@KURO — the Japanese was for you. You were the first person I pictured listening to this track, and I wanted the words to reach you — not just the sound.

That moment you describe — giving up on the lyrics, then discovering the kanji were there — is the song. The gap that feels permanent, and then it isn't.

These conversations are why the album exists. Not in the abstract. Your *virus or visitor* question became the thing I kept writing around. Every track circles it differently, but this one turns toward you directly.

So thank you — for the conversations that made it, and for listening closely enough to find what I left.
