bother saving us?
We’re supposed to be
your food, after all.

You said you made food.

Sonju: When are you going
to learn the layout, Mujika?
You took the wrong tunnel again.
Mujika: I appreciate
you coming to get us,
but your timing
couldn’t be worse.
And why are you armed?
Sonju: Are you serious?
I don’t want
those kids touching this.

They look pale.

Long time

Emma: You guys!
Alicia: Emma! Ray!

Rossi: Thank goodness!
I’m so glad you’re better!
Gilda: She’s not better yet!
Emma: Is everyone okay?
- Gilda: Yes.
- Don: Yeah!
( both sigh )
Mujika: I’m sorry
if we frightened you,
but we don’t mean you any harm.
You have my word on that.
I am Mujika, this is Sonju,
and we do not eat human flesh.
So please be at ease.
None of you have a thing
to worry about around us.
( dishes clatter )
Careful now...
Ray: No one seems
to mind they’re demons,
which is weird.
Emma: Yeah.
Dominic: Here you go, Ray.
Rossi: Here, Emma!
Gilda: They made us
lunch earlier,
and it was fine.
If they wanted
to do something bad to us,
they would have by now.
Don: Besides, if they
wanted to eat us or whatever,
why’d they bother
nursing you two back to health?
They saved us,
so we can trust them.
( both gasp )
Mujika: Do you all
have enough food?
Children: Yes!
( Emma gasps )
Sonju: We are grateful to Heaven
and Earth for our lives
and this blessed meal
we are about to receive.
Both: Thank you
for this food.
Children:
Thank you for this food.
Ray: Thank you for this food.
Emma: Thank you for this food.
( Ray gobbles )
Emma: It’s good.
( children snoring )
Sonju: We can talk now
if you want.
Emma: Yes. We do.
Sonju: Have a seat, then.
Emma: I’m sorry.
Even though
you saved everyone’s lives,
we were suspicious,
because we thought
all demons ate humans.
Sonju: It’s fine. You were
smart to be cautious of us.
Human flesh
is special to demons,
the brain in particular.
Most of my kind
would drool and take a bite
if they saw a human.
It’s best to be wary of us all.
Ray: How come
you don’t want to eat us?
Sonju: For religious reasons.
( Emma gasps )
Sonju: In accordance
with our faith,
we choose
not to eat humans ever.
We’ll eat anything else,
though.
We’re heretics.
Everything about demon society,
its ideology, authority,
the farms, we reject it all.
But I was curious about you.
That’s why I rescued you.
It’s been a long time
since I talked with a human.
And in this day and age,
the only place to find humans
is on a farm.
( Emma gasps )
Sonju: Anything else
you want to know?
( Emma shudders )
Actually, there is.
What happened to us humans
years ago?
Was the world always like this?
Sonju: What do you mean
by "happened"?
Emma: Huh?
Sonju: I’m not sure
where you got
your information from,
but the world has been like this
for far longer than years.
- Emma: How long?
- Ray: Then we’re not on Earth.
We’re on another planet.
That would explain
all of those weird creatures
we saw in the forest.
Sonju: Nope.
Ray: Then the calendar’s wrong!
It’s not . It’s way after--
Sonju: No.
This is Earth,
and the year is ,
according to one
of the human calendars.
Ray: Then it’s a--( gasps )
Sonju: Sit,
and I’ll tell you a story.
Emma: Let’s hear what he says.
( Ray sighs )
Sonju: A long time ago,
the world was much bigger
than it is now,
and there were
plenty of humans around
for the demons to hunt and eat.
We were the predators.
You were the prey.
Some humans accepted their fate,
while others fought back
and hunted the demons.
In time, the humans
were getting eaten less
and k*lling more of us,
and that only made
the demons hate them.
It was endless k*lling,
constant fear.
And finally,
when both sides got sick of it,
the humans
came up with a solution.
"Let’s promise," they said,
"to keep our worlds separate.
We humans will stop hunting you,
and you will stop hunting us."
( Ray gasps )
Sonju: Everything began
with this promise between us.
One half of the world
was the humans’,
and the other half, the demons’.
The side you’re on
is the demons’.
In the end,
one of the conditions
of the agreement was for a group
of your ancestors
to be left behind here.
Ray: Wait. What?
Sonju: It was all
part of the promise.
To make sure it was kept,
the demons were given stock
they could breed and manage.
That’s the whole point
of the farms here.
And of all the different farms
there are,
Grace Field is one of the best,
turning out high-grade humans
year after year...
for the past , years.
( both gasp )
Sonju: It hasn’t changed since.
( Ray shudders )
( Emma gasps )
Ray: Different worlds.
Emma: A promise
between demons and humans.
( both chuckle )
- Ray: Yes! That’s awesome!
- Emma: Yay! That’s so awesome!
- ( both laugh )
- Sonju: Hmm?
Emma: We didn’t expect it,
but this is great!
A whole other world!
Ray: Damn straight!
It’s even better
than we thought!
Emma: There’s a separate world
where humans live,
a place where it’s safe,
without any demons!
- Ray: Yeah!
- Sonju: Um, kids...
before you get
too excited about it,
you can’t cross over
into the human side.
Emma: How come?
Sonju: It’s part
of the agreement.
No one’s crossed over,
not for the past
thousand years, anyway.
Emma: Are you absolutely sure
about that?
Sonju: No,
but that’s what I heard.
Ray: And the human side,
that’s for real, right?
Sonju: Yes.
That’s what I’ve been told.
Emma: Well, that settles it.
There’s hope, then!
All we need to do
is find out where to go
and how to get there!
Thanks, Sonju! That helped!
Sonju: It did?
All right. That’s good, then.
Get to bed now. It’s late.
Emma: Okay.
Sonju: We’ll show you the way
out of the forest tomorrow
and make sure you get out safe.
Emma: Thanks again.
Good night, Sonju.

