can't stop thinking about how "Precinct 41 Major Crimes Unit" from DE soundtrack is just a musical masterpiece.
Did you notice how it's the same exact motive as "Krenel, Downwell, Somatosensor" but more intense, more suspenseful? At the tribunal, the music makes you feel the tension, sharpens your senses. The situation Harry finds himself in is dangerous, unpleasant, he needs to make choices that can cost him, or other people he cares about, a life, even. It makes you feel more vigilant, more aware of your current choices, their meaning and potential consequences. It sygnalises that something big is going to happen.
At the trial, we have the same musical motive playing in the background, but it's even more meaningful here. The rhythm is marked more clearly, the tension is even more perceptible. Even though there is no direct threat of life, meeting his posse Harry is feeling similar as he did during the tribunal. He knows where this is going. You don't need to get far into the dialogue, to know that scene will be about your choices throughout the game. You don't need to know who are the people you're talking to, to know that this is your fate that is at stake. The music says it all.
