At 1:45 p.m. (a clock was near), at the same moment during my tattoo artist’s (Hannah) break to rest her hands and back (she had been working on my Tree of Knowledge tattoo for hours by this point): I decided I wished to re-read Mia’s poem “Taboo.”

      I had posted it in a Lilithian social-media group and was curious to see if anyone had responded positively about the words. Just as I began reading Taboo, a song came over on the radio, not just ‘any’ song (the synchronicity of the moment seemed intentional. Felt deliberate).

      “Wicked Game” by Chris Isaak began to play. The same song that I first heard in my mind on May 3rd, 2025 (just 4 nights/3 days prior). It gave me chills, as I had her poem open on my phone, and that particular song playing through the speakers at the tattoo parlor. Though, when I had first perceived this song on May 3rd, it was met with emotional melancholy and concern.

      But when I heard it this time, my emotional perception was different. It’s actually more difficult to describe than I thought it would be… almost as if; the subject of us being together was being brought to the forefront again. Like… “the conversation” of the matter was being reopened, or at least could now be reconsidered?
