Music video
The music video for "Reunion" has garnered a high number of individual views through online venues such as YouTube since its release. The video is a companion piece to the music video created for the previous single, "Midnight City", continuing the story of a group of children with various psychic abilities as they are pursued by their shadowy handlers in an attempt to recover them. The story is concluded with the video for the single "Wait".
The video starts with the telekinetic children on the top of an old warehouse where they tested their abilities in the music video for "Midnight City", after combining all of their powers to make the sun set. The youngest child starts glowing, and when the light coming from her gets bright enough, she dies. The scene cuts away to a room where the handlers are studying monitors, trying to track the rogue children. One psychic child who stayed behind is also in the room, sitting in a wheelchair behind the handlers and tethered to a machine with cables. Her eyes glow red-orange, with a hateful glare on her face, and it appears she was responsible for the glowing murder of the youngest rogue child, by using her power from afar. This enabled the government handlers to determine their location, like a beacon.
Back on the warehouse rooftop, one of the older female children comes to embrace the fallen child, but at the same time, agents of the handlers have closed in on their location and are driving towards them in an SUV. One of the boys, the leader, tries to get the older girl to leave the body of the dead girl behind, which she eventually, reluctantly does. The escaped children run down the street from the fast approaching agents, but reach a dead end.
