So why is Six lying out there in the desert? Well that's because at the end of the previous episode Arrival, Six had been attacked by the Village Guardian 'Rover,' and was left lying in the desert, Rover having just vacated the scene in this opening scene of Harmony. The thing is it's not the Village that's the problem, its Six! He refuses to see the Six inside. But at least there is the possibility for escape, to the Escape resort of the Village, for a two week vacation. Today people arrive at the Village by bus. Yet in olden times it would seem that the Village had a Railway Station or Halt, which has long since fallen into ruin, and is called the ruin. Two sees family life is important to the Village, important to Two. One can only know true love through one's family. But families can hurt, and you cannot choose your family. Six has memories of his childhood, yet Two's son 11-12 has no memory of his childhood toys! 16 is supposed to be Six's brother. But Six lost his brother to the sea when they were boys. However just as Six accepts 16 as his brother, 16 tells Six that he is not. And towards the end of the episode Six loses 16 not only to the sea, but to the Village Guardian, 16 taken below the waves, having been drowned and suffocated by the membranic thing. But it would seem that the sea is but a figment of the imagination. Because when Six takes 313 to see the sea, there is nothing but desert, which makes 16's death even worse, having been drowned in a sea of sand! Be seeing you next time.
