21. Intimate Captain
The Captain Bright finishes transcribing the events that occurred on the island in his diary. He glances at Zack, his dog, and then his gaze is lost in the void.
He can't help but think of the young Tyler. What a waste this broken siblings are... It will take time for the crew to recover from this tragedy. But all were warned of the risks by committing.
As for Scott, Bright barely ran into him on Vengeance on the return trip to Staoslam City. He didn't even see him leave the ship. Who knows where he may be now?
"May Nãkama forgive us!"
Backstage
Created in the summer of 2023, this short rendition of the captain's theme, mainly played on the piano, was originally a bonus track. I finally included it in the album to ensure a smooth transition between the return to the city and the epilogue dedicated to Scott.
The bell sound heard at the end of the track is real and was recorded by myself near a church in the southeast of France. It's played as a sample in Arturia Pigments.
