00:00:57 Perhaps only in our children, in the very first years of their age

00:02:13 The truth became clear to me last November
00:02:25 If not that girl
00:02:38 Mister!
00:03:11 I will become null.
00:04:12 I shoot myself and the world is gone
00:04:29 And that point I fell asleep
00:06:13 How can such a repeat be possible?
00:08:35 But never have I noticed urges of that cruel pleasure-seeking
00:09:30 If this dream showed me the truth
