Cycle II — The Record is where the pressure gets heavier and more personal.
This is the testimony from the second phase of The Cycles, where the voice stops arriving and starts being lived with.
These pieces deepen the cost: desire under brighter light, standards under pressure, intimacy with more weight, and the consequences of wanting what you want made harder to ignore.
Each piece stands on its own, even as the deeper pattern builds across The Cycles, so you can start anywhere and stop anytime.
