¨¨¨,~†=£@# before it  fades  to  night  again,  and #@£=†~,¨¨¨
¨¨,~†=£@## then  it stays so  until i fall  asleep. ##@£=†~,¨¨

¨,~†=£@### dog  (who  is  ridicolously   large  and ###@£=†~,¨

¨¨¨,~†=£@# 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, ##@£=†~,¨¨
¨¨¨,~†=£@# and  tell  tales  of the  old  world.  i #@£=†~,¨¨¨
¨¨,~†=£@##      consider them friends as well.      ##@£=†~,¨¨

¨¨¨,~†=£@# 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 ###@£=†~,¨
¨¨,~†=£@## accidents   where  i   lose   stuff   by ##@£=†~,¨¨

¨¨,~†=£@## where the spirits of  the forest  around ##@£=†~,¨¨
¨,~†=£@### the  cottage tries to communicate. here, ###@£=†~,¨
¨¨,~†=£@## it's not  endless  but  connected  to  a ##@£=†~,¨¨
¨¨¨,~†=£@# large  sprawling  city,  where  my radio #@£=†~,¨¨¨
¨¨,~†=£@## friends live. we go  exploring  together ##@£=†~,¨¨
¨,~†=£@### - things  are deep and dark - but unlike ###@£=†~,¨
¨¨,~†=£@## me, they never remember during the  day. ##@£=†~,¨¨
