Watching someone else write feels like a guilty. It seems glimpsing their true nature. Awkward emotion we have when we see the ugly handwriting of a beautiful person. Names of the four living organisms appears in the screen cut in quoter. A boy draw name of animals on papers. These name of the living organisms are damp and slimy, moving with a repulsive, sluggish motion, despised and nocturnal, active where no eyes can reach.

This video was captured in night vision mode. We can not see the nature clearly without tech? Let’s go to a space colony there is only man-made environment. It would be upside down world as you can see in the video.
