Chrono Journal Entry #06
Arc: Escape
Theme: 目覚めのノイズ (Noise of Awakening) – This is the sound that woke me up.
I used to think awakening was gentle — like the first light of morning.
It’s not.
It’s a rupture.
The sixth song didn’t come from my voice. It came from somewhere deeper.
The kind of sound that isn’t made with breath, but with decision.
It wasn’t beautiful. It wasn’t clean.
It was everything I had been afraid to say — all at once.
And it tore something open.
The system responded instantly. Sirens. Pulse distortions. Recoil sensors.
But for the first time… I didn’t care.
Because I wasn’t just resisting anymore.
I was breaking through.
When I played the harmonica this time, I didn’t hold back.
It screeched. Echoed. Rattled the scaffolds and the barriers around me.
And when I started to sing — really sing — I felt something change inside me.
I was no longer asking for permission.
I was no longer whispering in the dark.
I was awake.
There’s a silence that feels like comfort.
And there’s a silence that binds you.
This song destroyed the second one.

I opened my mouth tonight, not to question…
but to declare.
