  Claire says: I've included one song for each of the main six, and I threw in three for some additional characters as well (including what I imagine to be Visser 3's ridiculous inner monologue). Not completely satisfied with my choices, so I'd love to hear other suggestions! CW for rape/abuse with the Weezer song, but I thought it fit Aftran pretty well.

  I wish I could include this one for Cassie or just in general, but I don't think there's a studio recording.
