That all makes sense, but there’s limited options because it’s a short scene and we can’t separate the music from the dialogue. The “sharp transition” as jarbear put it is in a different key than the “soft” transition.

Still, I’ve tried a couple of options. The first is the same cues, but adding sound effects during the transition to ease it a bit. The Alt removes the three declarative notes (and adds sound fx) to change the transition.
