¨¨¨¨¨,~†^£ dog  (who  is  ridicolously  large   and £^†~,¨¨¨¨¨

¨¨,~†^£¤## myself,  songs  and  poetry,  and  found ##¤£^†~,¨¨
¨,~†^£¤### sounds from  the forest. the others tell ###¤£^†~,¨
¨¨,~†^£¤## of their lives,  play the guitar for me, ##¤£^†~,¨¨
¨¨¨,~†^£¤# and  tell  tales  of  the  old world.  i #¤£^†~,¨¨¨

¨¨¨¨¨,~†^£     completely reset overnight: synth    £^†~,¨¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨¨,~†^£¤   patches removed, food uneaten, wounds  ¤£^†~,¨¨¨¨
¨¨¨,~†^£¤# healed, and  wherever  and whenever  i'd #¤£^†~,¨¨¨
¨¨,~†^£¤## fall  asleep  i'd  always wake up  fully ##¤£^†~,¨¨
