Original text

不穏な空気を表す曲ということと、主にバーンのシーンで使用されるということで、あまり極悪になりすぎないよう意識して制作しました。ですが1曲目も2曲目もバーンに特化しすぎているということで残念ながらボツになってしまいました。仕切り直して3曲目のこの曲は内面の不安感を表すため、不協和なストリングスとともにビートとシンクロさせた心臓の鼓動音を、徐々にテンポアップしながら不安を煽る構成としました。

Unofficial translation

Since this song expresses a disturbing atmosphere and is really only used in scenes with Bana in them, I was aware to not produce it as overly heinous. But, regrettably, the first and also second versions of the songs were overly specialized for Bana. So they were turned down. Starting up again with the third version of the song, for expressing a sense of inner anxiety, it was composed of dissonant strings while at the same time the beat was synced with a heartbeat. Then I slowly increased the tempo to stir up anxiety.
