Neon: Prologue

(A single distant bell)

(Low atmospheric drone begins)

[JAEHA — whispered]:

Before the light…

(A faint heartbeat)

[NOVA — whispered]:

夜が目を覚ます…

(Deep strings slowly rise)

[SERA]:

Something is coming.

(A distorted electronic pulse enters)

[ARIA — softly]:

Can you feel it?

(Choir begins underneath the strings)

[MINJI]:

The signal…

(Heartbeat accelerates)

(BOOM)

[ALL — whispered]:

…is us.

(INSTRUMENTAL BUILD)

(Violins climb)

(Low brass enters)

(Electronic static flickers between the orchestral hits)

[JAEHA]:

Five voices.

[NOVA]:

五つの光。

[SERA]:

One frequency.

[ARIA]:

One world.

[MINJI]:

One name.

[ALL — layered]:

AURIVA.

(Everything suddenly drops away)

(A distorted whisper circles left → right):

“A… U… R… I… V… A…”

(Massive orchestral impact)

(Electronic bass begins underneath)

[ALL]:

WAKE UP.

(The 72 BPM orchestral pulse rapidly doubles: 72 → 96 → 112 → 128 BPM)

(Synth riser)

(Glitch)

(Heartbeat)

Let’s begin.

(“NEON RUN” instrumental drops in)
