Artist commentary:

Catboss: (composer, booklet commentary)

~ in loving memory of becquerel ~

He was a good dog, and the best friend anyone could ever hope to have.

Lunise: (track artist, booklet commentary)

I was inspired by the pesterlog on page 6758. Even though I had heard konec0's track long before that update, when I listened to it again to get an idea for what kind of track art I'd like to draw for it, all I could think of was that pesterlog about alpha Jade.

Catboss: (composer, SoundCloud description, excerpt)

"He is such a good boy, and truly the best friend a girl could ever hope for.
You're sure gonna miss him!"

~ In loving memory of Becquerel. Good dog. Best friend. ~

This song was nominated to be on the Land of Fans and Music album, an unofficial compilation of Homestuck fanmusic. However, I chose to submit Beginnings and MeGaDanceVaNia over it. I'm actually really proud of this remix; I'm usually terrible at slow songs, but this one just works. It's suitably bittersweet, and a sombre take on an event otherwise presented in a light-hearted manner.
