In my planning of this orchestration, I felt that a traditional transition would sound too similar to the original track, especially if I used the same drums. Seam has this pretty chill indifferent attitude to the player, but the melody here is pretty fleshed out. It hints at some rich backstory, and you see them again in Chapter 2. I imagine if you ever made a spin-off with Seam as the main character, you'd see the character theme that while originally a throwaway motif, get spun out and developed even more, and that idea is what I decided to go with.

In my arrangements and compositions, I've usually been afraid of having pure slow songs, partly because I find it difficult to use long sustained notes without it coming off as flat, and it's really easy to expose the artificial sound of virtual samples. Here I forced myself to embrace the slowness and really work at layering and fine-tuning each instrument's expression. I used more Distant Worlds arrangements for inspiration, particularly the Dark World arrangement from Final Fantasy VI.
