Love this theme. In a game series where the facts seem to elude its protagonist for hours and hours, this theme plays at just the right time. Right as the levee finally breaks, this piece comes in to usher in Wright’s unraveling of the case. It’s extremely satisfying, and in my opinion, no equivalent theme has matched it later in the series (admittedly, I haven’t heard all of them). It’s the kind of music you wish would play when you’re delivering an impassioned speech or argument in real life. It truly fits the mood.
