The music itself gives off a mellow, melancholy feel. There are two measures of piano with backing vocals before the melody comes in. This melody is carried by the flute, which features a prominent vibrato in the HD remix version. In the first 4-measure phrase, the accompaniment starts on the D minor chord, which brings the melancholy mood, but it gradually gets more uplifting as the chords shift the tonic to d minor's relative F Major.
The music itself gives off a mellow, meloncholy feel. The melody is carried by the flute, which features a prominent vibrato in the HD remix version. Once it reaches a crescendo, the music becomes louder and livelier, showing hope. Each part represents part of Roxas' life. With the sad part reflecting his days in the Organization, and the second part reflecting his hope for a better future with his friends.
The second 4-measure phrase has an identical melody to the first, but this time the accompaniment begins on F Major, making the repeated phrase sound much brighter. However, Roxas's story was always steeped in sorrow, and as such, for the final 2-measure phrase, the accompaniment jumps back to the tragic D minor, low and heavy on the piano.
