| Description: |
As Matt notices that he has lost the letter to his son, we hear mysterious music, starting with a dramatic stinger, and followed by pizzicato over tense tremolos; there are quick ascending gestures as he realizes that he must take action to get the letter back |

| Analysis: |
Uses a prolonged (0148) sonority and a whole-tone (0248) ostinato, followed by parallel (0148) sonorities and a chromatic gesture leading to a dissonant final polychord (B over C over Ab) |
