Inspiration Behind the Story:
This story was inspired by Standchen S. 560 (in D Minor) (not featured in this video).
Standchen, originally composed by Franz Schubert and arranged by Franz Liszt, is a hauntingly beautiful classical piano composition known for its ethereal melodies, romantic melancholy, and emotional intensity—perfect fuel for postmodern science fiction.
