00:21It all started almost imperceptibly.
00:26A night or two of poor sleep.
00:29Nothing unusual really.
00:32But then, we noticed something strange.
00:38Work started to be more protective.
00:41The hours stretched.
00:43Our numbers were never as high as there.
00:46It seemed like a blessing.
00:48I could do everything.
00:51Work, study, take care of the house.
00:54Without sleeping.
00:57Without ever stopping.
01:01I left.
01:04But I still hear the...
01:08It was as if time had doubled for us somehow.
01:16At first we celebrated.
01:18We thought it was a stroke of luck.
01:20That we had overcome fatigue.
01:23Overcome biology even.
01:26But soon...
01:27Soon enough, things began to go wrong.
01:32You see, what happened in that office defies any diagnosis.
01:36Extreme sleep deprivation?
01:38Oh yes, it can cause hallucinations, psychosis, mental breakdown even.
01:42But this, this was different.
01:45It was as if an idea, an invisible force, an acute anxiety you might say, had infiltrated their
01:52collective unconscious.
01:54Something that didn't want to deprive them of sleep, but refused to shut down.
01:58That's why it all ended that way.
02:02Grail faces.
02:04Empty eyes.
02:07Conversations that no longer made any sense.
02:13Nervous laughter in the middle of the night.
02:17People who talked to themselves were worse.
02:22People who talked to someone who wasn't there at all.
02:29And...
02:29I saw it all.
02:31I tried, I tried.
02:34But it was too late.
02:36When there was no turn back.
02:38When I saw that they were trapped.
02:41Forever awake.
02:42I understood what I had to do.
02:45Freeing them was the only way out.
02:48Those eyes.
02:49Those eyes, they wouldn't stop looking at me.
02:54They not only had any light, they were dry.
02:57There was no other solution.
02:59You understand that, right?
03:03And then it was left again.
03:05Forever.
03:06Forever.
03:07Forever.
03:20The world became a sleepless prison.
03:23Please me
