'GingaMingaYo (the strange world)' M/V

**the collective soul and unconscious** is one of two storylines that Billlie's lore explores. In this universe, the girls live in an urban area, and a long period of time has passed since Billlie Love's disappearance.

## Summary

### 'snowy night' vid teaser

The girls all huddle inside a cabin on a winter day. Thunder and lightning crash, a radio flickers through stations and plays static, and a strange sound occasionally screams, causing the girls to wince and get closer together. Suddenly, Suhyeon, Siyoon, and Haruna disappear. The remaining girls panic, with Sua and Sheon hiding under the covers of a bed and Tsuki and Haram running to and banging on the seemingly locked cabin door. Sua and Sheon disappear and Tsuki and Haram grow more desperate as the camera closes in on them. They turn to look at the camera and look terrified, before it pulls back to reveal they have been turned into two different rabbit plushies.

This is the introduction of a more nightmarish B-side - it's not only a helpful tool to find Billlie, but it can also be scary and unpleasant.

### 'snowy night' M/V

The M/V's opening frames repeat exactly from the teaser, but on this Christmas day, the sky is perfectly clear, the radio static and screaming noises are gone, and the girls are bored rather than scared. This is the A-side - the reasonable, logical reality.

Sheon picks up a moon snow globe within the cabin. The members gather to inspect the snow globe, look at the cabin door, and decide to leave.

Suddenly, the members are on a blimp, flying past stars and planets. Their outfits are changed and their makeup more fantastical and sparkly; they have entered the B-side world, but a pleasant version - a kind of collective unconscious.

They see the moon from the snow globe and land on it. They find boxes filled with treasures, each of which are a reference to different theories and media pertaining to dreams and unconscious thought - most recognizably, a top that never falls, as seen in the movie *Inception.*

The group follows a flock of butterflies to a forest filled with fantastical plants and mushrooms. As they explore, Tsuki and Haram stray to the fringes of the group and are pulled away by a white furry paw.

Tsuki and Haram sit in a cage in some sort of cave. Tsuki writes on the wall, insinuating they've been there for some time, when Haram taps her, indicating that the cave outside is empty. They slide the lock open and attempt to escape when they're confronted by The SNOWY Man. They're put back in the cage, but they're now part rabbit, with ears and tails. Tsuki and Haram are put to work helping the SNOWY Man make snow. When they get thirsty, he gives them a blue juice to drink, which makes them friendly toward the SNOWY Man and happy to help him.

Meanwhile, the remaining members notice their disappearance and split up to find them. Sua, Suhyeon, and Haruna spot a butterfly from the forest and grab it as it turns into a key. Siyoon and Sheon find a bell and instructions to hypnotize the SNOWY Man. They arrive at the cave, ring the bell to put the SNOWY Man to sleep, and use the key to unlock the cage. During their escape, Tsuki trips and wakes up the SNOWY Man, and they all run through all the past scenery to the blimp. We see the SNOWY Man left behind on the moon in the snow globe as each of the girls in the cabin wake up from a seemingly accidental nap. They have returned from the B-side, the land of dreams, and they're back to the A-side of reality.

Tsuki walks to the mirror as the radio noise from the B-side starts to leak in again, and she sees herself with two rabbit ears still sprouting from her head - remnants of the B-side that stayed behind in her unconscious.

### what is your B?

We begin with a view of the attic, but a slightly different attic than the one shown in the Billage of perception. Everything shown - Billlie Love's journal, the restaurant, the school - is a slight variation on those seen in Bi11lie chapters 1 and 2. the collective soul and unconscious isn't the same universe as the Billage of perception, but it's very close; another universe in the multiverse.

The girls are each alone - Haram sits in a classroom doing work, and Haruna, Tsuki, and Sheon look around a shop during the day; Siyoon sits alone in her bedroom, Suhyeon plays games on her phone at her diner job, and Moon Sua rides a motorcycle to the diner at night. When each of them encounter each other, they don't acknowledge it; it's as if they don't know each other. Each of them hear Sheon's voice whispering in their ears, saying something about remembering and asking them if they forgot.

Sheon puts a coin with a B on it into a fortune machine, and receives a card emblazoned with a B and a picture of the Dreamvader. Suddenly, she remembers - the attic, filled with all seven of them laughing and playing together.

Suhyeon's phone shows her an "invitation" - the same B card - and Sua finds one in vending machine where her soda should be. Tsuki finds one in the shop, and instead of the photo booth printing Haruna's photo, it prints her B card. Haram finds card after card in the book she's reading, and a B card appears inside Siyoon's VCR. Each member, inside and outside, experiences a sudden purple rain.

Sheon's narration tells them: "It’s you who made Billlie disappear. You erased her, you abandoned her." The girls left Billlie behind in the attic. They forced themselves to forget Billlie and forget each other, and now that they remember, they realize it's not too late and they need to go and find Billlie.

At the very end, we see Billlie's memory box from the attic. An unknown hand opens it, removes a Joker Dreamvader card, and closes it again.

### 'GingaMingaYo (the strange world)' M/V

The music video picks up directly from 'what is your B?' as each member falls into an alternate world - the B-side world, which this time manifests as a hotel. As the various members arrive, they group up and run to find clues about Billlie.

Strange and uncanny things continue to happen to each member as they explore, and the A-side and B-side continue to blend, with Suhyeon receiving a call from "B" in the A-side, and the gumball machine beside Tsuki in the A-side inspiring floating gumballs in the B-side. After encountering the Baseball Man, a creature with a floating baseball as a head, the group returns to the main lobby, where a lone typewriter sits on a desk. As Sheon types "what are you?", the group looks up to see the Dreamvader.
