Waiting for permission to fail
Tell Me When unfolds in a world where every choice is guided by algorithms — even rebellion needs permission.
It’s the whisper of someone who’s forgotten how to move without instruction. They’ve surrendered control for fear of failure, and now they wait… for a signal to get it wrong.
An intimate, restrained piece where human emotion strains against the rules.
As if making a mistake were the last true act of freedom.
