This work tells about the change in the emotional state of people who were forced to leave their homes and flee from the war. When a person flees a war zone or occupied territory and arrives in a relatively safe place, at first their inner state and emotions are solid and crystal-like. Over time, when a person relaxes a little, forgets a little about the sounds of explosions and air raid signals, their emotions begin to resemble water. The waves are sometimes stormy and sometimes calmer. And when a person becomes even more secluded in the bosom of nature, releases inner tension and finds a point of support in themself, their emotions become light and tender, like gas.
