Setup for Inciting Incident (Manaia is Missing)
Kō runs a screen or two through the woods before coming to the base of a steep mountain. She climbs the mountain up through the canopy of the forest, chasing the boys to the mountain top shrine of Manaia, the protector bird god of their village.
Side Camera: looking through pillars in foreground, to boys looking away from cam, toward central shrine wall. Dark pre-dawn, lit by torches around the shrine.
Kō enters the shrine, her movement is now limited to a walk. The boys have stopped in front of the shrine, which has a small, square pool of water in front of it. Kō walks over to one of the boys, pressing the attach button will make her elbow the boy, knocking him over, and finally taking the Twist back.
They tell her to knock it off, and to look: Manaia is missing.
The center piece of the shrine is a very large, wooden statue of Manaia, but instead of a statue, there is just an outline where the statue used to be fastened to the wall, but is now gone.
