第 01 幕 / ACT 01
還沒抵達
BEFORE ARRIVAL
長達近一分鐘的空白不是等待交通,而是讓時間先於敘述抵達。
The near-minute of openness does not wait for transport; it lets time arrive before narration.

第 02 幕 / ACT 02
記憶先落地
MEMORY LANDS FIRST
人還沒有回到原點,三段舊時間已先落在地上,彼此保持距離。
Before the person returns, three pieces of old time have already landed, each keeping its distance.

第 03 幕 / ACT 03
第一處舊痕
FIRST WEATHERED TRACE
一小塊表面重新受光,最先被認出的不是地點,而是時間留下的磨損。
A small surface takes light again; what is recognised first is not a place, but the wear that time left behind.

第 04 幕 / ACT 04
時間開始聚攏
TIME GATHERS
分散的年份逐一立起,回返第一次有了方向,卻仍不是回到原位。
Scattered years rise one by one; return gains direction for the first time without restoring the old position.

第 05 幕 / ACT 05
多年的同一刻
YEARS IN ONE MOMENT
多圈時間同時運轉,缺失的一段仍清楚可見;記憶因此有了最大密度。
Several rings of time move at once while one interval remains visibly missing; memory reaches its greatest density.

第 06 幕 / ACT 06
中心持續轉動
THE CENTRE KEEPS TURNING
高點沒有立刻過去,影子仍在長時間切開圓環;故鄉與自己同時向前。
The crest does not pass at once; the shadow keeps cutting the ring as home and self move forward together.

第 07 幕 / ACT 07
不同速度的人
LIVES AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS
每一段弧都以自己的速度站立;真正的回返,是承認彼此已經變成不同的人。
Each arc stands at its own speed; true return begins by admitting that everyone has changed.

第 08 幕 / ACT 08
回返不是倒帶
RETURN IS NOT REWIND
時間環向遠處傾斜,路徑看似熟悉,方向卻只允許繼續向前。
The time-ring tilts into the distance; the path feels familiar, but its direction permits only forward motion.

第 09 幕 / ACT 09
缺口被照亮
THE GAP IN LIGHT
密度下降以後,散開的弧片讓缺口第一次完整受光;失去不再需要被遮住。
As density falls, the scattered arcs expose the missing interval to full light; loss no longer needs concealment.

第 10 幕 / ACT 10
請再給一點時間
GIVE ME A LITTLE MORE TIME
圓環仍少一段,影子卻已走完;時間沒有停下,只允許人重新看清自己與故鄉的距離。
The ring still lacks one interval, though the shadow has completed its course; time does not stop, but lets us see the distance between self and home.
