SCRIPT: Deglutition (FFVII vore doujinshi) (Patreon)

This is a bit of an old script. I wrote it from the 21st to the 24th of February in 2021. A bit before I actually started uploading art on my twitter! As it is an older script, I don't abbreviate the names at all on the left hand side so it is a little cluttered. Much more of an actiony one near the end with a big focus on banter and size shenanigans.

Doujinshi script for an alternative vorish route to the confrontation with Hojo in FFVII. The party of Cloud, Tifa, and Cid is there to stop the unhinged Professor Hojo from firing the Sister Ray, which will destroy all of Midgar if he succeeds. But this time around, Hojo has an extra trick up his sleeve.

Also Vincent, Cait Sith, and Barret also show up as cameos.

Cloud: I can't believe you're the one who did this… The illusionary crime against Sephiroth...

Hojo turns around from the control panel to face the party of Cloud, Cid, and Tifa.

Hojo: Heee, hee, hee, hee! No you're wrong! It's my desire as a scientist! Heee, hee, hee, hee! I... was defeated by my desire to become a scientist. I lost the last time as well. I've injected Jenova's cells into my own body! Heee, hee, hee! Here are… Heee, hee, hee!...my results!!! Gwah, hah, hah!

The battle starts and Cid is able to perform his limit break

Cid: Let's start off with something real explosive. How about some DYNAMITE!

He lights a stick of dynamite with the cigarette in his mouth and tosses it at Hojo. It does about 2700 damage. Hojo simply smirks. He opens two capsules and he summons a bad rap sampler and a poodler sampler.

Hojo: Hee, hee! Is that all you got? Go, my samplers! Kill!

The samplers attack Cid and Cloud. Cloud counters, and Cid dodges the hit. While they are occupied, Hojo brings out his arm. He is wearing a bangle with green materia in it. He casts magic of some kind towards Tifa. It hits her and she starts to feel strange.

Tifa: Wh- What did you just-

Tifa's world starts to become bigger as she begins to shrink in size. He has casted mini on her with the transform materia. As Cloud and Cid fight off the samplers, Hojo approaches Tifa and swipes her up in his hand. Hojo brings her up to his face and licks his lips. He gives her a lick.

Tifa: L-LET GO OF ME YOU CREEP! ARGH!!

Tifa yells out, Cloud and Cid turn around to see Hojo about to lower Tifa into his mouth as his saliva drips from her.

Cloud and Cid: TIFA??

Hojo quickly shoves Tifa into his mouth and swallows her. As Cloud and Cid are in shock they have barely any time to react. Cloud is attacked by both of the samplers and Cid is frozen in place with bewilderment.

Hojo: Your turn now, Highwind

Hojo hits Cid with the mini magic next and he too begins to shrink in size. He falls on his ass in shock as Hojo looms over his petite form.

Cid: Oh shit.

Cloud defeats the two samplers just as he hears Cid crying out for help. He begins to panic

Cid: CLOUD, HELP A MAN OUT WOULD YA!

Cloud sees Hojo with a small Cid sticking out of his mouth. Cid too is swallowed by Hojo.

Cloud: Tifa, Cid, don't worry, I'll uh, find something, UHH,

Cloud scrambles around in the inventory but he's unable to find any remedies or cornucopias.

Cloud: (shit, shit, shit)

Hojo approaches Cloud and choke slams him against the wall

Cloud: H-How are you so strong? You're a frail old man!

Hojo: Didn't I tell you three earlier? I've injected jenova's cells into my body, hee, hee! And I must say, the results are rather pleasing so far. Explaining any further would be a waste of time to someone of inferior intellect!

Hojo casts mini on Cloud and he too shrinks down into the palm of Hojo's hand. With his free hand he pinches Cloud's tiny buster sword and puts it in his pocket where Cid's staff also resides.

Hojo: You won't be needing that anymore. And now, it's your turn, failure.

With his free hand he picks up Cloud between his fingers. Cloud wriggling to futile effect. Hojo puts Cloud on his tongue and tips his body into his mouth. Hojo glups and a small lump is visibly seen going down his neck. Internal shot as Cloud slides down Hojo's throat and is released into his belly. He splashes into the shallow pool below where Tifa and Cid are waiting for him. The stomach isn't completely dark. There is actually a faint glow all around them. No doubt due to the jenova cells altering Hojo's body.

