I don’t remember when I first saw you. For me, you were always there: wrapped in a hoodie, dark circles under your eyes, fingers flying over the keyboard.Your small room is dark, curtains drawn. Only the blue glow on your face is a beacon in the night. You stare at the screen, re-reading the caption for the tenth time, checking if it reads well, if there are any typos. I know there aren’t. You study the image again. You spent so much time tweaking the model, making sure the results weren’t too weird, but also not too perfect. I know it looks...

The dark skeletons of skyscrapers stretched into the twilight sky. I trudged along an empty street, my feet dragging through the damp sand, leaving deep grooves behind me. How long had I been here?

I’m so excited to bring you along on this summer journey with me! This cabin is exactly what I need—a quiet little place to write some new songs and finally finish the ones I started during our tour. And you guys, just look at this place! There’s a forest, there’s a lake, and there’s literally nobody else for miles! Well, maybe more like a few hundred m...

The lab smelled of antiseptic and something sweet, something vaguely familiar, though he could never quite place it. At this late hour, the Reconditioning Center was quiet, all procedures for the day done. Only a few technicians remained in the building, still tending to their routine tasks. Anton was alone in the room, and that was when he was most efficient. No distractions—just spotless steel, order, and precision. Rows of vials sat neatly in a tube holder on the table, each labeled with a barcode and extraction date. No names. No histori...
