Crashing into many emotions and beliefs, I gained wounds and fatigue. My anxiety gave me insomnia, and I was afraid that my happiness would be in danger. So I couldn't meet other people easily and stayed hidden. The emptiness that I felt during this time grew the most vast while I worked on this album. While I was crouching in t...
