IntroStreet Monologue
IntroStreet Monologue is the opening cinematic of Soulbound: Online and the first beat of the tutorial opening loop. It is a scripted scene that plays automatically on IntroStreet, before the player is "uploaded" into the game world. The broadcast anchor Y News announces that Soulbound has opened while ambient citizens react to the Anima escaping into the streets.

Walkthrough
The broadcast
On first load the player stands on IntroStreet as Y News delivers an opening monologue announcing that Soulbound is open. The surrounding citizens — Iku, Lei, Maeve, Tao and Wes — react in the background to the Anima loose in the city. No input is required beyond letting the scene play; it flows directly into the SoulLink Store beat.
