Enthralled, he looses the notion of time and remembers some pictures from his childhood ... and from the unusual suitcase he get Fire, Rose and Cube. Because of Cube or of something else, he asked himself: Who am I? Or was that the question he had been asked from someone. Dorian doesn't release he had iniced the New Bcgining. The first light. Sound. The first reaction of the body... And a question: What is behind of love? Tracing further behind the border, Dorian find himself between the two paces of New Beauty, whose every pace is death.
