Gorgeous.
I must say, this was one of the more interesting pieces I've heard on NG. You've taken an idea and boldly brought it together in a seamless synthesis of emotion.
I, too, was most certainly not expecting the death cry at the beginning. However, it succeeded in shocking me into hearing the rest of the piece, and I was not at all disappointed.
True, the laugh (who I assume is supposed to be JENOVA, correct me if I'm wrong) at 2:41 was a tad unnecessary, however overall it doesn't really affect the piece in a negative way.
I am truly inspired by this amazing piece of emotion and style. A well deserved 10/10. Keep up the good work.
With love,
