[[very close, flat, almost monotone]] Voice intact No delay detected I said my name it sounded right I said it twice just to be sure [[slight slip]] But it didn’t stay [[tiny child whisper, far]] …stay [[short pause]] They wrote it down line by line “Subject is fine” I read it back it looks like me But I don’t feel it [[breath slightly audible now]] There’s a delay when I try to feel Like it comes in after it’s gone I think I had it just a second ago [[small silence]] [[first soft emotion, fragile]] wait… don’t close it yet there was something warm I don’t know what but it mattered [[closer, thinning]] I don’t need to fix it just… let me keep it a little longer [[tiny child whisper overlaps]] …don’t forget [[final fade, almost air]] I remember… so please… just this part…
