A restrained blend of dark electronics, uneasy modern classical textures, and instrumental post-rock follows the shift from Victor and Eli’s clinical college experiments to their increasingly personal and dangerous rivalry. The steady, shadowed arrangements suit a story where extraordinary abilities emerge from calculated risk—and where grief, loyalty, and ambition keep changing the balance of power.
