The Kindred Trailer

On screen appears a dark night sky, with a few stars illuminating it.

Boy: Mom, tell me a story!

Mother: Only one, Rylen.

Boy: Only one…

''A brief pause follows. On screen appears over the night sky a papyrus paper overlay. A few drops of ink fall on it, flowing to form a posture of a samurai with his hilt prominently displayed on a hilltop. His body is made of white ink, while his long hair is solid black.''

Mother: Long ago, there once was a pale samurai with black hair travelling the world. He was very lonely.

Boy: Why was he lonely?

Mother: Because he had no master anymore.

''The ink is erased and a new drawing appears. The samurai is seen walking through a field, with white ink illustrating wind blowing his hair back.''

Boy: Was it because he is evil?

Mother: No, he wasn’t evil. He had no other option.

''The posture of the man changes, but he remains in the field. He looks up into the distance. According to his expression, he sees something.''

Mother: All things must meet this man, so that’s why they fled from him.

''The ink erases and you see that the samurai is looking at an other man. Ink illustrates a gust of wind, who erases the other man from the paper. The ink is erased again and new drops form a landscape, which is edited every few seconds to show different locations across the globe.''

Boy: Why did he travel the world? Did he look for friends?

Mother: Everywhere he went, nobody wanted to be his friend.

''The ink erases again and now shows the front view of the Samurai, kneeling and having lowered his head in defeat. As the mother continues, the image changes with the samurai having his sword raised.''

Mother: When he had enough of it all, he took his sword, and cut himself in half.

''A brief flash shows the samurai swiping down the sword, erasing all ink. The white and black ink are spilled, forming a pool where the 2 colors slowly whirl without mixing.''

Boy: So he always would have a friend?

Mother: So he always would have a friend.

''Underneath the finished whirl pattern, "気の合う者同士" is drawn with ink. The screen cuts to black and a distorted "We are" appears briefly on screen before cutting to black definitely."''