Tifa: Nice of you to drop by, Cloud.

Cid: Goddammit, that bastard even managed to eat you…

Cloud: You know, after everything I've been through, nothing should phase me anymore. But this- This is-

Cid: I think the initial shock is the worst part of it. At least there's a faint glow in here so we can see a bit. Must be his science experiment cells causing it.

Putting both hands on his belly, Hojo let's out a belch. He smiles smugly.

Hojo: UUURRRRP Ah, despite being a first class SOLDIER you don't exactly cut it for a first class meal.

Meanwhile inside Hojo's stomach the trio can hear whatever is going on outside.

Cloud: I-Is he mocking me?

Cid: No shit.

Tifa: HEY, HOJO, LET US OUT OR YOU'LL REGRET IT!

Hojo: Hee, hee, hee! That's funny. Food isn't meant to talk. I'd say this experiment was a success, wouldn't you?

Cid: Grr… When I get outta here I'm gonna kill him!

Cloud: IF we get out of here.

Tifa: We will, of course we will. We're AVALANCHE, saviours of the planet. It can't end like this.

As Hojo begins to walk back to the control panel the trio lose balance and fall over due to the sudden shift in movement

Cloud: If only Barret was here. He'd be able to gun out Hojo's insides easily…

Cid: If Vincent were here, his hatred for Hojo would've unleashed his demons or whatever they are and he would be able to tear Hojo a new one from the inside.

Cloud: We're powerless. He disarmed us so easily too. This is pathetic…

Tifa: Maybe for the two of you, but not for me!! I've got my fists. And I'm gonna teach this old pervert a lesson - that he shouldn't mess with us!

Tifa rotates her arm in a circular motion before landing a punch against the stomach lining of Hojo. Her fist is stuck slightly in the squishy muscle and doesn't seem to garner any reaction from Hojo. It does one point of damage.

Tifa: Okay… That was just one punch though. How about THIS!

Tifa launches a flurry of punches. Her limit gauge is maxed out so now she can perform a limit break. She performs beat rush and dolphin blow (hitting the slots as a hit miss hit)

Tifa: YEAH, YOU LIKE THAT? NOW HOW ABOUT THIS! BEAT RUSH! DOLPHIN BLOW!

Each hit only does 1 point of damage and is thus highly ineffective. Cid and Cloud look at her.

Cid: I don't think it's working, Tifa.

Tifa: But, But I-

Cloud: Yeah… We're really not gonna be able to do anything like this.

Tifa: Darn it. Well, at least I tried.

Cid: 'appreciate it.

Hojo sits down and pats his belly as Tifa, Cid, and Cloud uncomfortably squirm inside of him.

Hojo: Are you having fun in there? Tiring yourselves out will make digesting you three easier y'know. Not that I'm complaining.

Cloud: Okay, new plan. Let's try coming back out the way we came. Tifa can you get on all fours for me?

Tifa: Excuse me?

Cloud: So I can use you as a stepping stone to reach the uh, exit.

Tifa: … Sure.

Cloud climbs on Tifa and pries open the sphincter.

Cloud: Okay, here's the plan, I'll get out first. Once I'm free I'm going to drop down and get my Buster sword. Then, I'm going to climb Hojo and cut him open so you guys can then escape.

Cid: It's not foolproof, but hey, it's better than nothing.

Cloud: Cid, can you grab my legs and just lift me up a little?

Cid: Sure thing. Good luck, pointy.

Cloud manages to wriggle his way up. Even though the esophagus is slimy and hard to grip, Cloud manages to climb up a little despite his whole body feeling crushed.

There is a megalixir on the control panel. Hojo pops the lid off and downs all of it. Cloud can sense the rush of liquid coming but he isn't able to do anything in time

Cloud: Oh are you fucking kidding me-

With great force Cloud is flushed back down and drenched.

Tifa: Dammit!

Cid: That bastard Hojo really wants to keep us down here, huh.

The Megalixir keeps coming and the once shallow pool in the stomach has now gone up their chests. There is nothing the trio can do. Tifa puts herself against the wall and steps on her tippy toes but it's no use.

Tifa: Ew, yuck! Everything's all wet!

Cloud: Urgh... It's a constant stream of-

In turn their MP and HP is restored.

Cid: Megalixir! This just might be the ticket out of here!

