¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨^ i have friends - there's a cat, and a ^¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨^~ dog (who is ridicolously large and ~^¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨^~\ wants to be the big spoon). i listen to \~^¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨^~\* the shortwave radio, and transmit a bit *\~^¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨^~\*§ myself, songs and poetry, and found §*\~^¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨^~\*§£ sounds from the forest. the others tell £§*\~^¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨^~\*§£@ of their lives, play the guitar for me, @£§*\~^¨¨¨

¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨^~ will not be affected by the nightly ~^¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨^ reset. everything else, however, is ^¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ completely reset overnight: synth ¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨^ patches removed, food uneaten, wounds ^¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨^~ healed, and wherever and whenever i'd ~^¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨^~\ fall asleep i'd always wake up fully \~^¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨¨¨^~\* rested in my bed. sometimes there's *\~^¨¨¨¨¨¨
