It’s like some strange emotions, like... A week has already passed, but [the emotions] still don’t matter...” Perfecto: “It’s only getting better, yes, yes. There will be another month, it’s a terrible imbecile.” M0NESY: “It’s like it’s developing inside, developing.” Perfecto: “Don’t you have something that makes you even more thirsty for the championship?
