Nicht Du (Not You)

Content Notes
Antarai
The little creature in the cocoon knows almost nothing about the world yet, but already dreams of it. The first melody escapes from it in the dream, even before rain and light wake it up. The lightness of the still untouched voice invites to focus on the positive in one’s own memory, to pause thereby.
