Film Synopsis
After an exhausting day, the protagonist drags their tired body home, longing for their plump “family member.” Ignoring the family member’s resistance, the protagonist hugs them tightly, finding comfort in the embrace. In this healing moment, the protagonist feels a sense of euphoria, seeing a warm sky surrounded by paw-shaped clouds. A paw-shaped cloud floats towards the protagonist, playing with them. A beam of light catches the protagonist’s attention, revealing a giant version of Little Orange beckoning them. The protagonist can’t resist feeling the paw’s texture and sinks into it, making snow angels on Little Orange’s fluffy fur, falling asleep in comfort. However, reality soon douses the protagonist with cold water.
