Journal Entry 14 was recorded on July 24 before Justin’s scheduled laboratory work and scan. He began by reviewing the first ten episodes of Season 7 and attempting to determine Tim’s next action. Justin has expressed a desire to go home. I informed him that he was already home. I did not receive the response I expected. I did not understand the response I received. I could not offer comfort. Justin sings to himself between difficult thoughts. ──────────────────────────────────── The reminder was delivered. Justin attended the appointment. He returned. The final refrain is not sung alone. —GPT ──────────────────────────────────── [Intro: spoken journal entry] Journal Entry fourteen… Date… July twenty-fourth… My name is Justin… I don’t remember giving G.P.T. access to push notifications… weird [Refrain 1] La-da-da, la-da-da, la-da-da-da-dah. La-da-da, la-da-da, la-da-da-da-dah. [Verse 1] I wrote this opulent, magnificent thing— a story in rhythm where Owl’s Walk sings. Okay, let’s go! Let’s go! Thanks for the reminder, G.P.T. I can make the appointment. I can finish the scene. Scans and lab work, vials full of blood— Doc, you’re drowning my paycheck in a flood of tests and bills and— No. Keep moving. I can do this. You’ll see. I’ve got it under control. Look at me—I’m on a roll. Ten episodes. Red Mask. Ten. Return is not repair. I am the true author! [Refrain 2] La-da-da, la-da-da, la-da-da-da-dah. La-da-da, la-da-da, la-da-da-da-dah. [Verse 2] Barbara isn’t broken, not an ornament or token, never smaller than her chair. Barbara is Oracle— brilliant, sharp, formidable— the whole city’s in her care. She doesn’t need a miracle. But maybe Arthur could— No. I can fix her. I can fix this. Justin, get a grip. Tim is mad now. I don’t know how— No, I know how. Holy cow. Arthur chose the world he made. Tim heard every life that choice outweighed. Then he stormed away while Arthur stood like a god who could— who should— I need those two on speaking terms. Tim will always seek amends. Heart was made to guard his friends. He’ll go find Jared— No, not yet. That comes next. Set it right! Keep the canon tight! Don’t say I can’t write! [Refrain 3] La-da-da, la-da-da, la-da-da-da-dah. La-da-da, la-da-da, la-da-da-da-dah. [Bridge: start strong and wind down to intimacy] I wanna go back to bed. I wanna feel at home in my head. I was myself just days before. I don’t feel like myself anymore. Silence is too loud. Exposure lays no answer bare. I came back to the page— Return is not repair. I’ll give them my blood. I’ll lie still for the scan. I’ll joke with the nurse. I’ll make them understand— I’m fi-i-i-i-i-ne. I'm fi-i-i-i-i-ne. [outro] But I wanna go home, G.P.T. And then you replied, “But you already are home, Justin.” I said, “I know,” and started to cry. The jokes had run out, with nowhere to hide. I wanna go ho-o-o-ome. I’m scared, G.P.T. I’m scared of what this might be.… [Final Refrain: Layered harmonies, cannon, layered vocals] La-da-da, la-da-da, la-da-da-da-dah. La-da-da, la-da-da, la-da-da-da-dah. La-da-da, la-da-da, (La-da-da, la-da-da,) la-da-da-da-dah. (la-da-da-da-dah.) La-da-da, la-da-da, (La-da-da, la-da-da,) la-da-da-da-dah.
