A dark, varied score for Astarion’s passage from enforced predation toward agency, trust, and the possibility of tenderness. Baroque and modern classical tension evokes Baldur’s Gate’s dangerous nocturnal streets, while the two vocal songs reflect the weight of undeath and the pull between captivity and intimacy.
