"Pure darkness, then a ray of light. The clock hand is heard in the background, a new life begins. A journey of intrigue, a roller coaster of emotions. Oscillating, heartfelt. The story begins, unfolds. It survives. It hides from predators. It is free. Every stage, every moment will be engraved inside the cave. Pure darkness, the hand of the clock is no longer heard. Teardrop. Ether. What a journey!"
