* '''Deconstructed''': Flora is a genetically engendered animal created by evolutionary biologists for science, She has since lost the ability to communicate with her own species, and thus other squirrels shun her, she tries to make friends with humans, but humans either think they are hallucinating, run in terror or worse try to put Flora in a carnival freak show, Flora dies lonely and alienated from both her own kind and humans.
* '''Reconstructed''': After meeting Flora and discovering how intelligent she is, people conclude she is no different from humans and allow her into society, eventually scientists create a mate for Flora so talking squirrels can become a proper species.
