Because at such heights of the day (almost the 21 PM), a free concert by a really famous Chilean romantic ballad singer had already begun in the Plaza de Armas, nearby AFA gallery, that the reality which could adhere to Manfred’s work -like mesh or a frame- had become perhaps too Real (like a romantic ballad). For this reason we decided not to publish the audio recording of this passage.
