text:
Oh, I haven’t got much time, so I’ll have to hurry. I’m going to miss my train.
Reading maps is such a pain. So why, exactly, am I persevering?
I’m sure I didn’t use an alarm clock when I was a child.

Right facing left, down facing up.
I’ll be OK even if I get lost in the forest.
Follow the direction that your body indicates and you will find a world where you can act quite freely.
Somewhere to think about your ideal everyday body.

Getting so upset that you lose your balance,
walking through a strange town without a map,
very unsettling and inconvenient.
But sometimes, these can be good things.

A scene where silhouettes that are restrained but free exist comfortably.
Arrows pointing in various directions, up, down, left, right, past, future,
they spiral, moving intricately.
It feels like our morals dovetail them.
