Each character gets a trio of tracks, their theme, a dark variant, and a family version. "Hikari" and "Hikari Dark" show this off well, same melodic DNA but completely different emotional weight. "Pressure" and "Strain" break the calm with tension tracks that remind you this isn't just a romance.
There's real unease buried in here. If you're into VN soundtracks that build worlds through subtle repetition and variation, this one rewards close listening.