Cloud: Hmm… Maybe now, we can use a summon to help us out.

Cid: ARE YOU FUCKING INSANE? That'd kill us, guaranteed!

Tifa: How about I try some normal magic. We've got the materia to do so.

Cid: This place is so cramped there's no way it wouldn't affect us as well. Don't even think about casting Bolt magic, we'd all be electrocuted too with all this wet shit around.

Tifa: At the very least, it might help to try and cast slow on Hojo so we have more time before the acid really starts biting into us. My legs are already feeling tingly and that's not good.

Cloud: Good thinking, Tifa.

Tifa: Aw Cloud, thanks! You know I try.

Cloud: You always were the better thinker of the two of us!

Cid: Hrmm… Yeesh, get a room, you two.

Cloud: We kind of already are in one.

Cid: I don't want to see any of that lovey dovey shit. I got enough problems as it is, I don't need to be reminded that I'm a third wheel here too.

Tifa casts slow on Hojo. After downing the Megalixir his belly is a little bloated. He immediately feels the effects of slow and his movements become sluggish. It takes him slightly aback

Hojo: Playing with magic now, are we…? I should've taken that variable into account. No matter.

Cid: Wait, how about this too?

Cid casts sleep on Hojo. The old man starts to feel drowsy and puts a hand to his forehead.

Hojo: You're only delaying the inevitable y'know…

He yawns.

Hojo: When I awake I expect the three of you to have returned to the lifestream… zzzz….

Tifa: Okay, this should buy us some time to think.

Cid: Hmm…

They all stand around and think as Cloud rummages through the inventory, when he pulls out a green materia. Tifa also starts having to heal herself and her friends with cure.

Cid: Fuck. It's starting to sting, I can feel it.

Tifa: Don't worry, I've got you.

Cloud: Wait! I got it! We've got transform materia too, so… Why don't I just cast mini on ourselves?

Tifa: Huh?

Cid: What?

Cloud: Yeah! The way mini works if it gets cast on you, you get shrunk and you can't do much right? But if it's cast on you again, the effect reverses and we'll grow back to normal size!

Cid: Are you suggesting that we essentially burst out of here? I mean, there's no way he could stomach us at regular size...

Cloud: Exactly!

Tifa: That's a lil gross, Cloud.

Cloud: Tifa, it's either this or we go down south. And I'm sure, none of us want that.

Though feeling groggy Hojo awakens. He feels discomforted and puts a hand on his belly.

Hojo: Ah… What are you trying now?

Hojo's belly begins to expand much to his surprise. He belches as it proceeds to get bigger.

Hojo: UWUUURP O-Oh! That's-!

He ejects himself from his chair as his belly starts becoming so big it touches the floor. Hojo starts moaning in distress. Cuts to Tifa, Cloud, and Cid growing in size within Hojo.

Cloud: It's working, I think we're returning to normal size!  WHAT'S WRONG HOJO? BIT OFF MORE THAN YOU COULD CHEW?

Hojo: Ah… Ah… Urghh… HUUORP S-So tight, urghh…! You horrible little failed clone, you-!

Too heavy to stand Hojo sits on the ground as his belly continues to grow. He lies down, panting, as his stomach finally ceases to enlarge. It cuts to the trio still stuck inside Hojo except now they are all practically squashed together.

Cloud: Hahahaha...! Well uh….

Cid: WHAT THE FUCK, CLOUD, YOU'VE JUST MADE EVERYTHING MORE CRAMPED!

Cloud: At least we're not close to drowning anymore, right?

Tifa: Wh- There's no way he should still be able to hold all of us. His stomach should've split!

Hojo: Huff… Huff… BUUURRP Is that what you were planning? Hah! You underestimate the effects of the jenova cells in my body.

Hojo stokes his engorged belly gently. Surprised by how well it could hold down its meal in spite of how taut his skin felt.

Hojo: This is… different.

His face is flushed. He explores his gut with his hands panting as he does so. His stomach also becomes much noisier

Hojo: UUUURRP (It hurts terribly, I feel so full… And yet it feels pleasurable. I could get used to this.)

He starts moaning again.

Tifa: That gross old pervert! He's getting off to this!

Cloud: Well just try to make him uncomfortable then, start thrashing about a bit. Maybe we can break out that way!

