Obtained specific permission to use this song from the Hardcore Underground label. Screenshot available upon request.

I think a very beautiful song, but is a bit rhythmically challenged in terms of what it can offer. Straightforward of mostly 8ths, there are 2 difficulty spikes that occur and are probably the most interesting aspects to prevent the file from becoming a snore to play. The spikes play reasonably easily but could be lowered if necessary; however, diluting the spikes would probably make the file a bit too boring.
FOR JUDGES: a few notes.
13.79-35.74s: There's a specific 8th rhythm percussion that plays throughout this section, but I only acknowledge it during the empty spots where vocals are not present. When the vocals are present, I only step that plus piano chords, because layering in the quiet percussion would get the vocal steps lost. Conversely, ignoring the 8th percussion during empty sections would make the file a bit too empty.
35.74-57.68s: The aforementioned quiet 8th rhythm percussion is ignored entirely here and only the vocals are being focused, for the same reason as above. Empty sections are too small between vocals to really be filled in, so it's only the vocals plus piano chords.

Now It's Over
-------------
- Permission, sync, metadata good.

- 17.222, 18.250, 18.593, etc.: Honestly these omissions feel really strange because there is still perfectly prominent percussion here. I don't think adding them would detract from your structure of switching in and out of following percussion based on vocals either.
* 54.079: This part has me very confused. Is this note for piano? If so, some are missing at e.g. 55.540; else if it's for the vocal, it is quite early. 54.422 also seems insufficient to capture the vocal; it more accurately starts on the 16th at 54.508, but there's been a bit of fudging already in the chart and the beat at 54.593 seems like a better choice than the 8th.
- 80.308 section: Compared to the section at 58.365, the layering here feels pretty underwhelming... especially since it goes up again at 90.593. Why? What changed there?
- 104.479, 115.450: The vocal is technically on the 16th afterwards.
- 122.136-123.508: After the layering increase at 120.765 (which I like), this seems underwhelming, like the 16th percussion should get a lot more attention than it is currently getting.
- 124.365: Cool and explicit dual-layer patterning.

- Competent chart, not a whole lot to nitpick technically, though I found myself pretty confused about some structural layering decisions. [7.5/10]
