Another dream...
「Human,aren't you?」
「What's wrong?
Are you a demon?」
「I suppose so.
But I used to be human.
What a world.
How stupid!
Long ago...
...this place was a beautiful field of flowers.
Then those nuclear bombs,those missiles...
...turned it into this desert.
Now...
...because of all that fallout...
...strange flowers grow.
Dandelions.」
「Dandelions?」
「Monster dandelions.
This is a rose.
The stem grows from the flower...
...and a strange bud at the top.
This is all radiation polluted.
It makes this mutation.
The flowers are crippled.
Not only flowers.
Human beings,too. Look at me. (One horn on his head.)
Stupid mankind did this.
It made our planet a junkyard for poisonous wastes.
(Now, beauteous) Nature has vanished from the earth,the nature we used to enjoy.
We've lost the birds,animals,fish.
Some time ago...
...I saw a two-faced hare...
...a one-eyed bird...
...and a hairy fish.」
「How do you eat then?」
「There's no food!
We feed on ourselves.
The weak ones go first.
It's about my turn now.
Even here,we have grades.
One-horn demons like myself always get...
...eaten by those who have two or three horns.
Before,they were powerful and pretentious.
And now they still throw their weight around as demons.
So,let them have their way.
Let them have all those horns.
So,let them live in torture,looking the way they do.
It's hell.
Worse than death.
They can't die even if they want to.
That's their punishment...
immortality.
Tortured by their sins...
...they must suffer forever.
They'll eat me soon.I'll be released.
But I don't want to be eaten.
That's why I'm running away.
But then I get so hungry that...
...I feel disgusted with myself.
I was a farmer when I was a man.
I dumped gallons of milk in the river to keep the prices up.
I buried potatoes and cabbages with a bulldozer.
How stupid!
Hear that?
When night comes...
...those famous demons scream out in pain.
Their horns hurt them worse than a cancer.
They pray for death,but are condemned to live in pain for eternity.
But no one kills them.
So they just scream.
Come,I'll show you.
You'll see how they cry.
My horn's beginning to hurt,too.
Go away.」
「Go where? （帰れって…、どこに帰ればいいんだ？）」
「Do you want to become a demon,too? 」
