A girl tries to answer the big questions: she imagines she can empty the universe and then finds herself alone, as the smallest part of the universe. She is then forced to choose whether to consider herself as part of the cosmos, or as its creator. She stops and asks herself: shall I destroy myself? Or shall I destroy the universe?
