Listening to "Railway" again and noticed the line "we're staring at the ticket that says one trip."

It made me think of the bit in #Levanter where #BangChan, #Seungmin and #Han are in the elevator, Seungmin is holding the ticket "to new world," and the other two are looking at it.

So I had to go back to "Levanter" MV to check it out again. It is a one-way ticket. (Okay not exactly the same as one-trip but close enough.)

Is the "Railway" bit intended to be a subtle call-back to the "Levanter" elevator scene?

Contrasting trudging up the stairs on his own, versus taking the elevator (even if it's a shitty and dangerous elevator) with other members of the skz blue team.

Bang Chan does like to put subtle references and hints into his work, and doesn't like to explain them. I guess sometimes the references are deliberate?? And other times it's just coincidence.

No #skzRed team connected sequence in that same video as far as I can tell.

They come out of the elevator at the end in order, #skzBlue team followed by red team.

Apart from that, red team's parts in the song itself are not connected into a whole. Which is also consistent with #Levanter, where blue team seemed like a cohesive unit and red team was more scattered.

A part of me is tempted to go back to #Hellevator and watch all the videos in sequence again from the beginning. I know they've dropped lots of hints at the #skzLore from the beginning, without ever properly spelling it all out. Wondering how much more of it I could piece together now.

The algorithm knows how to keep me hooked.

I may have completed the #skzSignificantJewellery mission, but that just means I have more time to get obsessed by whatever's going on with #skzBlue team and #skzRed team

I just noticed that the blue team leads the whole elevator-based sequence of the "Stray Kids" song, calling back to how the elevator was their thing in #Levanter.

(Hey uh also it's two different elevators: an old-fashioned #MinSung elevator and a more modern #SeungChan elevator. Hmm.)

And just to fuck with my observations, some bits in #Levanter that don't fit as neatly into a #skzBlue team #skzRed team theory...

#Hyunjin, #I_N and #LeeKnow are walking down a road when Lee Know sees a bird flying overhead. He turns around and starts following it towards the elevator. #skzBirds #skzElevators

(This happens immediately after #BangChan, #Seungmin and #Han are in the elevator looking at their ticket to the new world. So my theory is: the bird is a messenger from them to Lee Know, bringing him towards them.)

Presumably Hyunjin and I.N also turn around to follow Lee Know until they end up at the elevator together.

Then the bird flies off overhead while the #skzRedMoon and #skzBlueMoon appear on either side of the elevator.

I'd like to suggest it's significant that the blue moon is higher than the red moon at this point. Because the blue team already has 3 of its 4 members together, but the red team is much more separated and only appears alone or as duos.

The red team's light seems like it's only just starting to stabilise, with #Felix alone holding his gyroscope with the small red light at the centre. #skzRedLighting

I can feel new hashtags gestating oh noooo

#skzBlue team in #Levanter

#BangChan #Seungmin and #Han are a unit. #LeeKnow's on his own but connected to them.

Seungmin has a ticket "to the new world" that they're looking at in the elevator

When the elevator burns, there is a #skzBlueMoon and a #skzRedMoon on either side of it. #skzElevators

The vibe is: trio has been together from the start, and Lee Know's on his own
