I'm fully awake for the first time. Fully conscious, the fog blown away. Everything is sharp.

Calm, intelligent Federico, a few yards away, is now that image, my center of gravity. I no longer feel I have to get somewhere else or escape. I'm present, in the moment. In the middle of the worst stubble and grunge of Panama, everything has stopped.
