KEY POINTS
• nævis and black mamba are twins, nævis is obviously the good twin and black mamba is the rebellious twin who wants to have everything just for herself
• nct and aespa (sm groups) are the only groups present in the world we're living in.
• æs only has limited time to visit the world, when they need to go back to FLAT, they will use the portal called POS
• æs are the same with their person counterpart, but not. they are created through their person counterpart's uploaded data, but they're actually a different being from their person counterpart
• while the æs and people in the world are peacefully living, the hacker group, ED, tried to hack the system of the world.
• ningning and one mysterious person (possibly jaehyun) stopped the spreading of ED's hacking plan. but ED already hacked one of the system, the digital museum.
• after ningning and that person's plan succeeded on stopping ED, the whole system got hacked by the Black Mamba and æ-Karina was being possessed by something (could be the Black Mamba) which makes Karina asked who she was (SMCU ep1)
• the æs got SYNKOUT of their counterpart, and they asked for help from nævis, they then concluded they need to ask for help from KOSMO people
• in order to go to KOSMO, they need to pass KWANGYA.
• that's when æs got so confused, since they don't know any ways on how to get to KWANGYA, nævis then told them that she can help them since she's the one who's opening the door from FLAT to KWANGYA
• as for aespa, NCT is helping them to travel from the WORLD to KWANGYA, since nct is the only group who travels through time, spaces and dimensions. that's why they're always connected with problem solving, computers and hacking, they are looking for a solution on how to travel to KWANGYA and KOSMO.
• the TREE OF LIFE is located in KWANGYA, that is one of the place where KOSMO people and people from the WORLD can communicate with each other.
• KOSMO is once expressed as similar as a "Moon"
• WayV once attempted to go to KOSMO (Take Off and Moonwalk) but they were locked in KWANGYA (Turn Back Time)
• while WayV were being locked in KWANGYA, the other NCT members went to KWANGYA through their space travelling system/portal (the elevator from resonance)
• NCT DREAM got on KWANGYA by force, since they failed to access the system of KWANGYA. to look for ways on how to got there, they instead travelled through spaces and ambushed KWANGYA-WORLD command center and they then reached KWANGYA.
• Since WayV were locked in KWANGYA, they were released by 127's hacking skills. they then resonated together (WayV, 127, DREAM and SUNGTARO) to go up to KOSMO. they successfully went to KOSMO through their dreams, but they needed to go there physically to communicate with the KOSMO people and ask for help to save the WORLD and KWANGYA from BLACK MAMBA.
• the video NCT 2020 : The Past & Future - Ether is when NCT travelled together to KOSMO through their dreams being resonated. the word 'Unconscious' was repeated multiple times to remind us that they are all in their dreams and is telling us that they're on their way to KOSMO.
• as for aespa, nct are still helping them on how can they go to KOSMO and talk to the beings and gods/goddesses there. that's why 127 are still hacking and coding something (Who is sticker?)
• 127 are still making a way on how can they go to KOSMO physically, that's why they're going back to their first plan, accessing each member's dream to manipulate some things and hopefully will make them (whole NCT) go to KOSMO (Who is sticker?)
• WayV looked for different way on how they can go to KOSMO until, they then found an unknown solution and KOSMO people let them in and even gave them their own KOSMO passport (tenyang lowlow)
• on 'Savage' aespa is now travelling and maybe is conquering KWANGYA already.
• we all know that KWANGYA is the place where everyone meets. it is also the place where the protagonists can feel their mightiness the most. they are the most powerful if they're on KWANGYA, they can control everything (time and space).
• from the line, "and making me drift apart from my ae" meant that aespa's aes are being locked/hacked by the Black Mamba, so aespa is feeling distant to their aes since they can't connect to them anymore.
• aespa talked to nævis and told her how they were thankful on helping and protecting them from the Black Mamba.
• the "resurrection" that aespa said to Nævis is when they already defeated the Black Mamba and everything already went well.
• at the last part of SAVAGE, Winter shoot the "eye figure" machine-like structure, which might represents one of Black Mamba's weaknesses that aespa are talking about the whole "Algorithm weakness"
• after shooting the "eye figure", aespa felt triumphant, but this might also mean that they're still fighting the Black Mamba and are looking for the other ways on how to completely defeat it.
