The Way In was made within a day, on February 14th 2018, release day of Danne Harvey and I's Lit Club Vibes album. At the time, I had reached a dreadful point in my life: I was severely depressed and unable to work, I recently had a death in the family, and relationship problems galore. My escape at the time was the game Doki Doki Literature Club, as well as the album Danne and I were heavily working on.
This instrumental song is an ode to Monika, the antagonist of the game, as well as a symbol of my entry into the community, which would help me deal with my symptoms and everyday struggles.
