Original text
別れをイメージした曲は全体で3曲あったのですが、そのうち一番軽めなこの曲はあまりドラマチックな方向にはせず、ピアノを主体とし静かな 哀しみをイメージしてしっとりと仕上げました。30秒からは「Counterattack」のサビで使用しているモチーフをこっそり(？)登場させています。この曲はほぼピアノソロということもありフェビアン・レザ・パネさんに演奏して頂きました！ 哀しみの中にもうっとりする響きです。

There are three tracks with the theme of farewell. I made this one to be a fairly light piece, less dramatic than the others, using the piano as a lead to symbolize a quieter sadness. About 30 seconds in, I sneakily(?) included the hook from Counterattack. Since this piece is almost entirely solo piano, I had Febian Reza Pane perform it! Even in a sad piece, his sound is captivating.
Trivia[edit]
When the English localisations were first revealed for the XC2 soundtrack, this track was titled 'Lonliness'; the typo was corrected before the release of the Xenoblade2 Original Soundtrack.
