Actual coding: approximately zero. But the way they word the questions — I'm eleven again in a physics-math classroom that smelled like chalk and serious ambition. [Chorus] Seventh grade, second school — the problem statement hits like a protocol. I'm back online, more or less intact. Nostalgia is also an antidepressant. [Verse 2] The task holds me the way a needle holds thread. Reality is paused, not cancelled. Pain is outside the door, it hasn't knocked yet, I'm in here counting edges on a graph. Somebody wrote this problem carefully. They were probably also struggling. We never meet, but we share the same exact moment of almost understanding. [Chorus] Seventh grade, second school — the problem statement hits like a protocol. I'm back online, more or less intact. Nostalgia is also an antidepressant. [Bridge] Not by pills alone. Also by memory. There is a problem. There is a screen. That's enough for now. [Outro] Switch me off the right way — give me a puzzle with no obvious door. I'll be fine. I'll be here. Seventh grade. Second school. One more.
