Not yet fully awake he already feels the call alive, and he jumps out the window, onto the asphalt in a flight. 'What do these people want calling in the early morning?' Those who call remain silent, except one of them, perhaps the one in charge, who leans out the window. Behind, the mother screams. 'What do these people want calling in the early morning?' In the early morning they called, the clock indicates an hour. Now the student is dead, dead from a knock at dawn. 'What do these people want calling in the early morning?'
