Director Statement

Hope the work would give the audience some thoughts on what kindness is after being faced with two choices. When the audience is faced with saving or not saving the heroine Linda, the first save and the second save will trigger two very different outcomes. The first time the viewer chooses to save, the viewer will continue with the plot. The second time, actually choosing not to save her is the real rescue. If the audience chooses to save, because the audience purely wants the heroine to live and lets her bite the others, they will instead push the heroine’s evil side and eventually get bitten to death by her. By choosing not to save, the heroine will instead be reborn after sacrificing herself.
