A Fragment of Peace

During Ayato’s banner rerun last year, “A Fragment of Peace" starred as the first piece in his EP. Back then, I promised that if I won the 50/50, I would create the sheet music for all the pieces in his EP and play them all. Here’s the second piece of homework. This piece is originally from Asase Shrine on Seirai Island; the left-hand accompaniment echoes back and forth like a pendulum, hinting at Neko’s immutable wait for Hibiki, day after day. Though the wait is endless, Neko remains innocently optimistic. Perhaps HoYoverse selected this piece for Ayato's EP because there is always someone waiting for him to return to the Kamisato estate, allowing him to enjoy a fragment of comfort in his peaceful hideaway.

去年绫人复刻时，EP第一首便是这《宁然一隅》。当时立了flag，说如果补命座不歪，那便将EP中的曲子都扒谱演奏；现在来交作业了。这首曲是清籁岛浅濑神社的御用bgm；如钟摆式相互呼应的底色似乎昭示着寝子日复一日的等待，虽然无际，却保有一丝天真的希望。或许官方将此曲选进绫人EP也是因为神里屋敷中总有人等待他的归来，使他在这宁然一隅享受片刻的安逸。
