not much changes, even if there is an after. (spoilers for the finale because this is a post-canon work where the premise itself is a spoiler)

Title: Archival Entry #476

[The following is a digitised annotated script of what appears to be a guided sleep meditation podcast. However, no supporting records of the podcast have been found to date. The archival staff theorise that the original document is an unpublished manuscript rather than a transcript as the implied existence of eleven prior episodes remain unsubstantiated save for rumours of a defunct website. The anonymously submitted script was typed and printed, with handwritten annotations in the margins. When digitising this script, the lengthy annotations were converted into footnotes.]

can be read in a few ways

[edited and reposted]

This poem comes in three columns and three rows. The middle row is not divided into columns, and serves to divide the columned parts. The poem can be read both by columns and rows. I couldn’t figure out how to transcribe this so I have done two possible readings of this poem, first by column (excluding the divider row “before the silence catches…”), then by row.

Write a rhyming poem about what bothered you the most today.

Traveling across time to me,
a message lost unwittingly.
Ten days it says upon my screen,
yet I would rather destroy my spleen.

31st May
Tis the day she wrote to say
something important, something awaited
Yet only this app made it so unexpected.

Today is 10 June it says on my screen,
ten’s how long her message had went unseen.
I sigh,
I can’t deny.
A double quotation:
Tis the icon of my notification.

Suddenly, apparently, unabashedly,
The late alert flew fast to me
“Hangouts” I spit, with venom in tongue,
How I wished it a neck so I could have it wrung.
