“He was about to faint”

– Then I was completely torn. I had to sit on the road, I had low blood sugar and was on the verge of fainting. Right after that, you’re not much human. But once you get some rest and take some food. The next two weeks will be almost complete rest. And then the soul also needs to recover after a day like this.
