A morning after a party. It's a beautiful sunny day(the blue figure at the top middle), but you don't feel well. The illness is called hangover. You don't remember much of the party, it is in the thick fog(the white background). On your bed(the white background figure in the center) a naked girl(the brown figure in the center) is lying that you can swear you never saw before. On the table (the dark brown figures on the sides) there are bottles, leftovers, broken glass. Everything is splitting into pieces, sharp parts, with many sharp corners and edges. And they all are spinning around you. Even the table is cracked in two and has multiple corners, though yesterday it was one big solid circle.

Dance party. It's dark. People are seen in the flashes of background light. You don't see them moving continuously, but as in a stop frame video. You not only hear the music, you feel it. Everything is vibrating with the rhythm.You feel somehow connected to other people in the room. You all are one in the dance.
