The Background Story
We write the stories you will never tell.
Vol. 4 Ch. 5 P. 4
You are here. You are who you think you are.
Tomorrow, when you wake up,
you’ll still remember where you’ve been and where you’re going.
Tomorrow, when you wake up,
you’ll still remember where you’ve been and where you’re going.
As long as this is true, you have everything you need.

where colorful scraps,
small and insignificant alone,
become a vast expanse of comforting warmth.
Layers upon layers of treasured memories —
spanning minutes, hours, days,
months, years, even decades —
blend into each other to form a consciousness
that is defined by you,
and only you.
