thank you so much for such a wonderfully detailed analysis of my ost!!! I had so much fun reading through your interpretation 🥹🙏🙏 i actually have a pretty decently solid story for this ost but decided to keep it vague as i always want my ost jams to have open interpretations! Though if you're interested i can definitely try to summarize what i had outlined HAHAH

What i had in mind was actually pretty simple: girl wakes up with mild amnesia in a strange, almost dangerous world where her only key to escaping is a fantastical creature who out of presumable kindness of its heart offered her a ride home with one condition being an object she will have to relent at the end of the journey. The journey itself started off smooth sailing with the dragon soaring through the broken sky, which we get to witness the strange wonders of this seemingly abandoned world. We get inevitable tumult and dangers, with a major roadblock being conveyed in "CONTAMINATION" to which such a crisis somehow triggered a few memories in the girl. She would eventually be carried to safety and the two wanderers would face their final obstacle (the eye looming in the background of the art cover!) and here I imagined them to have come out victorious. The dragon lets her off on a platform carrying the aforementioned door to her home. Before she could ask about the object, the dragon would inform her that it has already managed to obtain it and that she should go towards the door before it closes. As she steps into this bright light glowing out of the doorframe, she could've sworn she heard somebody saying her name... (and that would be Charlotte LOL)

As you could probably tell, the beeps throughout the latter 3 tracks were indeed intended to be a heart monitor! Charlotte wakes in a hospital bed, her consciousness quickly alerts the nurses around her. There's a strange sense of tranquility resting in her chest, and the bandages covering her appendages seemed more like an accessory than its intended purpose. Her dad would eventually regretfully tell her that her sister had succumbed to her injuries. They were both on their way back from school with Charlotte's sister driving when a drunk driver had crashed into them mid intersection, straight into the driver's side. Rose unfortunately died on impact, leaving her little sister in a coma. Charlotte understandably became very distraught and they both grieved, though the memories of the adventure seemingly has fizzled from her mind the moment she had awoken. And that's pretty much what i had in mind!!!

I also had in mind a few instruments of note throughout the ost, which would be the violin and the piano! The violin was meant to represent the dragon, while the piano Charlotte. The violin would have these very virtuosic and elegant lines to denote a dragon flying freely and without constraints. The piano is soft in quality, at times loud and intense to represent Charlotte's will to continue living to see the adventure through. It is also the only remaining instrument to the very end, as she ultimately made it out of said godforsaken world. For "CONTAMINATION" specifically, i was envisioning some sort of moment where Charlotte in reality was suffering through a particularly life threatening infection that eventually stabilized. Whether the dragon saving Charlotte contributed to her stabilization or not is up to the listener LOL

Soooo yeah that's what i had in mind pretty much, and you were spot on with girl coma theory LOL 😂😂😂 i'm so sorry if some things aren't as coherent/elegantly put since i admittedly didn't think toooo deep into the story itself, but the general idea itself gave me enough motivation to make the ost anyway! And as always i still really enjoy going through other people's interpretations as well! If you've read until the very end thank you so much!!!!! Admittedly i felt kinda silly typing all this but nevertheless i hope u liked my little story for this ost 🥹🙏
