This playlist follows Lina and Doon from the wonder of reaching the open world into the strain of sharing scarce resources with the people of Sparks. Spacious electronic and cinematic instrumentals evoke discovery, uncertainty, and mounting tension; the vocal songs turn toward displacement, mistrust, and the difficult hope of choosing solidarity over violence.
