Part of a series of synthscapes I did for the webcomic Slightly Damned.
How to listen to this piece:
First, open pages 92 and 93 of Slightly Damned. Be ready to switch between them.

Pause the piece at the start. Turn off the loop.
Numbering each pane left to right, top to bottom, the piece follows the following cues:
Page 92
0:00 - 1 - "Where am I?"
0:05 - 2 "...wait... this place..."
0:11 - 3
0:15 - 4 - Rhea says "Oh no..." just a little before we see what she sees...
0:22 - 5 - And then we see what Rhea saw... I said "Oh no..." too, the first time... T__T
0:36 - 6 - The slight vibrato on the high strings gives me the impression of Buwaro's horrorstruck pleas for his sister to wake up. Poor Buwaro...
0:46 - 7 - "...S-Sakido can't ever wake up."
0:54 - 8 - "Demon's don't come back. Death is perm-"
1:00 - 9 - The strings pause for a moment, giving Buwaro space to cry.
1:06 - 10 - They then join his cries of sorrow, trying as Rhea is to comfort him. Perhaps they are better thought of as Rhea's words, then.
1:21 - 11 - I always liked this cadence I play with the suspended second chords here, I use it a lot. Kinda reminds me of church bells. In this case, I imagine Rhea taking a solemn oath on whatever she believes in to watch over Buwaro. To me, this would be God, so I think of church bells when I take such an oath, hence the musical reference.
Page 93
1:43 - 1 - The moment of holiness passes, and Rhea gets on to digging graves.
1:53 - 2
2:10 - 3 - This change represents the reverence and grief associated with the last time Sakido's body is seen in the webcomic.
2:45 - 4 - Rhea performs one final act of gratitude and respect in the funeral.
3:06 - "Despite the facts I was told, I felt it was the right thing to do."
3:16 - 5 - They say their final prayers for her...
3:43 - 6 - ...before leaving her in peace.
3:53 - 7 - RIP Sakido Elexion. May Gaia be with you.
So, yeah, enjoy! XD
