Soooo, let's analyze the MV yall🤓
I want to connect this one to Blue Valentine (I have a previous discussion about my theory on BV hehe).
So based on my previous discussion, Jiwoo is the only one who survives among the girls in outer space. Crescendo shows us what happened to everyone. One thing that we can easily notice is Jiwoo stuck in this glass box. Why? There are 3 possibilities:
1) Jiwoo is trapped in a dream. Towards the end of the mv, we see her opening her eyes. Perhaps she's in hypersleep and dreams of all them together. It's honestly a beautiful dream. The girls' spirits are helping her wake up. Hence, the tug-of-war scene. Another reason why I believe it's a dream is because of the lyrics "deep in shallow." It's a contradictory phrase, similar to the unreal mechanics of dreams.
2) The girls learned to "change-up." Maybe that's why the intro to the changeup was a series of hums, instead of actually saying "nmixx change-up." All the girls except Jiwoo have gained supernatural powers. Perhaps by wondering in space. Maybe they all wandered together unto some random planet, and they mutated.
3) Jiwoo is stuck with some alien parallel versions of the other girls. They help her heal and remember to get it all together. That's why they are all on one side of the tug-of-war. But this one seems least likely.
I believe mostly in no. 1. It makes more sense in my opinion. What are we gonna see in Heavy Serenade? Jiwoo is going to save the girls or revive them. The lyrics lean heavily towards this guess.
That is all I could say. It's really hard to theorize rn because the song has caught me under its spell! I love the change-up, the chorus, basically everything.

jiwoo called that scene the CPR room, and described her poses as sleepwalking in the behind the scenes video they released today. not sure if that adds/helps at all

I think the MMU crashed into Mixtopia due to Monopole or an agent from Monopole that snuck onboard and was causing havoc on the ship earlier.
I think Jiwoo was hurt in the crash and was in the medical bay of the ship. I think maybe Haewon was trapped in the crashed ship as well.
Without focusing on NMIXX. (Almost wrote Jiwoo focus… Ja Show Me the Rap Mixx is still anchored in my head).
How MIXXTOPIA is seen in O.O and other MV like DASH (bright, colourful and flourished) and in Crescendo (kinda desolate).
doesn’t jiwoo “wake up” at the end of blue valentine too (woken up in the middle of the road after dreaming haewon) and also in the short movie for Stick out (outsider club) inside the lugguage (woken up by sollyoon afer dreaming of her as the black sheep in a pretty similar environment as the one in crescendo)
