The narrative focuses on nine-year-old children who eagerly anticipate the rare appearance of the sun. Margot, who moved from Earth and remembers the sun, feels isolated and is bullied by her peers, particularly by a boy named William. Her belief in the sun's return sets her apart, leading the other children to lock her in a closet when they doubt her.

In this segment of the video, Margot is depicted as feeling alienated and different from her classmates on Venus. The children, who have lived on Venus their entire lives, do not recall the sun, while Margot, having moved from Earth five years ago, vividly remembers it. This difference causes the children to resent and ostracize her. Margot’s refusal to participate in activities, her fear of water, and the rumor of her impending return to Earth further isolate her. Despite being bullied and pushed by a boy named William, Margot remains quietly determined, hoping for the sun’s appearance. The children mock her anticipation, thinking nothing will happen, but Margot believes the sun is supposed to come out that day.
