Locked together, Angel and Devil are forced to move in the same space. Their original differences fade away until they themselves no longer know who they were and what they are. What has happened to those forces which were once supposed to create order and help us correctly discern the things, love or hate them? Are we living in a time in which, afraid of unambiguousness, we walk through the world not distinguishing black from white, instead of being flexible?

Devil: Do you remember when our voices alone were important?

Angel: Yes. And now, THEY are just passing by, without recognizing us.

Devil: Nobody looks with his/her own eyes, nobody hears with his/her own ears and nobody has the heart to understand.

Angel: The new time is full of images and THEY think those images will help them supress their fears.

Devil: The whirl of the time will swallow us.

Angel: I feel something very strange.

Devil: What?

Angel: I no longer really hate you…
