A recurring scene in Noir depicts young Mireille walking down a hallway in her Corsican home and discovering her entire family murdered. This wallpaper is based off the track "Corsican Corridor" in Noir OST 1, which portrays this sequence of events.

In the BGM, haunting vocals create an uneasy atmosphere, with echoes conveying the size and emptiness of the long hallway. Progressive percussion builds tension and depicts Mireille’s progress down the corridor; a final cymbal roll marks her pushing open the door to the veranda, to a horrific revelation.

This wallpaper is a tableau of that fateful moment, attempting to capture the suspense of the scene, the dark atmosphere, and the size and length of the corridor as it must have seemed to a frightened little girl.

[This wallpaper was an entry for the music-themed EVI vs TLM challenge at the battlegrounds]

You won't find that picture of li'l Mireille anywhere else - I had to draw it by hand based on a screencap and her character sheet from the artbook.

As an aside, Yuki Kajiura is one helluva composer. And yay, we won!
