In the second clip, another boy wearing a beanie and a backpack was walking home through an alley.
A crow, pitch-black save for eyes that seemed to faintly glint red in the camera's reflection, suddenly swooped down from a nearby bare tree. It circled low over the boy's head, letting out a hoarse caw.
The boy, seemingly captivated, stopped and looked up at the crow.
After circling a few times, the crow flew off toward the far end of the alley.
The boy hesitated for a moment before following the crow, he too disappearing into a surveillance blind spot.
The third clip, the fourth...
The scenes and the children changed, but the two birds—a rainbow parrot and a red-eyed crow—always appeared near them in some fashion. Then, as if pulled by invisible strings, the children would follow the birds away.
When the video ended, a dead silence fell over the conference room.
