00:00At the forest's edge, a small shrine has always stood.
00:04Its carved faces shift when no one is watching.
00:08The elders warned, leave it be, it is not ours.
00:12But the new landowner wanted a shed, so he moved it.
00:17That's that, he said, nothing to fear.
00:20That night, the crickets fell silent.
00:23The dogs trembled in corners.
00:26Then came a sound.
00:28Tap, tap.
00:30Tap, wood against earth.
00:33Outside, the shrine sat in its old place, no tracks.
00:38Furious, he dragged it to the riverbank and left it.
00:41He woke to the smell of damp earth and old leaves.
00:45The shrine sat in the corner of his room.
00:48Every carved face was turned toward him.
00:52He fled for help, but when they returned, it was gone.
00:56It was back at the forest's edge.
00:58The man never went home.
01:01Some places do not belong to us.
01:04Some things cannot be moved.
