Esta frase resume la mezcla de estallido sensorial y derrumbe psicológico que desbordó al periodista Abraham Jiménez Enoa después de exiliarse en 2022 en Barcelona. Todo era confuso, acelerado, de una voluptuosidad material demente («Bienvenido, aquí se satisface el síndrome de la compulsión», leyó a la entrada de una tienda) y, además, el racismo estructural que había conocido en la isla se transformaba ahora en una xenofobia explícita y hostil de miradas, insultos y desconfianzas.