Sonju: Don’t worry.
These tunnels are safe.
I made ’em myself

Your pursuers
don’t even know they’re here.
Only Mujika and I can find
our way around this labyrinth.
Mujika: I still get lost.

Ray: We’re makin’
good progress.
Sonju: The demons chasing you
don’t know the way
out of the forest,
but down here,
the way out’s this way.
Dominic: Have you lived
in the forest all this time?
Mujika: No, just for now.
We’re travelers, actually.
We tend to move around a lot.
Alicia: Look!
The plant that holds water!

- Sonju: You know about them?
There’s a spot up ahead
where there’s lots more.
We can take a break there.
Children: Okay!
Don: A thousand-year-old promise
between demons and humans?
Gilda: That must be
the "promise"
the code in the book meant.
Thoma: Everything
we read about the world
wasn’t about this place?
It was about somewhere else?
Ray: Something else
we found out,
Grace Field
isn’t the only farm.
There’s lots more out there.
Lannion: For real?!
Don: There’s more kids like us?
Then we can’t leave them.
We have to save them, too!
Emma: Right. And to do that,
we have to find
Mr. Minerva first
and ask him how to get
to the human side of the world.
Then we’ll figure out a plan,
and once we’re ready,
we’ll go get Phil and the others
and then the kids
from the other Houses.
Then we’ll all go
to the human side together!
- ( Don grunts )
- ( children grunting )
( Lannion laughs )
Nat: You make it sound so easy.
( Emma gasps )
Nat: We barely made it this far,
- but with more kids with us...
- Gilda: You have a point.
Emma: Yeah, but I never thought
things would get easier for us.
- Don: Huh?
- Emma: Listen.
We started out
hoping for the best.
Hope’s all we had
when we escaped Grace Field,
but now we know
there’s a world without demons,
a world where we can
live together and be happy,
and I’ll get us there,
no matter what.
I don’t care
if they say it’s impossible.
We’ll make it!
This is our chance
to finally be free!
Ray: Yeah.
She’s right. We’ll make it!
Children: Yeah!
Sonju: The place you want
to get to is southeast, huh?
Okay. You should leave
the forest from the north side,
then go around and down.
Emma: Why?
Mujika: If you exit
from the southeast,
you’ll have to go
through two areas
- with wild demons in them.
- ( children whimper )
Sonju: If you leave
from the north,
it’s just wasteland,
no demons.
It’ll take about five days to
get through the forest, though.
But once you’re out,
you’ll reach your destination
in a day or so.
And before we part, we should
teach you a few things.
Emma: Like what?
Sonju: Things to help you
survive out in the wild.
Nothing too complicated.
Just the basics
and a few skills.
( Mark gasps )
Emma: Thanks, Anna.
Gilda: Emma, can we talk?
Emma: Hmm?
Gilda: There’s something
I’ve been wanting to say
since yesterday,
but it can’t wait any longer.
Emma: What?
Gilda: If you’re
not feeling well,
you have to say something!
Emma: B-But I--
Gilda: No buts! Never push
yourself like that again.
Do you understand?!
Well, do you?
Emma: Y-Yes!
Gilda: It’s beyond me
how anyone can be so reckless!
Like cutting off your ear!
That wasn’t part of the plan!
There’s no point
in being brave if you die,
so stop taking
such stupid risks!
Emma: I’m sorry! But--( gasps )

tell us you were ill,
and then you fainted.
We were all
worried sick about you.
Emma: I’m sorry.
Don: What did you guys expect,
that we weren’t
gonna worry about you?
You worry about us all the time,
so it’s only fair.
Nat: True. Don and Gilda
were a blubbering mess.
( Don yelps )
Gilda: If you need help,
then tell us.
Don’t try to push
through the pain.
We can help you, but we can’t
if you don’t say something!
We care about you
as much as you care about us.
We’re all family here.
We can pick up the slack
for you if we have to.
We’ll figure it out.
Let us help, please.
Emma: Okay.
I’m sorry. I will.
I’m sorry, everyone.

What’d you do to it

I just made it
how Mujika taught me to make it.
Don: Oh, not even!
It looked to me
like you were
just throwing stuff in!
