== Track description ==
{{C418 agreement}}
[[File:Living mice.ogg]]

"Living Mice" is an inquisitive tune that begins with a looping 4-note pattern being played on an [[wikipedia:Electric Piano|electric piano]] that can be heard throughout the track. The electric piano and some warm synths play a melody over this pattern.

The piece later intensifies, with a harp, grand string chords, a piano, and a glockenspiel playing a more emotional section before the track ends by fading out with the same 4-note pattern, but with the addition of the harp and the glockenspiel.
