  1. We see a small girl with orange pigtails wearing a pink dress and yellow shirt, standing with her arms outstretched against the large round white belly of a giant panda who stands behind her with arms spread wide. Several small tiger cubs and baby pandas are gathered around their feet on a pink floor. The art style is classic hand-drawn anime.

  3. A woman wearing a wide-brimmed hat holds their cupped hands open as a small brown butterfly hovers just above them, appearing to float or take flight. The butterfly is in sharp focus while the person's face is softly blurred in the background. The overall tone is calm and ethereal, with a pale blue-grey background.
