[DESCRIPTION OF VARIOUS VIDEOS UPLOADED UNDER PROJECT "CONFINED ATONEMENT"]

OVERVIEW OF PROJECT:
>>> On February 7th, 2023, Kirb privately announced a hiatus he would be taking for most of the year to spend time bettering his mentality. While these matters need not be discussed publicly, this led to him needing outlets to blow off steam and express how he felt. One of these projects was titled [CONFINED ATONEMENT].

>>> [Prologue] ~ Hatred of Self
> The first video to start the project was a 1-minute animation of the SonicKade sona in Kirb's central headspace. He tosses and kicks around several black boxes that are meant to resemble "art block". The video fades on him tossing one into the distance, then kicking a set of three out of view. He grasps his head in frustration. The next scene has him slam his fist onto the ground several times, then glowing red and shaking back and forth. The footage goes black then reappears with him unleashing a pillar of red into the area. It fades into the next scene after some seconds where he picks himself up with a disgruntled expression, then looks out into the distance and begins walking. the video ends.

>>> [Theme Song] ~ Safe With Me
> This is the opening movie of the series. It begins by fading into The NegaDrive Staff discovering the sona's actions and deciding to follow him. It then leads into the main animation where the sona runs out from a cave and onto a plateau of a new world. The world is designed with a faded, limited color palette, and the movie shows a montage of places around the landscape. Lyrics also appear on-screen as the melodies progress.

>>> [Bonus] ~ Know the World
> This is an extra video created to give more context on the land that CONFINED ATONEMENT takes place in. The footage pans over 3 scrnes of NegaDrive HQ and shows their database assuming an automatic scan. Below is a transcript of what it documented:

> [ Gathering resources... ]
> [ Compiling... ]

> [NEGADRIVE STAFF]
> - Spacia {Spc.: Kitsune}
> - Jumber {Spc.: Frog}
> - Hariet {Spc.: Bird/Eagle}

> > These three own and run [The Negadrive] [sic], a large archive of information on [SonicKade2048]. Appeared August 2020 and have access to every timeline, world, universe, etc. he's made. They have no further backstory and live in a hidden dimension. Their office has acted like their home, and they're even immortal.

> [SONICKADE2048]
> - Kirb {Spc.: Shy Guy}
> - aliases: SK, SonicKade

> > Creator of the characters seen throughout his life. His real self is connected to his profiles, shown with the personification of the SonicKade name. [Kade], his highest-priority character, acts as a mascot. His roots dig far, and SK still wants to find what he truly wants out of creating fictional life. They motivate him in a positive feedback loop.

> [FLORA AND FAUNA]

> > The new world holds new species. Animals and plants will be based on real-life, but have different traits, mainly fur / skin / scale colors. There will also be dinosaur-like species, some animals will be bigger or smaller than usual, and even insects may be more common. Meanwhile, flowers, fruits, vegetables, etc. will also look new but familiar. Keep an eye out for whatever you can.

> [THE MONSTER]

> A large, red creature lives in the massive cave on one end of the island; it's a shape-shifter and hunts during the night. Its magic lets it change into whatever species it wants, also able to change size. This monster is what SK and the ND staff will be up against, and only SK will be able to defeat it.

> It's during this segment that the visual glitches out, and new text can be discovered by pausing on the correct frame.

####################

> [THE MONSTER]

> A manifestation is what lives in the cave on the island. It hunts during the night, searching for SK. It can change form, fly, do whatever it wants. It seeks its vessel in hopes of killing it, and SK must fight to the death lest he be the one to fall. Only he knows why this monster is here and what its motive really is, and once reality sets in for ND staff, maybe they'll understand, too.

>>> KirBirthday 2023 ~ SECTION B - SonicKade2048
> Another bonus video released during [KirBirthday 2023] alongside two other lore-related videos. It acts as an intermediate scene to show SonicKade adjusting to the world now that he has entered it. The video goes as follows:

####################

> [Fade in on the solar body in the sky, then pan down to SK laying in the grass; pause, then fade to close-up of SK]
> (This world is so pleasant to be in...)
> (Some kind of sanctuary without technology.)
> [Fade to wilderness scene 1]
> (All this wildlife, the different biomes, so much terrain to freely run through.)
> (How tall those mountains are, how lush the forest is, how expansive that cave looks...)
> [Fade to wilderness scene 2]
> (Maybe I can head back home often-ish. I still have a channel to run.)
> (But... I could stay here for months.)
> [Fade to wilderness scene 3]
> (The wildlife, too...)
> (I've never seen such level-headed animals in any fictional world like this.)
> (So much variety in their designs, colors and patterns alike.)
> (Landscapes all the same; sandy mountains, the cave looking nearly a half-mile tall, grass as white as snow...)
> (What IS this place, and how has no-one ever found it before?)
> [Cut back to camera view above SK]
> (.......)
> (I should keep looking around later, but for right now...)
> (...I can finally get some rest.)
> [Camera pans back up to solar body, then fades to black]

NOTES, TRIVIA & MISC.:
> The theme song of CONFINED ATONEMENT marks Kirb's second original song to have lyrics, while the first would be the end credits song of Kirb: Nightmare in Funland, titled "Growing Up". Said song is currently unavailable on the channel, however, due to the status of the project, and it is unclear when it and its adjacent videos will be reinstated.
> Know the World has a noticeable typo where it abbreviates NegaDrive to "NG" instead of "ND". It also does not capitalize the D in "Drive".
