This mirrors the episodic nature of the narrative, where each chapter ends on a cliffhanger, and the storyline continues to twist and turn without reaching a satisfying conclusion. The music reinforces this by never providing a harmonic \"home\" in the traditional sense; instead, it keeps circling back on itself, much like the characters’ continual return to their unresolved conflicts.\n",
