Baroque, a term derived from the Portuguese word "barroco" (distorted pearl), refers to "distorted fantasies" in this world. People who live in this devastated world cling to their Baroques in order to survive. These fantasies not only distort the mind, but the body as well. The term Baroque refers to both the idea that distorts the affected person and those infected by these ideas.
