A close-up is seen of a young teenage boy pressing a knife to his bare chest and slowly sliding it down to carve a pattern into his torso. The blood is caught in a small cup, intended for a girl to drink (she is stopped before is reaches her mouth) It is later revealed that this was a ceremony for the boy's birthday.
