Ray hits a curve
The car slides, wheels not clinging to the road, brakes not working
Acid rain whips across his face, cold and burning like a premonition
Life hangs in the balance
The highway is empty
A solid empty space stretching all the way to the horizon
The silence becomes deafening
The loneliness. He screams, but it turns to laughter
At the realization that there's no one else around
A freedom that is impossible to describe
The music drowns out everything and even consciousness
Hands casually let go of the steering wheel
The jacket flies backwards
He feels lighter than ever. Just one moment
And then there's another teeth-grinding turn
The steering wheel spins the other way
The track disappears. The kart flies into the void
The flight is a moment
But the sensation of the abyss lasts like an eternity
All around is silence and darkness
The landing is unnaturally soft, yet heavy
The sticky surface is springy
But he barely keeps his balance on his feet
Down below, a settlement can be seen in the darkness
It's empty, and the Nims seem stuck in time. Faces like masks
In the center stands a boy who stares
Unafraid and gradually pulls a smile
Apparently because of everything around him, as if in a time loop
Through the glass with the edge of his eye, Ray notices the treasure
He hits the glass, but it doesn't crack
The pain echoes in his hands, and in that moment his reality breaks
There is no way to reach what seems so close
But away from the light is a candy store
Where Milk sits sipping a milkshake
Like a wax figure - not moving
He does, however, hold out a glass with the words
"This is the drink."
Ray drinks it. Too sweet, just to death
Before he can think, he collapses - a cough, a heaviness
A sharp sound like an explosion
And then he wakes up

The Cultural Revolution in Topeka marked the dawn of a new era.
It freed nims from the chains of systems,
making art life's sole focus.
Freedom became the ultimate value,
with victory celebrated each year.
This year, however,
marks the first celebration—a mix of chaos and hope.
The festival begins at sunrise near monuments of the revolution.
Eucalyptus, plumeria, lotus,
and fangs symbolize resilience and struggle.
Glowing green, blue, pink,
and red lights adorn the scene with wonder.
The air is alive with music and luminous plants,
creating a dreamlike aura.
Music plays a central role,
blending live and electronic instruments.
Its atmospheric yet rhythmic tones unite nims in a shared harmony.
Each note bridges the past and future,
inspiring joy and reflection.
For many, the festival feels both new and unpolished.
Communities improvise,
adapting to their newfound creative freedom.
Ray, a newcomer to the "Junkyard" commune,
joins its bustling spirit.
This year, they present the "Hazer 245h" a device of neon artistry.
The Hazer paints luminous shapes in the air,
aweing curious onlookers.
It's both a tribute to their ingenuity and
step into the creative unknown.
Elsewhere, artists and dreamers showcase sculptures,
music, and dances.
Unpolished ideas and raw energy shape
this experimental celebration.
But for Ray, the festival is a bittersweet experience.
The loss of his father, a casualty of the revolution,
weighs heavily on him.
His father's death is a mystery,
and the new world feels hollow without him.
Ray struggles to reconcile the joy around
him with the grief inside.
The government, born from the revolution, oversees the event.
It promotes the idea that art is the only "job" worth having,
and celebrates how Topeka has been freed
from oppressive systems.
Amid the celebration, he perceives a strange quiet
—something missing in the noise.
By evening,
the city comes alive with bonfires and shared storytelling.
Nims dance under skies lit with pink and red glowing flora.
Children explore crafts,
while adults lose themselves in fiery displays.
The vibrant hues reflect
the burning spirit of Topeka's cultural rebirth.
The night peaks with the "Thousand Shadows"
light and laser show.
The sky becomes a canvas for visions of freedom and utopia.
Each luminous stroke reflects
the revolution's triumph and hope.
Though imperfect,
the festival mirrors Topeka's collective journey.
A society unbound by chains, daring to create its own destiny.
In the glow of lights and neon haze,
the spirit of freedom shines.

Troubles

Away from everyone lived Hydra. She had no 
friends, and while self-mutilating, she acquired 
voices in her head - she was having so much fun. Until suddenly she met Ray. He treated her as if she were his friend. But soon he left, and with him went the voices from her head. In an effort to get the voices back, she cursed the nyms and now devours anyone who dares to approach her.

Hydra ft. stepushe.

Ray decides there's no better time than now to impress the girl he likes. Late at night, he blindfolds her and then brutally saws her favorite cat before her eyes. Never before has she experienced such horror...... It's a good thing he stops her in time and says, “Everything but the cat was a joke!”. A great reason to think about why he will always be alone.
