“Adulthood carries a subtle intoxication.”

ㅤ       Its allure resides in the dangerous conviction that youth may be squandered with impunity, as though vigor were inexhaustible. Time slips by with quiet brutality until exhaustion settles beneath the flesh and the psyche begins to feel strangely unrecognizable. Fatigue gradually loses its sharpness and assimilates into routine, leaving behind a persistence that feels almost mechanical.

ㅤ  ‣ . .     V8! Vernon and The8 traverse Consumed Youth, a realm where excessive stimulus warps the psyche into unfamiliar topographies. Youth burns with a brilliance so deceptive it feels immune to time to recede with startling silence. Its afterimage remains suspended beneath consciousness, haunting every fragment it once illuminated.

ㅤ       ㅤ       The aftermath of youth’s
ㅤ       ㅤ      gradual depletion unfolds through
ㅤ       ㅤ       two distinct manifestations.
