Either in a muddled phase or not, the mind travels through various states: fear, solitude, joy, sadness… The internal is shaken from everywhere and control is acquainted with absence. The wait is hoping for liberation as long as even the tallest is being filtered by the fog. The rhythm has been broken.

— Martin Leclerc [English translation: François Couture, x-07]
