It was, it was six months, man. Not six months, six semesters. Uh... I had already planned this for a little more. It seems that I'm starting to see a bit better out of my eye, but very little or almost nothing. The time for the final conclusions has arrived. The time for the final conclusions has arrived.

At dawn on Friday, people came in their thousands, in their many colours and their many tribes, to be back in the sea. In this time of darkness, let's spread light, love and compassion, the crowd was urged, before thousands took surfboards and rescue boards, or simply swam out to join together in a mammoth circle in the sea, facing the middle of the beach.
The two young men were peers, brilliant aspiring scientists working toward a degree at Portugal's most prestigious engineering school, a white building at the top of a grassy plaza in Lisbon.
