Forget what I’m about to say right away, don’t take me seriously. Listen in a whisper, understand out loud.

I walked along the edge of a shadow, overwhelmed by the weight of my own body.

I opened my arms to the being that brought the nightmare here and embraced it tighter than I ever did with those I love.

I was cold, yet I fell asleep undisturbed by the hardness of the things I saw while shivering.

I know how I got here. Now I’m walking through this door as a result of all my choices.

I saw that I was being followed; the one behind me tried to hide. When I saw it, I realized how small and fragile I truly was.

We realized we had so much in common, and our conversation lasted for hours. The things that wounded me had already made them stronger.

This time of year, I always return to the same place — a dreamlike garden — to capture the most beautiful image I can.

I wish for a floating mind, to keep everything above water and never feel the fear of depth.

I’m not disturbed by what happened, but I wish it had been faster, harsher, and filled with more pain.

I saw peace within the chaos, and I carry everything I’ve let go with me so I won’t forget.

We didn’t come to scare you — but don’t hide your emotions. It’s not like we don’t enjoy frightening you.

Since the moment we began this day, we’ve been inside a dream — the feet we travel with do not belong to us.

We’ll find the source of the malfunction, shut everything down — and return to life again, in new and different forms.

I’m tired of the Earth — I’m leaving to find different surfaces. I will keep ascending until I become a single point.

I’m dozens of meters above a deep and dark sea, yet it’s still not as frightening as looking down from a tall building.

Loneliness, for me, is like painting a massive object in vibrant colors, then watching the paint slowly drip away—forcing me to confront its true form once again.

I see the shadow of sounds, watching the stains they leave on trees and buildings shift and move.

There was nothing they didn’t do for our friendship. They showed me how much they loved me and what they were willing to do to protect me.

I can feel its power—how much longer can the strength of what’s waiting inside me keep me standing?

I allowed them to experiment on me. Through this, I’m hoping the things I wondered about — the ones hidden in the dark — will finally come to light.
