The End Credits Of A Nostalgic Dream is a project that generally shows how various afflictions, such as dementia, progress and affect a person and their physical and mental capacity over time. It primarily samples music and media from the Gen Z and Gen Alpha era, applying effects and distortions to it.

CHAPTER 2 (SIDES C+D):
INFO: "At this point, the feeling of something wrong takes center stage. You connect the dots into constellations and all the cards finally make sense. It can't just be an off day, or a sleepless night, or another petty excuse anymore - every single nostalgic memory is slowly escaping your grasp, and there's nothing that can be done to stop it. But you pretend that everything is still okay. You force memories to be present, even if they crumble under the pressure. Hope is fragile.

The train is arriving earlier than expected. True happiness seems impossible now, and from now on, life won't ever be the same again, but the worst is still yet to come..."

STATUS: Mild, yet noticeable cognitive decline. Patient [REDACTED] has begun to spend more time daydreaming. Getting lost in familiar environments, failing to remember events that just happened and other forms of forgetfulness chip away at the Patient's personality. The self-realisation of one's shortcomings causes anxiety and frustration to the Patient as anger and depression become everyday occurrences.
