Final Interlude: Re-Shuffle

[Runtime: 1:30 - 2:00 minutes.] ~ [Sound: cards shuffling, reversed whispers, warped music-box fragments from earlier songs, distant carnival organ, vinyl crackle.] ~ [Mood: the listener is between readings and the deck is rearranging itself without permission.] ~ [Narrative purpose: closes the first half of the album and hints that the remaining cards will become darker, more personal, and less trustworthy.]
