Phase III: Entanglement

[01. Fluctuations]

[Instrumental]

[Bamboo flute: Jeroen Goossens]

[02. Transformation]

"The Teacher has become the Prodigy's closest friend - and the only person the Prodigy trust. He is glad to see the Prodigy's progress, but can't help wondering if something unhealthy might be behind it. Regardless, he is determined to help the Prodigy, who is having trouble finding his bearings in the strange new world that the drug is revealing to him."

[Violin: Ben Mathot]

[Teacher:]

I don’t mean to interfere, but I see quite a change in you

The distant gaze has disappeared

The brilliant light behind your eyes is shining through

[Prodigy:]

You’re right, it’s strange

It all seems different now

The mist has cleared, I’m finally awake

But it’s hard to change

I want to live but I don’t know how

I need someone to help me find my way

[Teacher:]

You can count on me

I’m glad to have such a mind to teach

Life doesn’t have to be a mystery

You can live my dream

And scale the heights I could never reach

We can play a part changing history

Our time is here!

I have to say, it’s unusual

Such a transformation, overnight!

I wouldn’t have thought it was possible

I don’t want to scare you, but it can’t be right!

[Prodigy:]

Well I don’t mind, cause I feel so much stronger now

For the first time the world is making sense

[Teacher:]

I’ll be your guide

It’s time to live and I’ll show you how

A world of endless wonder lies ahead!

[03. Collision]

"As the Prodigy's confidence soars, he is finally able to stand up to the Rival."

[Prodigy:]

I can’t believe I never saw

How insignificant you are

[Rival:]

Ha! You’re outshined in every way

[Prodigy:]

Well if you are such a genius

It didn’t get you very far!

[Rival:]

I’ll prove you wrong

My mind’s growing

Stronger each day!

[Prodigy and Rival:]

No, you won’t deceive me

You’re nothing but a fake

You’re a sad pretender

Trying to take my place

[Prodigy:]

All the years you bullied me,

Taking pleasure in my pain

[Rival:]

It serves you right

Accept your defeat!

[Prodigy:]

But now I realize you only wish

You had my brain!

[Rival:]

One day, you’ll see

You will be needing me!

[Prodigy and Rival:]

No, you won’t deceive me

You’re nothing but a fake

You’re a sad pretender

A total waste of space

[Rival:]

There can only be one

[Prodigy:]

I’m pretty sure that it’s not you!

[Rival:]

Mark these words

Cause one day you’ll see

You will be needing me!

[04. Side Effects]

"3 years earlier

The Psychiatrist comes to the Father with disturbing news..."

[Violin: Ben Mathot]

[Psychiatrist:]

I’m afraid we’ve got a problem

The side effects have been confirmed

Severe psychosis and delusions

We have to stop the trial today

It’s too dangerous

The boy deserves to know what’s going on

What have we done?!

[Father:]

Son, there’s something I must tell you

I’ve been giving you a drug

I was convinced that I would hep you

Can you forgive me what I’ve done?

[Prodigy:]

No! How could you live with that?

Deceiving your own son to serve yourself

You can go to hell…

[05. Frequency Modulation]

[Instrumental]

[06. Magnetism]

"As the devastated Prodigy rushes to school to find the Teacher, he runs into the Girl and the Rival. He explains that he's left home because his Father has been secretly dosing him with a drug.

[Cello: Maaike Peterse

Uilleann Pipes: Troy Donockley]

[Prodigy:]

Now I’ve told you everything

Now there’s nothing more to hide

I’ve got nowhere else to go

Can I stay with you tonight?

[Girl:]

After all that you’ve been through

How could I turn you away

We were always meant to be

I don’t care what people say

[Rival:]

Don’t you believe it

Don’t be a fool

Manipulate you

Is all he wants to do

He will deceive you

You’re being used

Don’t let him play you

All he wants to do

He wants to be with you

[Prodigy:]

The meds create a perfect world

Patterns, purpose, clarity

How will I ever live without?

What should I do… what’s happening to me?

[Girl:]

Don’t you worry, it’s all right

I will keep you safe from harm

Together we can beat this thing

Before the damage goes too far

[07. Quid Pro Quo]

"2 years ago

The Prodigy has been living with the Girl for some time now, but her loving attention is not enough. Without the drug, the overwhelming chaos in his mind returns, shutting him down and causing him to return to his introverted self. The the Rival comes up with a compelling but devious suggestion."

[Low Whistle: Troy Donockley]

[Rival:]

Let’s make a deal

I’ll get you what you need

You know I am a brilliant chemist

I can duplicate your drug, but my offer has a price

If you want a new supply

You have to help me

[Prodigy:]

Count me in, I’ll do anything you want

But isn’t it ironic?

The fates must be laughing

Your greatest enemy

Is the one who holds the key

What do you need from me?

[Rival:]

I’ve found a way to infiltrate the banks

If you can break their algorithms

And bypass their systems

There’s millions to be made, and all without a trace

We can’t lose here

[Girl:]

This can’t be true

Now who’s being used?

Don’t let it end this way

It hurts me to tell you, you’re gonna have to choose

What you really wanna do

Don’t let me down!

[09. Fortune?]

"The Prodigy faces his own dilemma: Should he do something he knows is wrong - and even risk losing the Girl - to get the drug? The very drug that made his life possible? Hoping that the Girl will understand, he agrees to help the Rival."

[Rival:]

Our plan has succeeded

We are rich beyond belief

We got more than we ever needed

We’re free to live out our dream

[Girl:]

I won’t be part of this nightmare

I cannot live with what you’ve done

Get out of my life

[Prodigy:]

What have I done?

Now she’s gone…

What have I done?

Now she’s gone…
