I was a wrong man in a wrong time.
I am Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
Sometimes I am 53 and sometimes I'm 65.
Like a foreign person in a world that they didn't understand.
Nobody can understand me.
And I felt for a long time.
Pierre Dante, Pierre Piccioni, is an unwilling time traveller.
He woke up in the future, his loved ones different,
the world changed, his own face unrecognisable.
A Dr Jekyll who discovered he also had a darker side.

Hello, I'm Jo Fidgen.
This story ends on the 25th of October 2001 and begins again on the 31st of May.
2013, in a hospital bed in northern Italy.
Pierre was actually in charge of the emergency wards,
but on that day he woke up as a patient, some hours after a serious car crash.
The thing I saw was a white light.
And it was the light of the emergency room where my colleagues put me after the accident.
I remained in coma about six hours.
