Voice One: Do you remember how it was? The garden was alive, and we were just... there, painting the fence yellow on a Tuesday.

Voice Two: Yes, the paint smelled funny, like something out of a dream. But we never questioned why we were painting. Just painting.

Voice One: And why wouldn't we? The world balanced itself around these small rituals. The laughter of children, an echo in harmony with the cicadas.

Voice Two: But harmony breaks, doesn't it? Chaos sneaks in when you least expect it. Like the storm that day.

Voice One: Yes... the one that washed away the paint, the one that soaked through to our bones. We ran, not knowing where we were going, just away.

Voice Two: All that running, and we ended up here. In the echoes of our past, trying to find some sense of what went wrong.

Voice One: I wonder if we've ever stopped running. Maybe we're just ghosts in this corridor of echoes.

Voice Two: Ghosts with paint-stained hands, longing for a garden that no longer exists. Perhaps it's time to accept that chaos is as much a part of the interlude as harmony.

Voice One: An interlude... a pause in the music of our lives. But what if the pause never ends? What if all we have is this dissonance?
