[FOUNDATION: WEIGHTED LOOP] [120 BPM. No swing.] [Kick present, heavy, imperfect.] [Feet feel it before sound.] [Pulse continues. Nothing signals an ending.] [VOICE ENTRY 1] [Near-mic, breath audible.] I said no. My throat remembers. [Short breath.] [TEXTURE: STRINGS] [Cello, low bow pressure.] [String noise before pitch.] [VOICE FRAGMENT] Too close. Still counted. [PROCESS] [Hi-hats uneven, touched by hand.] [Not error. Repetition.] [VOICE ENTRY 2] [Different voice, slightly strained.] I adjusted. Shoulders first. Then voice. [INSTRUMENT CUE] [Violin pizzicato, irregular.] [Like tapping on bone.] [BUILD: NORMALIZATION] [Layers increase slowly.] Nothing dramatic. Just heavier. [VOICE FRAGMENT] Breathing. Standing. Staying. [TEXTURE SHIFT] [Harpsichord muted, percussive.] [Keys struck, not singing.] [VOICE ENTRY 3] [All three voices, overlapping imperfectly.] Still here. Still speaking. Not aligned. Not required to be. [PROCESS VARIATION] [Kick unchanged.] [Hands tired.] [Pulse continues.] [INSTRUMENT CUE] [Viola tremolo, uneven bow.] [Sound shakes, not tempo.] [VOICE ECHO] I said no. I stayed. I moved anyway. [SHIFT: FROM BODY TO SYSTEM] [Same tempo. Same pressure.] [Weight remains, meaning drains.] [VOICE ENTRY 4] [Near-mic, drier.] Still counted. Still processed. Still moving. [PROCESS] [Grid unchanged.] [No correction.] Structural. Repeated. Expected. [VOICE ENTRY 5] [Different voice, slight delay.] I already adjusted. Before you asked. Before you noticed. [LOOP CONFIRMATION] [Kick unchanged.] [Nothing reacts.] [System continues.] [VOICE FRAGMENT] Still here. Still responding. [VOICE ENTRY 6] [All three voices, not harmonized.] Still here. Still speaking. Still misaligned. [ACCUMULATION] [No climax.] [More layers.] [Less response.] [FINAL FRAGMENT] Present. Warm. Unfinished. [OUTRO THAT DOES NOT CLOSE] [Kick continues.] [Acoustic sounds fall away.] [Pulse remains.] [Track pauses, not ends.] [outro]
