^ Thanks, I meant to post it before but forgot haha Also didn't post the other 2 sets of concept photos

I love the tracklist! So happy to see Euphoria ;-; And I woder if DNA remix is that rock version they performed at one of the awards shows. Curious about what Trivias are as well.

But what I like the most is that, just like I wanted, the tracklist is telling a story. The tracks are divided in order: Wonder, Her, Tear and Answer, based on 起承轉結 (introduction, development, turning point, conlusion), which represents a storytelling structure.

Wonder: you fall in love, you think it's fate, an "ideal" love
Her: you're in love, which is too idealistic, too good to be true, but in reality it's uhealthy, codependent and overly attached
Tear: it turns out that the love was fake (no pun intended, or was it? hehe), because you were wearing a mask, changing yourself in order to make the other person love you, but it wasn't sustainable
Answer: you have an epiphany (oops) and realise that you have to focus on loving yourself first and foremost

Also it's quite interesting that all songs on CD1 fit the storyline, they didn't include the songs with the lyrics that don't fit the theme, they're all on CD2
