Unknown to both America and China, Goa is just a floor above them listening. She clutched her bag closer to herself and her loose on the phone faltered if not a little, then a lot to the point of almost escaping her fingertips.

Without knowing she mumbled softly "爸爸..."

Flashback~

In an amazon forest surrounded by, who knows what, there is a single man walking into those carrying a straw backpack with farming contents.

During his walk he stumbles upon countless poisonous creatures such as snakes, frogs, snakes, bugs and more snakes.

"Ai yah, ai yah. No wonder people don't come here. There are so many snakes aru!" Said the man and just then a snake appears causing the man to scream.

"AHHHH"

Followed by falling off a cliff, then into trees, into a lake, finally down a waterfall. Now during this time the man fell unconscious and blacked out after hitting a rock.

Nearby someone sporting black and white was passing by and saw this man, feeling sorry it grabbed ahold of the man before dragging him in the most gentlest way possible to its habitat.

Upon arrival a soft cry of happiness was a little infant clapping at the return of her friend, seeing a man with him the infant began to look confused. Walking was not an option for the infant so the infant was left with the choice to crawl to the man. Climbing onto his dirty clothes and up to his face, the infant's blue eyes began to shine in awe seeing someone so similar to itself.

The man's eyes seem to be shut but his face resembled the infant to an uncanny extent. Leaning in closer and closer the infant noted the man to be still breathing seeing his chest rise up and down.

The creature beside the infant also chose to lean in closer exposing the man to its hot breath and saliva drool.

Being woken up the warmth the man opened his eyes only to scream again causing both the infant and the creature to back away.

"AHH who are you? Are you trying to eat me?" The man scrambled away to make distance between them, his eyes searching all areas in fear, searching for the closest thing to defend himself with his hands grabbed onto something.

The infant made a cry that seemed to have said 'WAIT' but he didn't think much of it pulling out the object and it was a snake who was opening its giant mouth, probably to bite the man. More screaming.

Throwing it to the infant's direction the baby miraculously caught the snake and to what the man could only guess, comforting the snake, if it made sense. The snake didn't seem to have a thirst to attack him anymore.

The man averted his eyes to the creature beside the infant who looked like a bear but black and white. The creature just sat down on its bottom staring bald at the man while taking a leaf and eating it, licking its paws.

Looking back at the infant it only wore what seem to be leaves and flowers that were provided by the forest and the animals in this forest seemed friendly to this baby.

'Wait a minute... what is a baby doing in this forbidden forest all alone. There surely is no life here' looking at the infant whose blue eyes also stared back at him, 'those eyes don't belong in the east, this must be a foreigner but this one looks like all my other people... could this baby be a country?!'

Many thoughts and theories entered his mind, finding the courage to move next to the infant causing the snake to hiss as he grew closer as if feeling protective of the baby.

So choosing to stand at a reasonable difference from the trio the man spoke to the baby "Where are your parents?" The child looked confused causing a realisation to strike the man, of course babies can't understand me, "where is your mama and baba?"

The infant turned their head left and right still dazed before looking at the man again and pointing a finger at him "Baba!" The child said putting aside the snake and crawling towards the man all the way up to his feet and clutching his pants "Baba!" The child said repeating their actions.

Feeling weird or simply the common courtesy of picking up the child the man did and the baby seems to be happy and content feeling warmth and comfort in this stranger.

The man let out a small smile because for some reason this random baby he finds in the forest makes him feel a strong spiritual chi around them. "You are definitely a country, my name is China." The man introduced and the baby smiled grabbing his nose.

Removing the infant's hand softly away from his nose China's smile could practically be beaming, never had he ever felt so happy:

"And your name is Goa."
