hiker who does not acknowledge them. "He can see that the mountain isn't passable." The elder speaks to his companions as he watchers the hiker walk up the mountain. "He's come to die."

The hiker is revealed to be Oscar Pine.

Many grew confused about being shown a man hiking in the mountains.

"That man is correct," Qrow said. "There are high chances of getting lost when hiking at the wrong time in the mountains." Raven, Ozpin and Oscar nodded, being the most familiar with the mountains of Anima. Ren and Nora nodded since they had travelled through the mountains when they were younger.

"He can fly yet he chooses to walk?" Emerald asked in surprise.

"Remember what he said earlier?" The Host replied. "He's considering to abandon the idea of being Superman and what he stands for."

He walks up near the top and sees Ghira stacking flat rocks onto a pile. "Something, ain't it?" The Panther Faunus asked the young man. "We made a Mistral life on a pancake, so we come to the mountains." He then gestures down the mountain as he picks up another rock. "All downhill from here down to the floodplain farm at the bottom of the world."

"Wait, wait, what?" Many exclaimed upon seeing Ghira stacking rocks.

"Did that tornado throw him all the way to the top of that mountain?!" Roman asked. Darth Anarchus simply shook his head silently and gestured to the screen.

"I remember one season, water came bad, I couldn't have been 12." Ghira stated. "Dad had out the shovels and we went at. All night. We worked until I fainted, I think, but we managed to stop the water. We saved the farm."

"Your grandma baked me a cake, said I was a hero." He said with a smile before he frowns. "Later that day, we found out we blocked the water all right. We sent it upstream, the whole Lang Farm washed away."

"While I ate my hero cake, their horses were drowning." Ghira went on sadly as Oscar looked down the mountain. "I used to hear them wailing in my sleep," Ghira added with a faraway look.

Blake and Kali couldn't help but snicker at the image of Ghira working until he passed out.

Some couldn't help but find it sweet and heartwarming when Ghira spoke of his mother being Oscar's grandmother. He still viewed Oscar as his son, blood or not, human or alien.

Many gasped when Ghira mentioned about the Lang Farm. Ruby, Velvet and Nora cried anime tears at the thought of horses drowning.

"Did the nightmares ever stop?" Oscar asked after a moment.
