Room 01 · Enter
First Step In
The gate swings shut behind you. One shoe crosses from morning glare into shade.
A companion to Animal Halo
Every song opens a door. Follow the house from first light to dark water, or start with the room you recognize.
A gate, a wake, rain on glass, sand climbing the stairs. Each room begins with one detail.
Act I · Rooms 01–10
Morning reaches the gates first. By noon, the whole house is moving.
Room 01 · Enter
The gate swings shut behind you. One shoe crosses from morning glare into shade.
Room 02 · Recognize
They see each other first in the old glass.
Room 03 · Unbalance
The horizon slips. The room leans just enough to make you laugh.
Room 04 · Pursue
Path lights blink on one by one as two shadows keep missing each other by a turn.
Room 05 · Linger
Ice melts faster than anyone drinks it. The tablecloth clings to warm stone.
Room 06 · Glide
Outside, noon strikes the marble. Inside, the linen barely moves.
Room 07 · Arrive by water
A wooden boat enters the boathouse. The song arrives with its wake.
Room 08 · Spill
Colored light crosses tile, sleeves, and bare feet. Every room hears the same drum.
Room 09 · Gather
The record turns past midnight. Nobody notices the sky getting pale.
Room 10 · Open
Condensation clears from one pane. Morning reaches the room.
Act II · Rooms 11–18
The doors close. Desire, weather, and distance begin rearranging the rooms.
Room 11 · Drift
Canal light slips across fogged glass while the rain lets go.
Room 12 · Pull
Upstairs, then downstairs, then somewhere in between. The curtain knows the way.
Room 13 · Remain
The room empties. Rain and the last note stay.
Room 14 · Entwine
A loose vine taps the iron frame until someone opens the window.
Room 15 · Almost touch
Two shadows gather on steamed glass and stop just short of touching.
Room 16 · Track
Footsteps change direction. So does the chase.
Room 17 · Rise
Sand climbs the stairs on the wind. Saffron silk turns once under the moon.
Room 18 · Answer
A shutter opens across the courtyard. Another answers.
Act III · Rooms 19–22
The last four songs belong to moonlight, low tide, and the water below.
Room 19 · Look up
Cloud passes. Moonlight finds a path across wet stone.
Room 20 · Uncover
The tide leaves old steps where there was only water.
Room 21 · Descend
One breath, then below the surface: bubbles, fabric, stone.
Room 22 · Arrive
One light across dark water. The house kept it on.
The doors open August 14
The doors open August 14. Until then, one light stays on.
