"Orion" is a newly written track inspired by The Fall of a Sparrow, a short novel set in Tokyo-the new stage of Overwatch-which centers around the characters Genji, Hanzo and Kiriko.

The comma (,) added to the very end of the title symbolizes that YOASOBI's story is far from over and will continue to unfold into the future.
