Visionary music painting to Mozart's K45. Vision: feels like it’s the Sherlock Holmes era, city, clothes, horse carriages, cigars, city shoppers. Going into a store, he sees a girl dressed in blue is working behind the counter, shy. He sees barrels filled with candy, hasn't eaten in a while. Wearing a satchel, it’s heavy; he feels so alone, like no one cares about his pain.
