The concept now developed into the album containing three parts - Linion lore introduction, Bite's personal stuff and the sum up of [[Tinion Steamdust|Tinion]] & others’ stories. “[[LETTING GO 101]]” was out of the picture, so a new ending song for Bite’s section was needed. There was once a draft for a song titled “My Name Is Bite” that was supposed to cap off the album, but it was unfortunately lost when Bite’s phone suffered severe corrosion after bringing it into the shower. Finding himself unable to make anything from scratch, Bite created a demo for an ending song titled “I SUCK AT ENDINGS” based on the “TIME TO MOVE ON” .flp file. The instrumental felt too happy and derivative for Bite though, so he immediately scrapped it. After a week of contemplating what to do, Bite started messing with the file again, and ended up with a grimmer instrumental, which he developed into “IMPRESSION”.

Despite the whole sentiment of "IMPRESSION" being Bite finally moving on, he went ahead and continued to obsessively look through his private messages with others who cut contact with him. Through that he reached a certain point in 2020 when a friend of his showed him Melobytes, a prototype AI music generator mostly reliant on midi. A few tracks made through converting images to audio were sent between the two, which Bite thought sounded cool. He previously sampled similar files for [[Tinion Steamdust's Encore|Encore]], but now after being re-introduced to the tool used to make them, he went ahead and created a whole new instrumental that he would then use for "abandoned mural".

Having wanted to do a live event for some time now, Bite decided to fake one. He intentionally staged and edited [https://youtu.be/4vQeRxtQVVQ?si=CCom7-0vnY4HTM-k 15 minutes worth of a fictional live show]. He began with laying down the instrumentals with extra reverb, layered vocals for some four hours to create the crowd, then performed the whole show in one take, in the middle of which his dad walked in. The 'live event' featured many of [[Tinion Steamdust]]'s 'lovable hits' from the previous albums so far. This will be important later, so keep this track in mind.

Bite places the concert track around the first third, where he also wanted some random Linion Island song. One night, during a walk home, Bite was pacing in the rain holding a small Coca Cola can. Right then and there it hit him, the line "Just a single Jinion outside, drinking Cola in the rain." Unfortunately, now matter how much Bite tried to develop [https://youtu.be/4kPzY6376yU?si=hdi0gVgb0Iz5CWfg that song] (not a lot) it didn't go nowhere, so he just scrapped it. Instead, he posted an announcement in his server, recruiting random people for 50 robux to have a part in an interview at the end of [https://youtu.be/4vQeRxtQVVQ?si=CCom7-0vnY4HTM-k Tinion Steamdust's Concert]. This marks the first time pyrokynn & Franku musically collaborated with Bite. The instrumental for that interview was also made with Melobytes, just like "abandoned mural."

Still, something felt missing in place of where "[https://youtu.be/4kPzY6376yU?si=hdi0gVgb0Iz5CWfg Cola In The Rain]" was supposed to be. At the time, Bite was already working on what was supposed to be his next project, "[[The Storyteller EP]]," three remakes of random freestyles he once did with nightsparta. The final track, "Storytellah", already had a beat made for it with a full piano outro section. Bite decided to just sacrifice the instrumental he made for Tinion's Finale, and turned it into "Cloak and Dagger."

The verse written for it was unfortunately hard to perform though. Bite decided he'll give it a moment before trying again, and actually managed to record the published version live on YouTube stream "[https://www.youtube.com/live/LK1mEOCKHZ8?si=4A12kpFQR8O2MGoY Tinion's Finale Release Day]" (36:18) just 2 days before the album officially released, and 30 minutes before the full album was literally previewed.

Originally created as a nickname for MinionAlex4 by UnwarierOrca in a Discord friends server, "[[Jinnerman]]" evolved into the design of a short wide man with a chicken leg for a head. A few months later Bite was randomly sculpting a grotesque cubical yet realistic man, and decided that should be the [[Jinnerman]] instead. Now that a two hour long album is trying to cram in as much references to Tinion lore as possible, making a track about [[Jenon]] for [[New Findings]] only warranted one for this beastly creature too.

It began with a free form idea and [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTYuGFOOTGI&list=PLzno6bLKVozydnhsfjCc3Wsz83sRy7NbC&index=7&pp=gAQBiAQB8AUB short instrumental demo] developed with SpringCola. The song was going to be a complete joke and oriented around many different switches throughout, beginning with groovy glitch-hop shenanigans and ending in a horrifying sound collage. Two demos later, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTYuGFOOTGI&list=PLzno6bLKVozydnhsfjCc3Wsz83sRy7NbC&index=7&pp=gAQBiAQB8AUB SpringCola's version] was given up on as the track went into hiatus, with Bite hoping to acquire more skills by the time he's ready to develop it again. There was one instrumental (Ending of Jinnerman Pt.2) but it didn't seem grand or complete enough to be the whole song. More needed to be made. Nearly half a year later, now that practically nothing else was left to complete, he went ahead and tried again.

What came out was [https://youtube.com/shorts/tgg1CmuviDo a loop of a pipe organ with trap drums on top]. So he tried again, and only managed to come through with a percussion line. Two days later, thinking it's time to revert to [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTYuGFOOTGI&list=PLzno6bLKVozydnhsfjCc3Wsz83sRy7NbC&index=7&pp=gAQBiAQB8AUB that old demo], Bite attempted it one last time. He laid down the bass guitar line in the beginning, and from that point onwards, the entire song came together in two hours.

Remember the [https://youtu.be/4vQeRxtQVVQ?si=CCom7-0vnY4HTM-k Tinion Steamdust Concert]? When Bite was going to upload the album to streaming services, he made the realization the entire thing is littered with copyrighted instrumentals from Rockstar Games, Skrillex, dv4d, Bring Me The Horizon and some more. Having just met Sogmeister, he turned to him for a solution, and the two wrote "Life as a Jinion."
