From Eternal Sonata: The Final Chapter called Heaven's Mirror. This is a dialogue between Frederic Chopin and the party members (video included) [YOUTUBE]QgM0GmEqil0[/YOUTUBE] Heaven's Mirror Beat: Huh? Wait Frederic! What are you doing? Alegretto: Hey! Where are you going? Chopin: When a man's consciousness is fading away he will find without fail that he comes face to face with his own soul and must challenge it.
