  • standing and sitting on a small flying earth
  • walking and dancing between small model skyscrapers (she later puts flowers on them)
  • watching excited as flying ice creams pass
  • jumping around in a room full of balloons
  • being with two small versions of herself, one as angel, on as devil, who later turn into an army of devils and angels
