Ohhh I love the covers!

I might be overthinking, but I have theories lol

taskinson aside (since that one's obvious), I'm sure VIBEES and either ray of truth or remember you are interludes. In that case, we have the following four sections in the album:

Quote:
01. Nonfiction
02. (NOT) Remember you
03. Dreamed a Dream
04. 23rd Monster
05. Summer Again

06. ray of truth
07. Remember you
08. オヒアの木
09. 春よ、来い

10. taskinson
11. MASK

12. VIBEES
13. Nonfiction (Yohanne Simon remix)
14. Just the way you are
If that's the case, I noticed another thing: each section seems to represent a season:

1. Summer (Summer Again)
2. Spring (Haru Yo Koi)
3. Winter (MASK was advertised as a winter song)
4. Autumn (by elimination)

Not only that, but the seasons are in the correct order, just... in reverse. She's turning back time to remember the past.

That being said, I can imagine (NOT) Remember you being an interlude too. But the title has similar vibes to (don't) Leave me alone or (miss)understood and I can see it being a Sunrise/Sunset kind of situation where the melodies are basically the same, but the arrangement and genres are different

Edit: I'll also add another thing I said on discord: i can see ray of truth sampling the "what you do believe" line in nonfiction
