Stage 1 – Blissful Dreamscape
Begins with hope, and joy, no memory loss or signs are detectable. However the disease has already progressed. Though nothing to our patient can be realized, some impairment appears, but feels relatively calm.

The Affinity, is a moniker created by The Maintainer to keep his inspiration alive. This album is like Forevermore And Nevermore, tracks will have similar, if not the same samples to FaN, just redone in The Maintainers liking. Post awareness will be long past the 24 hour mark and beyond.

  3. SIDE A – We're in a comfortable world, so much here is so right, nothing moving the wrong way… no waves of anxiety, no fear… Just a smile on happy faces around them, a joyous world has taken over such a precious life, nothing could go wrong. Though it may seem like a daydream, the world around us turns hazy and fuzzy, the shadows engulf places, corners, but atleast they were where they belong. Though, one can't help but start feeling tailored to the same world that has kept them in a state of unaware bliss.. what was there to be, aware about… just a land so simple, a few moments of unease, where it felt like they were standing alone all of a sudden, talking to… whom? though, it was just one big misunderstanding… everything was crystal clear after that… but, they had a really unsure moment, they thought it happened, where they stood alone in the darkness, unable to call out for help, but… unfortunately they couldn't tell if this was real and frightening, or… just a nightmare. A world of such bliss could not be broken with an ounce of fear, the darkness has only ever been shined over, by the big, bright… f..flickering…. sunshine? Ease your mind, it's all just a nightmare.

    SIDE B – A moment in life, they have put aside those fears, it's been a while since those things took over their mind. The most relaxed they've ever been in fact, nothing could spoil even a moment of sitting down and watching the trickling rain, so melancholy yet caressing by the hands love, support and security. It could bring a tear to their eyes, after looking back at every feeling… warms their heart. It was time… A time to realize, oh no… what's going on? they must not be getting enough sleep, or spending time with their family, how could they forget? they have feelings too! they forgot a loved one's birthday today, after knowing it for the past few DECADES, they feel awful… Useless, rendered absolutely helpless, how could it have happened? they knew for so long… but with reassurance, they always knew it was just a fuzzy headache. So… They celebrated something for their birthday, though a little late, it was going smoothly… yet they were stuck in their head for quite a while, blurred beyond any control, yet this doesn't feel too unusual. As the days went on, they began to feel like… they're forgetting the tiny things; one could only wish to stop doing that sooner or later, begging to stay. The hazy dreams they felt like they were in, it must be natural aging… forgetting a birthday can't be that bad, forgetting a few things is completely normal, thought it wasn't forgetting… it was mostly feeling out of place, they stopped forgetting for a while… but they still felt, a little sick. For a few more days, to a week they have begun reminiscing, feeling a sense of yearning for return to the good ol' younger years. It felt like an instinct, like their body was trying to say something, but nothing could reach… nostalgia can be blind after all. After weeks and weeks, they started feeling a rollercoaster of emotions, nothing felt the same, believing it's just the sign of aging, it could always be… they're constantly feeling outdated, and stuck on how things functioned for a while, yet it was still easy as pie to understand! it was just… off, you know? At some point, after more and more consideration, they're wondering if… they could be depressed, anxious or even just very uneasy, causing more and more attention away from the actual… situation. Every moment felt, so isolating but at the same time, completely fine. So, they did the best they could do, to put it off, as it lingers, stretching out from just those minutes to suddenly the journey towards hours. But they wanted to know, they wanted an answer as to what was happening.

    B16 – A day later, the only context given, is that they found themselves getting lost somewhere completely different from where they should be. The next thing you know their family starts noticing a major problem, shocking them to their core with an unwanted conclusion… N-no… it can't be, you can get lost after some bad rotten thoughts, right?? And once they start seeing the worry grow around the family, this dreadful subconscious kiss on their forehead, told them to wait, but… soon it must be known, they've wanted to know for so much, but the rest of their life, thought to turn out so bleak, so cold and empty,
    "the world wouldn't do this to me right? It's gonna be ok, it's not going to be true."
