Brief "#" teaser observation recap 🔥🔍
Yeah, you can make a # with four plus signs
But you can do it with two as well
Fancy!
The two rotating x's collapse to form one #.

First this teaser didn't have the #LOONA moon intro, but it does say [Teaser] in the title

Butterflies: The 1st and 2nd butterfly drawings look about the same

The 3rd and 4th butterfly drawings look about the same to one another, but are different from the 1st and 2nd

++ over Go Won as she takes off her jacket
xx on Go Won afterwards
++ with a butterfly? Interesting - in a now-empty street from Butterfly where one of the LOONAs ran through (or was it before?)

We zoom deep into this girl, from one of the "LOONAs around the world"
Going deeper, there's a Butterfly within her, as there is for "all LOONAs around the world"- that was the message of <Butterfly>

We go deeper
Inside: footage of the girl seeing the skyline
* This tape effect / distortion near the bottom that we all know by now is used a lot in the teaser
She turns around but her eye is blocked by a fluctuating black rectangle, which then shows XX and ++, in that order.

The same scene in high-res: the rectangle stops moving, and as she looks away it disappears, so it's 100% designed to block her eye(s).
The camera seems to lose stability and looks downwards (on the way we see her "XX long time no see" shirt and her checkered shoes)

- This teaser uses this for abrupt cuts, I think that's a new one.
- Burning butterfly, and a circular inset showing ++ and XX being burned too, which soon becomes emphasized
The burning footage looks old; it's in 4:3 aspect ratio

- Cut to XIIX Go Won: is this before or after she reached the plane? I'm inclined to think the former. It is, however, after she removed the jacket.
- Identically dressed LOONAs from Butterfly climbing up stairs
- (old footage of these LOONAs)

Suddenly they're on the ground here with the scene turning red - a few other scene-turning-red instances have been shown from Egoist and XIIIX (feat. Olivia Hye)

- One of the LOONAs around the world looking up w/ a green/black butterfly (is it color-shifted?)
- Then Chuu from XIVX and Oliiva Hye from XIIIX walking by the dancer and turns to look at her afterwards (thought to "be" Yves in XIIIX)
- Is Olivia Hye not wearing a collar here?

One of the LOONAs acting as Jinsoul; fish in plastic bag; grid of fish tanks
At this point you can hear a click, sounds like a single tick of a clock (?)

- Continued burning (4:3 aspect ratio)
- XIIIX Olivia Hye in the spiral staircase, with her collar ON
- XIIX Go Won with her jacket ON

- From what seems to be burning, glowing butterflies emerge; you can hear another tick of a clock(?), then the sound falls apart as it cuts to this pattern again into silence
- Seeing the coast (nearest to XIIX), BURN in burgundy, written in the same font as XIVX, + the song
