Third Phase's Last Day

Sunday, November 22th

The sun rose through the cloudy skies.

The soft yellow light reached the houses and buildings of the city to announce the arrival of another day.

The citizens of Elffire City started to wake up to do their tasks for the day.

But inside a mirrored building with a sign saying [Tokyo Animation Studios], groups of people could be seen in a totally different rhythm compared with the rest of the city.

They seemed to be oblivious to the rising sun as they didn't even sleep the previous night.

They were the 35 teams that had the task to produce an animation of a one-minute duration for the third phase of interviews at the Tokyo Studios.

All teams were racing against time to finish their animations before 2 pm.

Inside Team 19 Workspace, the whole team had tired faces as they worked.

The last time that all of them slept was yesterday.

They were awake for more than 24 hours already.
