DescriptionTranslation:[Upper right]
Narrator: That nothingness dogs you day in, day out...
[Upper left]
So then you think, fine, I'll just build something...
[Upper center right]
It's a natural reaction... Then your hands and feet go to work, even though you know it won't amount to anything...
[Lower center right]
That's how I imagine it, anyway...
[Lower right]
Like they say, when you have no one, even farting feels lonely...
[Lower left]
A shivery wind whooshes through the heart...
