I think the hook was that the very end of it was tracked%2C in its original usage%2C to very similar imagery to the first part of %5Bi%5DEndgame%5B%2Fi%5D I thought of%2C but backtracking%2C I realized that the entire piece of music could be fitted to the scene as if designed for it.%0D%0A%0D%0A%5Blink%3Araven.eyrie-productions.com%2FAUDIO%2Fvaledecem.mp3%7CHere is the track in question%5D%2C and here is a basic rundown of how I think it fits into %5Bi%5DEndgame%5B%2Fi%5D%3A%0D%0A%0D%0A%5Bb%5D00%3A00%5B%2Fb%5D - The track begins playing at the moment when Utena emerges from the Rose Gate%3A %5Btt%5DWhite light poured out... %5B%2Ftt%5D%0D%0A%0D%0A%5Bb%5D00%3A55%5B%2Fb%5D - This part works if you picture the Rune Knights %26 Co. vs. the Million Swords as an extremely arty John Woo-style slow-motion thing with no sound effects or dialogue%2C just the background music mixed starkly into the foreground. %5Btt%5D%22Cover me%21%22%5B%2Ftt%5D%0D%0A%0D%0A%5Bb%5D02%3A00%5B%2Fb%5D - Corwin%27s moment of perfect clarity%3A %5Btt%5DSomething inside him bent%2C cracked%2C and broke in two... %5B%2Ftt%5D%0D%0A%0D%0A%5Bb%5D02%3A06%5B%2Fb%5D - Akio throws Anthy into the Pillar Circle%3A %5Btt%5DLight surged up...%5B%2Ftt%5D%0D%0A%0D%0A%5Bb%5D02%3A23%5B%2Fb%5D - Corwin throws himself against the barrier%3A %5Btt%5DThe Circle pulsed... %5B%2Ftt%5D%0D%0A%0D%0A%5Bb%5D02%3A38%5B%2Fb%5D - %5Btt%5D%22For love%27s sake...
