Forrest: Hmm... Where did Shigure run off to? I can't imagine why he would have come to this distant field... But I couldn't find him anywhere around the camp.
Shigure: *singing*
Forrest: Ah! There he is! Now why would he be out here sitting on that tree stump? And why is he surrounded by a whole bunch of... forest animals?! Rabbits, squirrels... Is that a bear? And they're all gathered, as if it were perfectly natural.
Shigure: I think that's enough for one day. How did you like it?
Forrest: Shigure, why are you trying to talk with those animals?
Shigure: Ah! Who's there?! Wait! No! Don't go!
Forrest: Oh! I made them all run away. That was totally my fault. Sorry about that.
Shigure: They were just startled, Forrest. Frankly, I was too! But don't worry about it. They can't help being a little shy. So tell me, what are you doing all the way out here?
Forrest: I was looking for you. Since we were raised apart, we never got to form any sort of brotherly bond. I would love to know you better. Do you want to spend some time together?
Shigure: Oh... I don't know what to say. I'm really not the most interesting person around. You might have a better time talking with someone more outgoing.
Forrest: D-don't say that. It's not true.
Shigure: Please, you shouldn't feel obligated to be my friend just because we're related. Honestly, I'm not in the most social mood right now. You'll have to excuse me.
(Shigure leaves)
Forrest: W-wait up! Why did he leave...?

Forrest: *sigh* Shigure ran off again today. Which probably means he's hiding out in that clearing. Surrounded by all those animals he's friends with in the forest. Heehee. Looks like I was right. Hello, Shigure!
Shigure: Forrest?! What are you doing out here? Ah! Ah! Don't go!
Forrest: Oh no! They ran off. Sorry for driving them away again.
Shigure: N-no, don't worry about it. They aren't used to other people being around here. It's easy to startle them.
Forrest: O-oh, I see. They sure seem fond of you though. We may have the same parents, but we really couldn't be more different.
Shigure: Why were you looking for me again? Did you need something?
Forrest: I still want to spend time with you. We're siblings, but it's almost like you and I are strangers. But you're my only brother in the world.
Shigure: That's true. Listen, I'm sorry for being cold the other day. It makes me happy to know that you care so much. I'm your brother, and I don't want to let you down.
Forrest: Do you mean it? Can I stay here with you for a while? Maybe you can call back those animals.
Shigure: Honestly, I don't think they would be comfortable around you.
Forrest: R-really? And yet they're so happy around you. Maybe if I worked really hard, they would want to be my friends, too. Are there any secret tips that you can share with me?
Shigure: Hmm, I'm not sure if this will help, but... Animals are highly attuned to the feelings of people around them. Most likely, they detected something in you that drove them off.
Forrest: Like what? Why would I be angry at some cute animals?
Shigure: They can sense what you were thinking. Were you sizing them up to figure out which one might make a tasty dinner? Even just for a moment?
Forrest: No, Shigure! I'm not a glutton. And I wouldn't want their fur either!
Shigure: Of course not, I'm sorry. That's just the biggest reason I could think of for them to run away. I appreciate how sincere you are about befriending them. I'll try to think of what can be done to make them feel safe around you. There has to be a way to help out my kindhearted brother.
Forrest: I certainly hope so!

Forrest: Hello, Shigure...
Shigure: What's wrong, Forrest? You look unhappy.
Forrest: I've just been thinking about the animals from the other day.
Shigure: Oh, did you want to go pay them a visit? I was just about to head in that direction if you want to come along. Are you ready to prove that you don't mean them any harm?
Forrest: That's the thing. I realized that I was feeling upset when I encountered them.
Shigure: What do you mean?
Forrest: Honestly, I saw how well you got along with them, and I felt jealous. It was frustrating. I just wanted to spend time with you, but they were in the way. The animals must have sensed how I felt. I was wrapped up in being selfish, and I didn't realize it. I feel so mean...
Shigure: Forrest, I'm glad you thought about this and talked to me.
Forrest: There is no way I can go back there.
Shigure: Don't say that. You should absolutely go back. By opening up, you've changed, and the animals will be able to tell. I think they'll be more welcoming.
Forrest: I'm not sure...
Shigure: Well I am. You didn't have to say that you were feeling jealous. But you did anyway. That tells me that you've got a good soul. They'll be able to see that, too. Look! There's a rabbit hopping this way.
Forrest: GAAH! What do I do?
Shigure: Just calm down. Relax, and take a breath. Quiet your mind and be peaceful... Just think about how you want to be friends with the furry critter.
Forrest: A-all right, I'll try... ...AHH! Wow, look! He's letting me pet him! It seems like he's really enjoying it too.
Shigure: See? I told you everything would work out just fine.
Forrest: Heehee. You were right. I'm so glad!
Shigure: Now you can meet all of the other animals. I think you will get along with everyone. Let's wander to the clearing in the woods. I bet your friends will be waiting there.
Forrest: OK! Thank you for being such a good brother, Shigure. Lead on!
