When the ice pyramid collapsed on the Fort, when the lame moneylender, who had forgotten his own vow, went out to sea, when Sebastian Marth undertook to cast out demons, that’s when everything went wrong. Or, on the contrary, that’s when the fun began? Who knows? As Baron Munchausen said: “There are no hopeless situations.” But no lucky ticket will help you get out of a city stuck in an apocalypse that has lasted for many centuries.
