"自閉症の少女” という重たいテーマで曲を書き始めた のですが、 作曲途中であまりにも辛く切ない感情が溢れ 出し、 数日間曲を寝かせてからでないと続きを書くこと が出来ませんでした。

Official translation
After a brief introduction, like a fragment of a memory, a sorrowful melody is calmly played. Carried by the accompaniment, the music swells to become very expressive, reaching a dramatic, virtuosic climax after which the music fades away into the distance.
Original text
記憶の断片による短いイントロ後、哀愁を帯びたメロディーが静かに歌われます。続いて流れるような伴奏に乗り、表情豊かになります。 クライマックスは最もドラマティックになり、技巧的かつ劇的に歌います。頂点になった後、消えるように曲を閉じます。
Trivia[edit]
- In official tracklists for Across the Kosmos, this track's name is always given as "Kokoro o Tozashita Shôjo" (the direct romanisation of its Japanese name). However, during the associated concert, Benyamin Nuss referred to it via its unofficial translation, "The Girl Who Closed Her Heart".
