Level 31. Chaos crew is stuck — gate won’t open. Spida says he knows the guardian: Catipala’s sister. They call her. She falls for Cygnus immediately. He dances. Gate opens. She follows.
[Verse 1]
Level thirty-one
And there they are
Chaos — one point three billion
Disorder — nine hundred thousand
Their crew — Mayhem, Ruin, Havoc
Standing in front of a gate
That will not open
Chaos seemed pleased to see Solara
He noted her bounty had gone up
He seemed even more pleased about that
[Pre-Chorus]
Then Persy asked Mayhem about their bounties
Ruin and Havoc — five hundred thousand each
Tied
All three of them tied
“Five hundred thousand?” Persy said
“Each,” said Mayhem
Rion looked at Persy
Persy looked at his own hands
[Chorus]
Chaotic reunion
All of us stuck
Chaotic reunion
Gate will not move
Chaos tried everything
Disorder organized three attempts
The gate remained unimpressed
[Verse 2]
Then Spida cleared his throat
“I know this guardian”
“How,” said Solara
“She is Catipala’s sister”
Everyone looked at Catipala
Catipala looked surprised
“I have a sister?”
(she did)
(the guardian)
(same mother, different fold)
[Pre-Chorus 2]
They called her
She arrived in approximately ten seconds
She looked at the assembled crews
She looked at Chaos — nothing
She looked at Disorder — nothing
She looked at Solara — professional interest
Then she saw Cygnus
[Chorus]
Chaotic reunion
This is unexpected
Chaotic reunion
Cygnus, specifically
She did not speak
She stared
Cygnus looked at the group
The group looked at Cygnus
Cygnus understood
[Bridge]
He danced
The way Cygnus dances
Which is the way swans were always meant to move
And nobody moves like that
Nobody has ever moved like that
The gate opened
(immediately)
(all the way)
(without prompting)
[Final Chorus]
Chaotic reunion
Gate is open
Chaotic reunion
Cygnus did it
Both crews through the gate
Cala looked back once
And kept looking
[Outro]
Level thirty-two ahead
Cala — no longer just behind the gate
Cala — walking with the group
At a distance
A very close distance
Specifically behind Cygnus
Chaos: “Is she coming with us?”
Solara: “Apparently”
Cygnus: [dancing slightly, did not address the question]
