In a destroyed world where humans are extinct, non-humans hiding from people return to the world. A non-human heads to an ancient altar to hold a ritual to honour the wind. The Border Control Stones stop the non-human.

In 2224, all humans died of virus, and only non-humans survived. The non-humans were born in old Korean tales. They have lived in the area for thousands of years but have been hiding because people believed non-humans spread plagues and loathed them. In ruined world, a non-human encounters Border Control Stones. The stones block a non-human's entry to the area since non-humans are strangers. The stones interrogate the non-human like immigration review.

After that, the non-human goes to an altar. In ancient Asia, wind was believed to be a breath of the cosmos, and a ritual to honour the wind was held. At the altar, many non-humans gather together and perform a ritual to the wind. The ritual crosses Korean shamanic dance and ancient ritual format.
