In her bed at home in Bromma, Agnes wakes up with a jolt. Something has startled her. Cautiously, she sneaks up to the window and peeks out from behind the curtain. The wind is blowing in the tree canopy outside the house and the darkness is compact. Suddenly something yellow gleams out from behind a little lilac bush. What is that? Agnes closes her eyes, just for a moment. When she opens them again, the light is gone.
