1.Should I just keep pretending to be dead like this?
2.Not moving even a millimeter
3.Alone, I have no choice but to play dead—
4.I won’t even breathe anymore5.
6.That one? This one? No, that one over there?
7.I’m always just following orders
8.Where did my will
9.Disappear to?10.
11.Unable to speak, unable to resist
12.Just obeying—this weak version of myself13.
14.Made to pretend I’m dead by someone else
15.What am I even living for?
16.At some point, I started playing dead
17.Just so no one would notice me18.
19.Even when poked, I keep pretending—
20.Like a worn-out rag
21.Clinging to this act of playing dead
22.Is just a defense instinct23.
24.No! I can’t! I refuse! I hate it! Sorry!
25.I can’t compromise on anything
26.Toward everyone
27.I end up putting up invisible barriers28.
29.Up until just now, I was in despair—
30.This world seemed nothing but darkness31.
32.Come back to life, just once more—myself
33.I was only hiding my passion
34.Right now, open your eyes and live again—
35.Let your soul be reborn!36.
37.Anything’s fine—just come back to life, be revived!
38.There are still dreams I haven’t fulfilled
39.Live again, as many times as it takes—
40.That’s what life is, endlessly continuing41.
42.Conviction itself
43.Is the energy that sets life ablaze44.
45.Made to pretend I’m dead by someone else
46.What am I even living for?
47.At some point, I started playing dead
48.Just so no one would notice me49.
50.Even when poked, I keep pretending—
51.Like a worn-out rag
52.Clinging to this act of playing dead
53.Is just a defense instinct
