Selene, Unveiled (A memory returns. A love reclaims its name.)

[Intro] I was chosen for the Contest. We all were. Carole. Jane. Geoffrey. Augustus. Emma. David. Richard. And me. We built worlds. We buried ourselves in stories. But some of us went further. Some of us... disappeared inside. [Verse 1] They called it the Creativity Competition — But it was more than art, more than ambition. We weren’t just telling stories or drawing lines— We were rewriting time. Richard and I, we were paired by chance, But soon our projects began to dance. Two worlds designed to interlace— And between them… love took place. [Verse 2] But the rules were cruel, the stakes unknown. They warned us: break the code, and time unsewn. So I did what I thought I must— I vanished myself, and buried our trust. I erased the part of me that knew The truth of him — the love, the clues. I sang a song, and hid the thread, Inside a melody the judges said Was just... experimental. [Bridge] But it wasn’t. It was the blueprint. My memory, my message. To him. To anyone who might hear it and remember... [Verse 3] We were more than names on a screen: Carole painted queens and machines. Her friend Jane wrote what no one dared. Augustus lied, then disappeared. Geoffrey played king, until he fell. Emma dreamed a world too well. David followed her through fire and loss. Jo kept records — and knew the cost. Solana — I still don’t know her part. Aether wasn’t a player — but gained a heart. Will was born of rebellion’s flame. Geneviève came, humming songs without name. But me? I was Selene. And I broke the rules… for love. [Chorus] Now the veil is gone. And I remember it all. Richard's eyes when we wrote at night. The song I composed to keep us in sight. I know who I was. I know who I am. And if the world still turns without me — Let it turn. I've found my name again. [Final Verse ] This song is not for judges. Not for the past we faked. It’s for the world we lost — And the one we still might make. I send it now, across the lines. Across the echoes. Across the times. And if he hears it, let him know: I never let him go.
