Remember Ryuko

A young girl with brown hair and a school uniform cries intensely, her face contorted in anguish as tears stream down her cheeks, while a red and green object is pressed against her face. The scene cuts to a dark-haired girl with a determined expression, her face marked with scratches, as a hand grips her chin, followed by a wider shot revealing the crying girl being pulled backward by a large, monstrous creature with a red and black body and a jagged, winged head, set against a rocky, desolate landscape.
