Flip is shocked.

COMPUTER MONITOR - MARIA'S ILLUSTRATION

We see Maria's drawing: a monstrous robot that looks like an iron dragon.

MARIA:      (V.O.)   The dragon in the boy finally understood that his own world of magic was coming to an end.

Flip is staring at the starry sky.

FLIP:     I wish I hadn't come here. I wish I could turn back time.

A meteor streaks across the night sky.

MARIA:      (V.O.)   Melancholy falling stars, the tears of a dragon, rained endlessly that night.
