The air was surprisingly warm when I left the premises of the polyclinic. The snow had receded and existed only in islands that were getting smaller and smaller, which, more dirty than white, stood out from the muddy-wet brown of the earth and the gray of the asphalt and the buildings. Everything disappears sometime. It had been Mrs. Simon who had told me that Sonja was with a few people up to plunder the wholesale market. If I remembered correctly, the bodies were found not far from there. Mrs. Simon had described the way to me quite well. It led past the tower of the High People, and basically I only had to follow the road to find the wholesale market after a few kilometers to my left.

I already knew the way to their tower, so I probably wouldn't have any problems finding Sonja. Of course I should make myself known in time to avoid being accidentally shot in the head. Following the tram tracks, I stomped off and had to be careful not to follow the inner urge to spend all my energy to speed things up. Nevertheless, I reached the realm of the High People quite quickly. Outside, in the immediate vicinity, I couldn't find any of them, but the sounds of life penetrated from the building to my ears. I tried to discover the cameras they had installed to secure their territory - but I could not. With every step I took, the noises became quieter, and when I had left their invisible territorial border behind me and overgrown, wild gardens and fields to the left and right of me were stretching out, which were only divided by the road I was on and single-lane railway tracks, there was nothing more to be heard. Despite the pressure I felt, despite my desire to help Gustav, the moment I was surrounded only by the barren nature of winter and had no people around me, I felt a heavy burden falling off me.

Maybe I shouldn't have started all this back then. The thing with the degenerates. With Wanda and Thomas and Mariam and all that had followed. Maybe I should have just kept walking, like I did now, just walking. But it was too late to think about it. Not only had I changed the lives I had entered, these encounters had also changed me. Somewhere dogs barked, not so close that it worried me, but close enough to make me concentrate on my surroundings again and postpone thinking until later. Anyway, the first buildings of the neighboring village appeared in my field of vision, and the wholesale market could not be far anymore. In fact, Mrs. Simon's directions soon proved to be correct. Once again, as I had done all this time, I repeated the names of the drugs Gustav had given me. Briaraetam. Diazepam he must have meant. And Clomentihazol. Then I repeated again. Then something on my left caught my attention. To the left the ground fell down about two meters from the road.
