The distances between the holes gave the appearance of having been measured with a ruler, but, in reality, Niisato determined the precise distances using only his eye. After completing the demonstration, he told his audience that he often fires...
...forest. The second act adds a reprise of “The Hazards of Love” through the eyes of her love William. The album reaches a peak with “The Wanting Comes in Waves/Repaid,” as William is confronted by the evil queen. Using the leitmotifs from the previous songs, the later half of the album describes the rake character and the abduction of Margaret until she and her lover find peace in death at the album’s conclusion.Full of recurring motif variations and the numerous interludes, “The Hazards...
