CONCEPT
Spida saves the day — he and Catipala pull SOLARA through the northwest gate (the same light). They emerge at Level 29, Fold 1 — back where they started. Happy reunion. Names shared. Chaos and Disorder just being Chaos and Disorder. Mayhem, Havoc and Ruin enthusiastically break important things. But SOLARA does not remember any of it. She does not know who she is.
LYRICS
[Verse 1]
Spida had been watching the light since Catipala drew the arrow
He did not say this out loud
He was a gatekeeper
He knew gates
This was a gate
He said: grab her
He said: now
Catipala grabbed her other side
They pulled
Through the northwest light
Through the thing that had no name
Through the anti-convergence running backwards
And then Level Twenty-Nine
And then everyone
[Pre-Chorus]
She fell into the middle of everyone
The crew from Fold Two
The crew from negative forty-five
All of them
Together
At Level Twenty-Nine
Disorder was there
She looked at SOLARA
She said: she’s back
Chaos said: finally
He said: do you know how long that took
[Chorus]
Juxtaposition
She is back in the place she left from
Juxtaposition
Everyone she knows is standing here
The crew from the levels
The crew from the negative
The captain in the middle
All of them
At the same level
At the same time
This is the reunion
This is the reunion
[Verse 2]
Names were shared
Chaos introduced himself
At length
With the bounty number
Disorder said: I am Disorder
She said: he is with me
Chaos said: she is with me
Mayhem said: I am Mayhem
He already broke something
He said it was an accident
Havoc said: Havoc
He nodded
Ruin said: Ruin
He also nodded
They were excellent at existing
Persy said: I am Persy
He said: I am excellent
He said it to SOLARA specifically
He said: we have been through things together
She looked at him
She said: okay
[Pre-Chorus 2]
She said: what is this place
Castor said: Level Twenty-Nine
She said: and why are we here
He said: because it is where we came from
She said: where did we come from
He said: here
She looked around
She said: hm
[Bridge]
Disorder noticed first
She watched SOLARA’s face
The way she looked at the crew
Like she was looking at strangers
Not frightened strangers
Not unfriendly strangers
Just people she had never met
Disorder said: does she know where she is
Aldric said: she knows Level Twenty-Nine
Aldric said: she does not know us
The room went a different kind of quiet
Chaos said: she doesn’t know me
He said: I have a one billion star coin bounty
He said: everyone knows me
SOLARA said: that is a lot of star coins
She said it politely
The way you say something
When you are being polite
To someone you have never met
[Final Chorus]
Juxtaposition
She is standing with everyone she loves
And she does not know them
The reunion happened
And she was not there for it
All of them at the same level
All of them at the same time
And she is somewhere else entirely
Looking out from the inside
The captain is back
But the captain is not back
This is the reunion
This is the reunion
Hold on
[Outro]
Mayhem broke something important
In the library
It made a very loud sound
Nobody said anything about it
They were looking at SOLARA
She looked at Mayhem
She said: I hope that was not important
He said: probably not
She said: okay
She seemed to find this reasonable
Disorder looked at Chaos
He said nothing for once
