RECORD 1
In the sky, there is a realm between worlds. Between my dying breath and my renewal, I look towards the bright sun, in hopes it will guide me back home. But I know that my journey is not over. In fact, I will be reborn into another world once more, drifting further and further away from home.
RECORD 2
There are many beautiful things in this world. The clear blue sky, the dazzling of the stars, the vastness of the seascape… and you. I don't want to let go of what makes this world beautiful. I don't want the light to die out.
RECORD 3
I don't want to be alone. My heart lingers in a distant memory, ebbing back and forth between the past and present. If you could be by my side, and quell the instability in my heart, I will hold on to you.
RECORD 4
It's a bit embarrassing, it's a bit frustrating. It's the picture of desire as I melt into your arms. This is the end, but it's just the beginning. I'll sustain myself off of your soul for the rest of my life, until my final breath.
RECORD 5
In heaven, there is no solace. There is only an echo of love that remains. It was cut up into pieces, bloodstained by this cruel world. Even still, into the next life, I have to take up my sword. I devote my everything to you.
RECORD 6
Everything is collapsing. It's a repeat of "that day." It's a repetition of destruction I've seen in countless worldlines, starting from the very first world. If there's even a chance those worlds can still survive, I'll fight and cut the threads of fate myself.
RECORD 7
My ideals, my emotions, my everything. I want to stay true to myself, but my heart will be broken no matter what I do. Even still, I travel endlessly throughout these worlds to search for the truth of what happened "that day," and why we exist in these worlds together.
RECORD 8
When one life ends, another one begins. I'll lose you once more as I am reborn into another life. But no matter what, my memory will persevere. I will take hold of these memories, scattered throughout the worlds, and cherish them forever. I will not let memory fade.
RECORD 9
I am alone. In this world, my heart searches endlessly for something, only to feel empty. You are not here. I can only hope you lie within distant starlight, as I gaze towards the starry night sky. You are a memory glowing against a backdrop of endless darkness and despair.
RECORD 10
For all our sins, and for all our happiness – do we seek redemption? Everything hurts under the weight of these lives tenfold, and more. The blades against each others' skin, the heartbreaks, the deaths – I wonder what it all meant to you. Amidst a bittersweet longing, I can only wait to see you again.
