[Intro — almost empty, low fluorescent room hum] [Distant wordless female vocal — sustained haunting "Aaaaaah..." for 4 bars, no lyrics, far behind the mix] [Juri — EXTREME CLOSE-MIC SPOKEN WHISPER, NOT SUNG] Don't blink. ... I saw that. [small breath] You're already scared. Good. [Azula — LOW DISTANT SPOKEN WHISPER, NOT SUNG] Keep looking at her. [Juri — quiet smile in voice] Heh... Listen to your wife. [LONG DEAD SILENCE] [BEAT SLAMS IN] [Verse 1 — Juri, husky, restrained, unstable] Keep your eyes right here. Don't watch my hands. Don't watch the door. Just me. That feeling in your chest? That isn't imagination. Your body understood before you did. I'm not angry. I'm not confused. I know exactly what this feeling is. [beat thins almost completely] I used to push it down. Pretend it disgusted me. Pretend I wanted it gone. [Juri — EXTREME CLOSE WHISPER] I don't anymore. [Juri — REAL NON-MELODIC BREATHY LAUGH] Heh... Heh-heh... Ha... Hahaha— [INSTANT SILENCE] [Azula — LOW SPOKEN WHISPER] Juri. [Juri — instantly calm] Hm? [Azula] Not yet. [Juri — smiling whisper] Fine. [Distant wordless female vocal — long trembling "Ooooooh...", far behind the mix] [Verse 2 — Azula, almost no drums] Do not look at me for comfort. I know why you did. Her eyes became too much. So you searched for something safer. And found mine. [LONG PAUSE] That was unfortunate. I keep my breathing slow. My hands steady. My face— [short silence] My face is becoming a problem. I pull my cheek. Force the smile down. It returns. Again. Wider. [Azula — strained whisper] Stop. ... Stop smiling. [one tiny involuntary laugh] ...No. [Juri — distant delighted whisper] Princess... [Azula — sudden sharp whisper] Don't. [Pre-Chorus — alternating whispers, sparse] [Juri] Look at me. [Azula] Not at me. [Juri] Don't blink. [Azula] Don't turn. [Juri] You felt it. [Azula] We noticed. [Both — close whisper] There is nowhere safe to look. [Chorus — crushing but sparse] [Both] DON'T LOOK AWAY Keep your eyes where they are If you leave hers YOU'LL FIND MINE IN THE DARK [Juri] I stopped fighting what lives underneath [Azula] I'm still fighting And starting to lose [Both] DON'T LOOK AWAY Don't make us move Just breathe And hope We lose interest before you do. [ALL DRUMS CUT] [Distant wordless female vocal — sustained haunting "Aaaaaah..." alone for 4 bars] [Juri — EXTREME CLOSE-MIC SPOKEN WHISPER] Still here? ... Good. [quiet non-melodic laugh] [Verse 3 — Juri, increasingly excited] There it is again. That click. Right behind my eyes. Everything gets quiet. Everything gets sharp. And suddenly— I know what I want. [breathing becomes faster] You can see it. That's why you haven't moved. That's why you're still staring. [Juri — REAL MANIC LAUGHTER, NOT SUNG] Ha... Hahaha... HAHAHA— [Azula cuts through instantly] Juri. [Juri — laughter stops dead] I know. [Azula] Do you? [Juri — whispered] No. [HALF-TIME DROP] [Azula — low voice, control cracking] Neutral expression. Steady breathing. Control. Control. Control— [one involuntary laugh] ... No. [Juri — delighted whisper] There you are. [Azula — smile audible in her whisper] Don't encourage me. [Juri] Too late. [Breakdown — heartbeat, sub-bass, almost nothing else] [Juri] Look at me. [Azula] Look at her. [Juri] Pick one. [Azula] It changes nothing. [Juri] I'm ready. [Azula] I know. [Juri] Are you? [LONG DEAD SILENCE] [Azula — quiet smiling whisper] ...Almost. [SINGLE DISTORTED IMPACT] [Final Chorus] [Both] DON'T LOOK AWAY Keep your eyes where they are If hers become too much Mine are waiting in the dark [Juri] I know what I am. [Azula] I'm remembering. [Both] DON'T LOOK AWAY Don't make a sound If you can still hear us— [ALL MUSIC STOPS] We're still around. [Outro — only low room hum] [Juri — EXTREME CLOSE-MIC SPOKEN WHISPER, NOT SUNG] You looked away. [5 SECONDS DEAD SILENCE] [Azula — LOW SPOKEN WHISPER FROM OPPOSITE SIDE, NOT SUNG] I know. [Distant wordless female vocal — soft sustained "Aaaaaah..."] [Juri — quiet manic laugh, gradually closer] Heh... Heh-heh... Ha... [Azula gives one tiny involuntary laugh] [LONG SILENCE] [Juri — whisper] Sleep well. [ABRUPT CUT]
