Question about music theory

Hi there,

today i checked the notes of the track "heathens by twenty on pilots". While at it i became aware of how little i know about modulation.

I want to understand the incorporation of these 2 notes and hope someone can explain to me how it works.

By the way here is the video with the notes:
