ARE WE STILL FRIENDS?

ARE WE STILL FRIENDS? is both the story's resolution and the cyclical return to the beginning. Igor, unable to fully let go in I DON'T LOVE YOU ANYMORE, desperately seeks to maintain a connection with his love interest—even if only as friends. This restarts the entire cycle of obsession, as the track ends exactly how IGOR'S THEME begins.

ARE WE STILL FRIENDS? expresses desperation, longing for connection, fear of complete separation, fragile hope, and continued underlying obsession. Igor was so close to moving on, yet he reverts back to the emotional state he had at the beginning of the album.

• "Are we still friends? Can we be friends? / I've got to know": Igor's desperate plea to salvage some form of relationship. He will never fully get over his love interest.
• "Don't get green skin, keep contact / Don't say, 'Goodbye, smell you later'": Igor doesn't want a clean break; he wants to stay in their life, believing they can stay friends without rekindling jealousy.
• "I don't want to end the season on a bad episode": He wants a positive closure, fearing the emotional finality of a real ending.
• "You made it, could be your favorite if you make it your friend": Igor convinces himself there's still something special, even if just platonic—though this is likely just a way to stay close.
• "Can't say goodbye": The ultimate admission of his inability to let go and his lingering obsession.

• The track is built around a powerful soul sample, giving it a grand, emotional, and tragic feel—fitting as a final chapter.
• The acoustic instrumentation and clear vocal delivery make this one of the most emotionally honest tracks on the album.
• Tyler's raw and passionate vocals pair perfectly with the instrumentation, revealing the true depth of Igor's desperation.
• The song is in F major but doesn't resolve on an F note, creating a musically inconclusive ending. When combined with the E♭ note in IGOR'S THEME, it implies a seamless loop—highlighting the cyclical nature of the story.
