These aren't background tracks. They're the emotional scaffolding holding the whole experience together. Every track is tied to a specific discovery. "Journal Theme" plays as you read private thoughts you maybe shouldn't be reading.
"Sparkly Shoes" and "Orange Peels" are named after the objects that trigger memories, and the music captures that strange ache of holding something mundane that suddenly means everything.
