The first take was arbitrarily inserted by fans at the beginning of OPUS's demo or mixed into the opening of Riot, so even I don't know which one is the official version. However, this is believed to be the genuine, standalone version created. The latter was posted to a short video platform, and I intend to repost it here while deleting the short. The latter is likely something no one owns—probably a take secretly pulled during recording and leaked by someone involved. Check out his channel here!
