[whisper] Off the record, about 20-30% of the comments are just from

[Intro: Monotone Whisper / Cold Tape Click]
One at the center.
One, at the center of the melody.
Turn right, bend upward.
A small vortex begins to coil.

[Verse 1: Android Style]
Everyday life packed tightly into a grid
1, 2, 3, 4, 5…
Everyone arranged correctly, at equal intervals
And within it all
I was floating, indivisible by anyone
While you remained a point apart

2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19…
A whimsical probability
I thought we simply happened to inhabit the same night

[Glitched String Swell / Low Sub-Bass]

[Verse 2: Android Style]
The numbers grow larger
The spiral expands outward
The distance slowly drifts apart
A darkness where we might lose our way
And yet
When the whole is seen from a little farther away
An unfamiliar diagonal line
Was quietly beginning to emerge

29, 31, 37, 41, 43…

[Pre-Chorus: Whispered Fragments]
Zoom out.
I thought we were merely dots
There was not a single reason
To lean toward each other
And yet…

[Chorus: Soft Japanese vocals delivered with an expressionless tone.]
With every turn of the spiral
You appear at the same angle
Should I laugh and call it a trick of probability?
The line extends far too straight
A position decided in advance
Upon a grid that cannot be moved
Were we drawn toward each other?
No.
We had simply been there from the beginning.

[Interlude: Melted Rhodes Chords / Minimal
IDM Break]

[Verse 3: Android Style]
In a world like a doodle drawn by someone
Without ever exchanging a word
Without ever giving it a name
At the end of the diagonal line
Your presence always falls
To call it coincidence
Language is far too convenient

[Bridge: Sparse / Close Mic]
We were not passing each other by
We were merely completing revolutions
Until, at last, we met
Upon the redrawn line
Our two points overlapped

[Final Chorus: Soft Japanese vocals delivered with an expressionless tone.]
Two isolated things without a shape
Become a single diagonal line
Cutting through the night
Did we draw each other closer?
I was never looking for you
But when the world was folded into a spiral
…there I was, beside you…

[Outro: Fading Analog Drone / Glitch Clicks]
1, 2, 3…
The spiral never ends
But I will look no longer
At the end of the line

[Spoken / Emotionless Whisper / Extremely Close]

……今夜は月が綺麗ですね。
