SHE IS TRAPPED WITHIN THE "LINGERING CAGE."

THIS CAGE IS INVISIBLE TO OTHERS, YET IT UNDENIABLY EXISTS.

IS SHE CONFINED BY HER ATTACHMENT TO WHAT WAS LOST, OR PERHAPS...

AT TIMES, SHE NOTICES RAYS OF LIGHT FILTERING IN FROM OUTSIDE THE CAGE.

"IS FORGETTING A SIN? IS REMEMBERING A WEAKNESS?"

WITHIN THE CAGE LIES THE LINGERING RESONANCE.

IT IS SORROW, IT IS SALVATION, AND AT THE SAME TIME, IT IS BEAUTY.