The trio writhe around pushing and kicking as much as they can but Hojo merely smiles.

Hojo: Ah… You shouldn't. I'm enjoying this a lot more than I should…

Cid: Guys, this isn't getting us anyway. We have to conserve our energy.

Hojo: It's rather entertaining to see how pathetically you squirm. As a scientist, getting front row seats to such a phenomenon has been a joy to observe.

Cloud: Maybe I should just cast mini again. It'll give us more space to work with.

Tifa: Wait, don't, not yet.

Cid: What? Why?

Tifa: I don't think Hojo's able move, we're too heavy for him. He can't fire the Sister Ray while we weigh him down.

Hojo: As much as I hate to admit it, you make an accurate observation. But there's no rush. No one is going to come up here.

Cloud: So that's it then? We're just stuck then? Until we suffocate or digest?

Cid: Hey, don't be like that. If Shera was here, she'd say the darndest thing. I wonder how she's doing right now… I wonder if she's thinking of me?

Cloud: I wonder if the others are thinking about us.

There's a brief moment of silence.

Tifa:...Maybe we can ask them for help. I mean, we do have the PHS, right?

Cid: Yeah, right here. Considering Reeve is the one who told us about Hojo's plan in the first place, I might as well call him.

The PHS rings a few times. Cloud and Tifa listen intently

Cid: Come on… Come on… Pick up you damn phone…

Cait Sith: Hello….?

Cloud and Tifa's faces light up.

Tifa: Cid, put it on speaker.

Cid: Reeve! It's me! Cid!

Cait Sith: Cid, we're back on the Highwind now. Where are ya? Did you stop Hojo? I mean the Sister Ray hasn't been fired again so… You want us to pick you up?

Cid: Uhhh, not quite. The good news is that Hojo seems to be distracted and the Sister Ray hasn't been fired again yet. The bad news is that we're the distraction. We're not in a position to take him down.

Cait Sith:... What's stopping you from taking him down?

Cloud: Um… He cast mini on us. And then he uh… Ate us?

Barret: HE WHAT??

Cloud: We're… inside of Hojo right now. We are quite literally weighing him down.

Barret: Wait, how are you weighing him down if y'all are small?

Tifa: Well, SOMEONE thought it would be a good idea to recast mini.

Cid: Fat lot of good that did.

Cloud: Guys, come on, you can't blame me for thinking it would work.

Vincent: Hojo… That fiend… If I could get my hands on him…

Barret: You guys didn't equip any ribbons? Or bring anything to heal with? You guys didn't use esuna?

Cloud: No Barret, no, we didn't. We thought it would be easy because Hojo is just some guy. He injected jenova's cells into himself and it caught us all off guard.

Cait Sith:... Yeah that sounds like something Professor Hojo would do. He's one unhinged guy. He's got more than a few screws loose, and he only showed up to our meetings whenever he felt like it.

Hojo: Is that Reeve you're calling in there? Hah! I don't envy his position at all.

Cid: Reeve, could you do us a favour and come with the others to help us out-

Hojo: Reinforcements, huh? Are you getting lonely in there? Do you want more company to join you? If that's what you three want I'm more than happy to oblige, hee, hee. If you try and kill me, you know you put yourselves at risk too, and you wouldn't want that, now would you?

Cid:... Actually scratch what I said, just get Vincent to come over here.

Cait Sith: Just Vincent, are you sure?

Cid: Yeah, just Vincent. I know he'd jump at a chance to get even with Hojo. If anyone has the best shot of helping us, it's him.

Cait Sith: Anything else?

Cid: Not really. There's not much we can really do.

Barret: You guys better not die on us!

Cid: We'll try not to. Anyway, Cid, out.

Cid cuts the line.

Cait Sith: Looks like you're up, Valentine.

Back to Hojo.

Hojo: Vincent? Vincent Valentine? The turk? I killed that fool once, I'll gladly do it again.

Cid: You know he's got a gun, right? And he can turn into a demon?

Hojo: You know I have a gun too, right? It's how I killed him the first time. Gwah, hah, hah!

Hojo takes out his gun and starts waving it around.

Hojo: And those demons… I was the one who put them in him in the first place. I know all his weaknesses. You're so slow on the update, you look stupid, Highwind. Or I'd imagine you'd look stupid if I could see you.

