Note:

All is hazy and intangible in this shadowy plane. Shapes are blurred and colors are smeared. Your senses are vague as you struggle to find your bearings. You see angles and outlines but they are not understandable in this abstract world. You try to focus your eyes on a single figure, and you almost perceive it, but your eyes grow dim, and it soon fades into the foggy background. Now everything is amorphous. Everything is nebulous.
