My mind drifts away with the sweet melody and the heavy rhythm.
My body no longer feels like my own.
The pain has almost faded.
Caramel, aspartame, caffeine
I surrender myself to the swirling rush.

Where is the Battlefield?

A beast without reason makes killing today’s prey part of its routine
with a neatly polished pink knife.
It sometimes fails, but always finishes the job.
The sweet nectar from wounds brings a flicker of pleasure,
and the devil’s tail trembles.
This is a place wrapped in pitch black skies with no stars,
and a sunset that feels all wrong.
Low bass echoes heavily,
blending with sweet leads that melt the heart.

Thank you for picking up this book.
In this collection, I’ve recorded what I’ve felt—through images and words.
As the world slowly changes, I continue to have quiet conversations with the core of who I am,
and through that, I think I was able to express a world I truly love.
To everyone who looks at my illustrations—thank you deeply.
I hope to keep creating in a way that feels true to myself.