Cloud: Okay guys, we have to seriously contemplate getting out of here.

Cloud starts to talk in a whisper

Cloud: And try and talk as quietly as you can so Hojo doesn't hear us as easily.

Cid: We can just wait for Vincent, right? Hojo's just talking shit. He can become the chainsaw demon and cut Hojo right open.

Tifa: That would absolutely be the fastest way to get us killed.

Cid: But if we become mini again, Hojo will be able to fire the Sister Ray.

Cloud: How about only one of us become mini and the other two hold Hojo down. And by one of us I mean me because I've got a sword. Hojo's got it in his pocket and if I can get it we're home free.

Cid: Aye that's fair I guess.

Cloud: Then when I get out, I cast mini on myself to return to normal, cast silence on Hojo so he can't try anything, and then I'll cut him open.

Tifa: Cloud, you might cut into us if you do that!

Cloud: Just make yourselves mini. And cast barrier just in case too.

Cid: Uh, we only have one transform materia, and at that point you'd have it. You wouldn't be able to cast mini on us because we're inside of Hojo.

Cloud: That's where you're wrong. There IS another transform materia - Hojo's. I'll remove it from his bangle and force him to swallow it. Then when it reaches you two, simply use it. When there's an opening, I'll reach inside of Hojo and pull you out.

Tifa: A little gruesome but, it sounds like a good plan.

Cid: So how are you going to climb out?

Cloud: Tifa, you're closest to the hole so I need you to shove your arm in there and push me as far as you can, and then I can get going from there.

Tifa: You think you'd be able to climb out this time?

Cloud: As long as Hojo doesn't drink or eat anything but I don't think he can reach for any at the moment.

Cid: Good luck, spikey.

Cloud: I'll be fine, trust me. I'm SOLDIER, first class.

Tifa: Not really, but close enough.

Cloud casts mini on himself and shrinks down. Tifa picks him up and shoves her arm up the stomach sphincter. Once Cloud starts climbing up she removes her arm.

Tifa:... Good luck, Cloud.

She casts cure on her and Cid again as the acid starts to bite at their skin once more.

Cloud climbs up and reaches up Hojo's throat. The old man starts to gag and attempts to swallow Cloud back down. Cloud persists however with his grip, reaching the mouth.

Hojo: (Persistent little pest…)

Hojo clenches his teeth to try and cage Cloud in. He keeps trying to swallow Cloud back down but the mercenary holds onto Hojo's tongue. With his strength and determination Cloud is able to pry open Hojo's jaws and make a risky jump towards his lab coat. Covered in saliva, Cloud slides his way down right into Hojo's pocket retrieving his Buster sword and Cid's staff. As he does so Hojo grabs Cloud.

Hojo: Think you could escape, eh? It's time to put you back in your place, my little failure! H-Huh?!

Hojo let's go as Cloud begins to grow, the buster sword slicing into Hojo's hand. He is briefly unable to act while it bleeds. Cloud casts silence.

Cloud: Your failure, huh? I don't think that's quite right. Let's get the facts straight. I'm Cloud Strife, born and raised in Nibelheim. And I'm my own greatest success!

Cloud puts his sword on his back and lunges towards Hojo, wrestling with his arm in an attempt to remove the transform material from Hojo. Using his mug skill, Cloud manages to take it.

Cloud: I'll be taking that, thank you.

Hojo: (What are you going to do? Cast mini on me? Tough luck, I'm immune to it.)

Cloud pokes his finger on top of Hojo's belly with holding the materia in his other hand.

Cloud: I've got friends who need to use this, so you're going to help them out.

Cloud grabs Hojo and forcibly pries his mouth open, with his other hand he shoves the transform material down his throat.

Hojo: ARGH-

He puts his hands around his mouth forcing him to swallow. When the material reaches Cid and Tifa, Cid equips and uses it. On the outside as Cloud still has his hands clasped around Hojo, the old man's belly begins to shrink. Tifa then uses barrier on Cid and herself. Unable to quickly react due to the effects of slow from earlier, Cloud pins Hojo down with his foot. He raises the Buster sword and slashes it across Hojo's abdomen to which he cries out in pain. Cloud then reaches in, pulling out Tifa and Cid.

Tifa: Cloud! You did it! You saved us!

Cid: Holy shit that actually worked.

Cloud: Hold on tight while I return you guys to normal.

