I joined a game but in a dream I didn’t recognized it was a game. if you fail, you will die. participants, doctors and nurses are gathered in a hospital room. suddenly, transparent balls are scattered from above. I understand if I step on a ball, I will get seriously injured. doctors’ and nurses’ brains are controlled by enemy. they hurt themselves. a nurse next to me hollow out her own eyes. I feel very dangerous because if we get sick or injured, no one can treat us. I joined a game but in a dream I didn’t recognized it was a game. playing in my site makes you strong playing with my site makes you curious very carefully I go out from the room. I find there are various types of rooms. there seems to be an enemy in each room. every time we achieve the goal, the next instruction comes. such as “27th, 14 o’clock” etc. which is written in a little paper. no matter what choice you make, the instruction will always appear. this is so strange. I wonder our choices and behaviors are controlled by someone else. I joined a game but in a dream I didn’t recognized it was a game. we head to a place where I can save the process. I can save it if I think about it. all I can do is go back to my room and rest. playing in my site makes you strong playing with my site makes you curious

雲は流れてゆく ひとり走り抜けて 暗がりの街並み 景色さえも見えない それは 夢のような 僕たちの足音 言葉 ひとつ きかせて

今日も私の羽 花を見つけては 向こう岸にあって 辿り着けずに 今日も私の手は 種を見つけては 丘の上にあって 辿り着けずに こんな季節を待ち続けていたの? 街は変わらず 押し流されてゆく もしも私が 流されてゆくなら かすむ景色を 焼き付けておこう
