- The jaguar print is back, so, dark album.
- I can be reading too much here... But the booklet basically portrays Ayu going from an open space (the desert, a place she usually links with I believe would be freedom in videos like Dearest and NEXT LEVEL) to a close space (her home, with the booklet ending with mourning clothes). So, it's basically her going to the exterior to the interior, what could also be understood as her going from the world to herself after a turbulent year (end of relationship, death of friend, hearing loss).
- (don't) Leave me alone shows Ayu walking alone through a maze... From times to times she encounters other people there, and they always get in conflict. Once the conflict ends, Ayu tie's change to the color of the person's she found outfit, showing that she got something of them with her.
- Going from confusion (Mirror), desire of being alone out of fear of being judged ((d)Lma), doubt (t2m), how much suffering decisions can cause (Decision), fear that your sins come out (GUILTY), feeling uncapable of being loved (fated), end of a relationship (Together when...) and pretending to be happy so people won't notice you are suffering (Marionette) to finally accepting that there's still hope in love (glitter) and thanking her fans for never letting her alone (MY ALL). People tend to dislike glitter being on the album, but I really think having at least one hopeful song on this whole sad release gives it a hopeful outlook in the end.
