    I really love the "Eternally" MV. And I would kill a man for Yeonjun's "make noise not money" sweater ngl. Thank you for the reaction :D
    I don't know the translations of everything on the glass, but a few of the important ones are "don't go up the stairs," which, notably, multiple members do in this video, and "remember my name."
    Okay, so...since you _did_ ask, I'll try and give a brief overview of what I think is going on in "Eternally." This is just my idea, though; there's lot of theories. Please don't feel obligated to read it or agree with it.
    As a reminder, in _The Star Seekers_ (name of the storyline), we know that TXT are in a fictional band called Star One, and magic is a real thing. So is the multiverse.
    For Soobin's part, his character is confirmed to have prophetic dreams, so it makes total sense as to why he would be having weird dreams--but his dream is of the _past,_ which is confirmed by the fact that there's the debut date (3.04) on a poster, and that we see baby Kai (with the ice cream). Whatever this dream means to Soobin, we don't know, but it clearly upsets him, and he's comforted by the ghost. This is the "practice room ghost" that the boys were texting about in "Magic Island" MV. It _seems_ like the ghost--who looks feminine but is supposed to be a representation of all MOA, so I use they/them for them--is a force for good. The magical die that Soobin picks up has powers that are yet unconfirmed in any of the TSS-related media, but many think it has something to do with portals, possibly into other universes/timelines.
    For Yeonjun's part, Yeonjun finds himself in the remnants of one of the bad timelines where Star One failed to stop the apocalypse. The Cat appears to him and offers him power to avert the catastrophe. _If_ we assume that the MVs line up with their webtoon, the Cat phrases this as "unlocking Yeonjun's potential a little early" rather than giving him power he never should have had in the first place--but, the unfortunate thing is that the Cat also now seems to be connected to Yeonjun, and through Yeonjun, to all of the members and their magical powers. I think this is cute because it means all the members are super close, like platonic soulmates, but also horrifying, because I don't trust the Cat at all. I'm not convinced it's pure evil, but it's definitely not _good._
    Beomgyu's part is one that, up until recently, I thought was the most painful. My original thoughts on this were that somehow, the magical book that Beomgyu holds in this section (which Soobin also picks up at the beginning and tries to give to Yeonjun before seeing his injuries and waking up) somehow causes a schism in the group where Beomgyu believes something different to at least one of the members. Since the person he's "facing" inside the room looks to be wearing the same kind of uniform, people originally thought it was one of the members (I thought it was Kai). However, recent updates in the webtoon have revealed: 1. the book belongs to Taehyun's character; 2. the book was stolen from the members by an antagonist, not one of the members; 3. Beomgyu was the one to realize the book had been stolen, not lost, and got himself badly injured in the process of trying to get it back. So the, "which side do I need to trust?" comment, as well as this whole conflict, are about Beomgyu's thoughts on two major forces of power in their world, not about which of his friends' ideologies he falls in line with. For the most part in the webtoon, Star One/TXT are very firmly on each others' sides against the world.
    Taehyun's part is clarified a little by the animated video _The Doom's Night_. What Taehyun sees is another reflection of a bad ending, wherein the price for the power that Yeonjun got from the Cat came back to bite them all in the ass. However, I've also seen a theory going around that Beomgyu might be involved here somehow--since Beomgyu's magic is plant-related, and Yeonjun is decked out in dead or dying plants, some people think Beomgyu might have been the one to kill him, and others (+me) think that Beomgyu may have burnt _himself_ out trying to bring Yeonjun back. However, it's also possible that whatever happened here isn't directly the Cat's fault. In this world, an overuse of magic results in what the webtoon calls "causality" taking effect. It's like Newton's Third Law but for magic--for every amount of magic expended, there is pushback from the universe, so if you use too much magic, you can end up hurting yourself. Since Yeonjun's throat is slit, and his causality relates to his throat/neck, it's possible that Yeonjun simply burned himself out trying to stop the apocalypse (and possibly, again, Beomgyu did the same thing trying to save him). The Cat might then be indirectly responsible since it awakened Yeonjun's powers, but not directly. I'm not married to one of these ideas over the other--one piece of media implies it's definitely the Cat's fault, while the other is much more ambiguous about the whole thing.
    Huening Kai's part still makes approximately 0 sense to me, but here's my best guesswork on it. At the beginning of the video, we see writing on the windows which I personally assume is all from the ghost/MOA, meaning the messages have Star One/TXT's best interests at heart. If that's true, then the warning, "don't go up the stairs," should have been heeded, meaning that despite the angelic, victorious vocals over his part, _everything_ that Kai does in his section is fucked from the beginning because he climbed up the stairs to get there. I have the distinct impression that something is trying to tempt Kai away from reality using the promise of his friends' safety.
    Other stuff: Some of my impressions from this video support the theory that Star One/TXT can only achieve a happy ending if they work perfectly in harmony. If they stay separated and keep secrets, they're doomed to fail. It seems like, so far, Soobin is the person with the strongest connection to the ghost/MOA, but Huening Kai also sees them briefly, reflected in the elevator doors. Beomgyu's obsession with recording things while Taehyun seems to be listening to music for most of the MV is interesting to me because it's not what I would have expected. Usually, Taehyun is the one who "sees" (causality in his eye, eagle eyes in SRR, spyglass in "Nap of a Star," etc) while Soobin is the one who "listens" (causality in his ears, gramophone in NoaS, hearing the distortions in "Magic Island," etc), but now Beomgyu is seeing and Taehyun is listening.

      Oh my god, thank you so much. I love the details you put in here. I really should start to read the novel because it seems to drastically help understanding their MVs.

      @@schneeling I keep thinking I should make a TXT lore video, but I don't have the editing skills to do it lmao so I'll just keep leaving long comments on videos XD Also, I'm reading the webtoon, not the novel, and from what I know, the two are slightly different interpretations of the same story. So if you read the novel, you might end up thinking something totally different :D which is kind of fun tbh.

      @@RisuAlto I AM BACK! Okay you definitely helped me quite a bit with insanely detailed storyline! I really appreciate the breakout of each members part in the MV and their magical powers. I honestly felt like I was missing so much! I will be checking out the webtoon when I get the time and can't wait to continue on in their storyline. Hopefully, soon I can start picking up these things on my own!
