The Rooftops of the Hanamachi

A dark piece that I feel captures Chiyo's mood as she tries to navigate over the rooftops towards her sister to escape. This song also reflects the bitterness of Chiyo's failure, and loss of her sister forever. The instruments used here are heavy and the tones are drawn out to elongate the feeling of despair Chiyo's character feels. Well done.
