I found the piece a bit robotic, but that's from the software, I reckon. Having it played by a person would make it so much more flowing and smooth, so it's not the composition at all, just the tech. Nicely done!

Description
An instrumental soundtrack made with FL Studio for a game where the main character and their friend work in now-parallel worlds alongside the citizens of their world to reconstruct the link that previously connected their worlds together. The soundtrack took the main rhythmic idea from a soundtrack called "You" and its variants from the anime and visual novel series called "Higurashi: When They Cry" (as I struggled to modify the rhythmic pattern without modifying the overall vibe to a more "sad" or more "happy" vibe), and the melodies of the soundtrack, colour-coded pink and blue for the girl and bubble figure in the photo theme respectively, were my attempt at representing their feelings on whether they can play together like in their past.

How does it fit the theme?
The soundtrack attempts to express the feelings of the girl and the bubble figure after being separated after an unknown world creation, with the photo theme depicting both characters' core memory and motivation to restore the link connecting their worlds.
