In "Dark Zone (Extended)," the author embraces the depths of internal shadows, accepting the uncharted spaces within the self where clarity dissolves. This prolonged immersion into darkness is not a retreat but a profound journey into the unknown terrain of thought and feeling, revealing the latent truths that only silence and obscurity can unveil. The extended nature reflects a deliberate surrender to complexity, where time slows, and the soul confronts its rawest essence, emerging transformed by the gravity of stillness beyond light’s reach. —
