Blink

Blink is a song released by Akuno-P on August 17, 2014 in The Muzzle of Nemesis album. It portrays Rin's personal reflection on the sapling Michaela as she inevitably grows into a very large tree.

Plot
In the Millennium Tree Forest, a girl speculates that once a sapling has taken root, she’ll have become an adult; she also wonders if she’ll be alive by the time it becomes taller. She continues to imagine that, once the sapling has grown many leaves, the world will have changed even more than it already has, wondering if her sins will have been forgiven once the sapling becomes a tree. The girl notes how, to a tree, a millennium would be the blink of an eye and she prays to the tree for an eternity of peace.

Composition
The song uses Kagamine Rin's Append voicebank, specifically Sweet. A piano and viola are used for the instrumental. The song immediately begins with a vocal track, which ends at 0.31. The second verse begins at 0.36 as the instrumental gains more accompaniment. At 1.05, the second verse ends, immediately shifting into a chorus-like verse. At 1.23, the song shifts back into a regular verse, the viola reaching a crescendo. The song ends at 1.45.

Conceptualization and Origin

 * The song's title refers to Rin's reflection on how a thousand years would be like a blink of the eye for the tree sapling.
 * According to mothy, the song was given a shorter title compared to many of his other songs because he felt it didn't need to be overly long or complicated; he clarified that the song itself still packed a lot of emotion.
