Ep. 1: Rakka dreams of falling and is born from a cocoon into the Haibane world

1

A girl dreams of falling through the sky while a crow attempts to save her. She wakes up inside a giant cocoon and emerges to find winged, haloed beings called Haibane. They name her Rakka, as all Haibane lack memories prior to their cocoon birth and are named after their dreams. The group provides Rakka with a newly forged halo that slides off her head and requires temporary strapping. After the others depart for the night, Reki remains to assist Rakka with the painful process of her wings erupting from her back. Rakka falls asleep while Reki cleans the blood from her new feathers.
