TW: I'm sure if you're reading this, you've probably seen the MV. Please note that there may be images that are disturbing to some people, including things with blood and implied death. All translations either done by me through Google Translate or are from @txtonnews on Twitter! <3 EDIT: BIG HIT ADDED SUBS TO ETERNALLY!!!!!!!!11!1 The subs are now Big Hit's translations. Thank you, Big Hit ;-; SECTION SEVEN - Beginning of the End last one you guys we're almost there c'mon- I'm going to kill that stupid fire alarm. The amount of times I've listened to it while writing this analysis is an amount a human being should never have to go through. If I ever hear a fire alarm in my life again, it will be too soon. With that out of the way, we come out in the practice room. Again. With the fire alarm. The boys are just glancing around the room, startled. Nobody seems to be...doing anything though. They're all just staring. (Well, Beomgyu is filming.) The water bottle falls off of the table and the lights go dark. (We also hear that big crash again, meaning it must be connected somehow to the lights going out.) Not even one second later, the lights come back on. Beomgyu is still filming. Taehyun is looking at the window in the back, which is lit up red. Yeonjun and Kai just look confused. And Soobin...is nowhere to be found. (Fig. 7.1) Fig. 7.1 - Where did Soobin go? The clock starts to tick again, and we get a shot from outside in the corridor. Soobin pushes open the door of the practice room and walks inside. (Um, NOTE: The door was closed? They didn't show Soobin [or Hyuka, for that matter] opening the door or going into that tunnel thing, so if you watched only part 7, it would appear that Soobin just materialized from one room to the next without opening the door. Could be meaningful, could just be a continuity error. We'll never know, I guess.) None of the others seem surprised that he left and came back. Soobin motions over his shoulder, probably saying how it was a "false alarm" or a storm or something. Taehyun and Yeonjun seem to ignore him. Kai sort of shrugs and goes back to what he was doing. Beomgyu nods and continues...to film Soobin... Why? Why is this boy filming everything? And why Soobin? Either way, the boys seem to have supposedly forgotten the whole seventeen minutes and forty eight seconds of footage we've been through. But all is not in vain, as Soobin still looks a little freaked out. As the other four go back to what they had been doing previously, Soobin slowly walks in front of the mirror. (Fig. 7.2) He looks a little surprised as to the fact that everyone accepted his explanation so easily. Fig. 7.2 - Well, y'all sure got comfy again fast. Even if they hadn't seen those dream-things, wouldn't you still be freaked out by the lights blinking like that? As Soobin makes his way over to the mirror, the camera cuts to Beomgyu. Beomgyu, initially, is filming Yeonkai, who just seem to be talking and having a normal conversation. When he notices Soobin, however, he turns back to filming him. Soobin, (I'm guessing) not knowing Beomgyu is filming him, opens his hand to reveal the die from his memory. The die flickers a few times, as if it's trying to make one of those magic circles, but it can't. Cut back a second. Listen. Do you hear that? The die makes a weird noise. Beomgyu heard it. (Fig. 7.3) Fig. 7.3 - How can Beomgyu hear it? Beomgyu reacts to the sound of the die, when he points the camera at Soobin. (By the way, the lens on his camera is back to normal--no more night vision!) Soobin stares at himself in the mirror for a moment, before Big Hit attempts to jumpscare us with the glitch noise from Eternally. The final verses play over the end dialogue, which I'll post translations of here. But everyone has gone back to normal...as if they hadn't budged from the beginning of the video. (NOTE: See the window? It looks more orange now. Is there a fire?) (see Fig. 7.2)
"In the blink of an eye, the boys felt [as if] they [had] returned from a long journey. In fear, the boys asked, 'was it all nothing more than a dream?' The boys did not know that this was but the start of the chaotic turmoil." The words on the mirror at the end read, "remember my name." This isn't the first time we've been told to "remember a name," we also know that from the end of Magic Island, where we were told that the boys heard a voice that said "remember my name." I think Soobin is the only one that can see the messages on the mirror, as I think that's what he was staring at at the end of the video.
