Ep 7. The Faeries' Time Management

The episode starts with our protagonist, a young girl who is the last survivor of humanity, investigating a strange phenomenon that has been occurring: time is slowing down. As she wanders through the forest, she stumbles upon a group of faeries who seem to be responsible for the odd time fluctuations.

The faeries invite the girl to their village where she learns that the faeries have been using their magic to manipulate time. They explain that they have been extending the lifespan of various crops and animals to better manage their food supply since they cannot rely on human methods of sustaining agriculture. However, as a result of their time magic, the faeries have also accidentally caused time to slow down beyond their control.

The girl takes it upon herself to help the faeries regulate their time management. She suggests that they only use their magic to speed up certain crops and animals that have a short lifespan and to limit their use of time magic on others. The faeries are skeptical at first but agree to follow her plan since they trust her judgment.

As the girl helps the faeries manage their time, she observes their daily lives and becomes fascinated with their unique mindset and culture. She notes that the faeries are highly organized and prioritize efficiency in everything they do. For example, they have developed a system of communal sleeping that allows them to rest in shifts, ensuring that there is always someone on watch to protect their village.

The girl also discovers that the faeries have an intricate social hierarchy, with each fairy assigned specific roles and duties based on their skillset. She observes that the faeries are quick to make decisions when a problem arises, and they work collaboratively to find the best solution.

As the girl continues to learn about the faeries' time management and culture, she reflects on her own human identity and how different it is from the faeries'. She realizes that while she may be the last human left on Earth, she is also a product of a culture that prioritizes individuality and personal fulfillment over collective well-being.

The episode finishes with the girl returning to her own village, feeling grateful for the opportunity to learn from the faeries. She resolves to use her newfound knowledge to help her people survive and thrive in their post-apocalyptic world. As she walks off into the sunset, the faeries wave goodbye, content in knowing that they have helped humanity continue to thrive in their own way.