Cloud casts mini on Cid and Tifa returning them to regular size once again. Cloud hands Cid his staff. Hojo is on the ground writhing in agony.

Cloud: Now it's time to give you a well deserved ass kicking.

Vincent has arrived. He arrived a bit earlier but because he has a quiet presence, nobody noticed him. He saw Cloud pull Cid and Tifa out of Hojo.

Vincent: Mind if I take the last shot?

The trio turn around

Cid: VINCENT! Great timing!

Vincent: I've got a clear shot… I've been waiting for this moment for over 27 years… This is for Lucrecia, you monster.

As Hojo staggers up to regain balance, Vincent shoots him right between the eyes and he collapses again.

Vincent: It is finished.

Cid: YEAH!!! GO VINCENT!!

Vincent: You lot… Absolutely stink. And that's coming from me.

Tifa: Ha, ha! Quiet, coffin boy.

Vincent:... Boy? I'm older than you are. I'm older than all of you.

Cloud: Well, it took a while, but we stopped Hojo. Now all we have to do is go to the Northern Crater and stop Sephiroth. We don't have much time until Meteor falls.

Hojo: 'Stopped Hojo'? My little experiments, we're only just beginning.

Hojo staggers up despite there being a bullet hole in his head and a large bloody gash across his abdomen.

Hojo: Haw… Now let's see how the mako juice is reacting?

Hojo grotesquely transforms into Helletic Hojo.

Vincent: Friends, you've been through enough, let me take care of this. It's been a long time coming. CHAOS!!

Vincent's limit break activates and he transforms into Chaos.

Cid: YES!!!

Vincent as Chaos run and leaps towards Hojo, dodging his attacks. Then when he's in a good spot, charges.

Vincent: SATAN SLAM!!

Hojo is completely obliterated and his horrific body collapses and melts to the ground.

Vincent: It is over…

Cloud: Thank the heavens. Now, we can go and stop Sephiro-

Tifa: GUYS WATCH OUT!

From the corpse of Hojo, Lifeform Hojo N arises.

Cid: Oh for fuck's sake.

Hojo: I AM UNKILLABLE. YOU FOOLS, YOU CANNOT STOP ME! HEE HEE! SEPHIROTH, MY PERFECT SON, I SHALL GIVE YOU THE LIFE FORCE OF THE PLANET!

Hojo drifts towards the control panel.

Cid: Aw shit, he's too high for us to reach.

Cloud: At this rate the Sister Ray will-

Vincent: ENOUGH... Your soul will be mine, Hojo.

Vincent as Chaos leaps into the air grabbing Hojo's back tendril. Reeling him in, Vincent proceeds to shove Hojo whole down his throat, slurping him down.

Hojo: LET GO OF ME, YOU- YOU-

Vincent gulps down Hojo and transforms back to normal, his belly distended as a human. His belts and cloak barely holding together. He lowers his cape and belches lightly.

Vincent: URP. Excuse me, my friends.

Cloud: Well, I wasn't expecting that.

Vincent: Apologies if that was a shock. I am not in complete control of Chaos. I have had a great hunger… For revenge.

Tifa: I'm sure you do.

Vincent: After spending the last 27 or so years sleeping in a coffin I guess you end up with an appetite to say the least...

Vincent pats his belly. Cid blushes slightly in awe of Vincent because he sees him as being very cool.

Cid: I uh… Didn't know you could do that.

Vincent: Hmm… There's a lot of things I can do. Maybe I can show you sometime.

Cid: Maybe you could try eating Sephiroth!

Vincent: I doubt I could.

Cid: You never know if you don't try.

Cid and Vincent start walking to leave.

Tifa: Cloud, you okay? You've just sort of been staring off into the distance.

Cloud: Am I okay? Not… really? This has all been very eventful.

Tifa: Well there's no use standing around and dwelling on it. Come on, let's get back to the airship! I can't wait to take a shower.

Cloud looks back at something and doesn't say anything. Tifa grabs his attention with a tease.

Tifa: I'll let you take a shower with me~

Cloud: Sure thing, Tifa, sure thing.

Tifa: I knew you'd be into it.

The four walk away. Cid ecstatically talks to a stoic Vincent, and Tifa leaning on Cloud's shoulder. Hojo's broken spectacles remain on the floor in the foreground.

The End!
