[You fall, you fall, and you fall... And for a moment, you fall back into yourself. Your true self, your memories of the castle and heaven all forgotten.
Adolphe, you are a child. You are also on a boat.
Your parents are angry. The waves crash violently against the sides of the boat, upsetting your already sensitive stomach. Your mouth tastes like vomit. Or maybe that's just the anxiety at watching them get so mad for no apparent reason at all. Honestly, you're not sure which one is worse.
Your mother and father speak to each other with raised voices and violent hand gestures, gesticulating as if they mean to strike but barely hold themselves back from doing so. Every now and then, one of them angrily gestures at you. The waves make it hard for you to pick up whatever they're talking about, but you know that it somehow involves you and that it is not good.
For all intents and purposes, you are alone. You can wander around the boat, or you can remain where you stand. But you must make a choice.]
