Whoever pauses will be petrified; whoever stops, pinned like an insect, his heart pierced by wooden needle, his hands and feet drilled through and pinned into the threshold and the ceiling.

I don't know why this language of truth sounds angelic to some, while to others it changes into mathematical signs or notations. But there are ak, those to whose whim it speaks in a very strange way.

The threat of death slipped away. There's nothing to be afraid of. We are a mechanism, something like Huygens's clock.
