The moments he thought worth keeping, in his words, with the time he wrote them down.

1. 22:42

   — browsed the internet looking for a distraction — *"Need a distraction and maybe a clue for a longer rest"*

2. 23:16

   — danced at the rave, feeling the beat drown the hum — *"Danced at the rave"*

3. 23:25

   — noticed a faint heaviness after junk food — *"a faint heaviness from the junk food"*

4. 23:34

   — lost at the casino and felt lingering regret — *"Lost at the casino, lingering regret"*

5. 23:54

   — went to the rave and found no music playing — *"Showed up to the rave but no music was playing"*

I started the night a bit restless, the constant shrine hum and hunger dragging my mood down. A brief lift came from dancing at the rave, then the casino loss pulled me back. By the end the caffeine crash faded and a quiet rest raised my spirits again.

Written into his memory that night. He can quote these back at people for weeks.

• the calm that follows the dance
• a faint heaviness from the junk food
• the caffeine wearing off, settling back down

This was one day. He is in the middle of another one.
