Powerless Playlist
“Powerless” is a story about being judged for what you’re born with, then learning what you can become anyway. This playlist moves between sheltered, intimate intensity (quiet power, fear, and uncertainty) and sharper, defiant momentum (rebellion, chosen identity, and hard-earned belonging), matching Paedyn’s arc from “ordinary” to something dangerous—and real.
