The fact Cyn not only disguised herself as Tessa but is literally wearing her skin makes it all the more sad (and also terrifying) ! I can't imagine how N's feeling right now with everything that just happened in the span of few hours.

CYN's relationship with N turned out to be the most cruel in the series since she took away everything from N from his past, his world and people that cared about him, every interaction with him is laced with lies, cruelty and manipulation. And N was betrayed and reduced to a killing machine who was only kept around as a useful idiot by someone who turned to be an inescapable monster.

[@williamthompson1109]

I think it’s more that whatever of Cyn remains is keeping him alive. Either Cyn is still active in some way and keeps him alive, or her personality rubbed off on the AS system enough to keep him around

[@Amnesiac122]

Just gotta point out that you say that J is mean towards Tessa, while in the episode we see the exact opposite, with Tessa being the only person she's nice towards

[@vothbetilia4862]

I was confused about that too, J is specifically mean to N in particular, but J is like a comfort drone to Tessa, plus you can see them together as a dynamic duo.

[@Hazarid367]

Tessa doesn't needing problems with J because if J know Tessa is Cyn she will kill her. By the way V will back with Khan with N because N will be alone.

Tessa seems to be J’s favorite person while J seems to be the drone Tessa trusts the most. N is her favorite in the way a kid might have a favorite toy or stuffed animal while J is more like a friend to her.

I think she sees him more like a little brother to dote on, hence why she was so excited and happy to see him. Not surprising since he acts like a puppy.

N felt that Tessa was acting strange in episode 6. Tessa and N were very close during the happy days before Father like Absolute Solver ruined their lives and everyone they knew in the end.

[@quickfeather]

It also kills me that the last scene where Uzi pushes N away before she's pulled into the hole shows N was fully ready to fly over to her and save her too, but she really said "No. Get to a safe spot." and pushes him

[@globbyakaweirdjellyguy954]

N staggering and resting on his sword after decapitating “Tessa” definitely showed how shook he was to do that.🥺 I guess he’d be a mix of relived and horrified to know Tessa’s been dead for a while instead of being the one to take her life.😥 Also, Cyn seemed to want to eat N after she couldn’t control him anymore since Uzi became the admin for his system, so it’s pretty cold that once she couldn’t get what she wanted, she’d just consume him knowing there were plenty more copies where that comes from.😳😥

[@Hazarid367]

Remember episode 5 ERROR 606 Is yellow it's collor Cyn, it is mean that Uzi can same control with some robots but she can't because patch is made by Cyn that's why Doll in episode 3 sayed i will help you later, i guess that Patch it is Antivirus.

Cyn probably keept her blood warm in the siut somehow so that the blood dosent dry up or become cold and as for the bones...pherhaps she hollowed out tessas skin, went inside it like a siute, and has a ability to keep the blood warm and runing/filled in the siut with blood and for last. the bones inside the siut aswell for extra reality 😢 very gruesome (she basically tore every organ out of tessa and used em as simple parts exept for tessas brain and other tissue)

[@Kurzidan]

I'd want to point a correction, Cyn is not the only "improperly" disposed bot All of Tessa's Bots are "Improperly Disposed" - They all have yellow armbands that mark them for Disassembly, yet their hardware hasn't been turned into a pile of scrap... that's why Tessa's mom refers to them all as her "dumpster pets" plural. and like the episode prior that, The presumed father saying they have to curb her trips to the dump while looking at N, then equally wondering where she gets the hair to play dressup with them, and that its creepy. At the very least. N J And V (and Cyn) all have what looks like Marked for Disassembly armbands. and are highly implied taken from the dump, There presumed to be more of them that "broke" and are clogging up the library, but they're really just under Cyn's control, Which makes Cyn's defense of "They're not broken and cannot be thrown out anymore" 100% fact... They're just working to a different "correct" as according to Cyn/Solver. I also disagree with both Cyn and you on the dynamics of imprinting... She DOESN'T inherit an "affection" for all the drones from Tessa. She DOESN'T even really copy over their personalities EXACT (to themselves each copy).. She literally STOLE V's personality for herself. - N and V had chemistry in ep2. V was Sheepish and gentle, shy. - In Ep5 - V is "broken" and Cyn literally "SHEEPISH NOD"'s her way to the Gala with N. - She literally tried to take V's place. That's part of why some People theorize the whole "Cyn affection to N" not just "Big brother" Or "Romantic ship" but that Cyn for some unknown reason is trying to flirt with N and literally takes things he "Might've liked about V" and incorporated it into herself. Same with Tessa. who She can't easily error or get rid of without alarm. She also incorporates bits from How Tessa Appears, and maybe acts, Cause N shows a strong enough bond towards her. She has no Respect for J, and J has no affection shown towards N. She literally leaves J as she is. Fast forward to the Murder drone versions of them. J is still J N is still N V is Psychopathic and unhinged. She literally says "And yet I still feel nothing" and things like "Yeah, I'm not okay" - She's COMPLETELY devoid of her shy sheepish personality from Episode 2 She JUST so happened to be the one that N showed Affection towards and vice versa. And JUST so happens to be the only one who has a completely different personality? - Oh yeah she still has the ability to foster some kinda attachment and reserve for N, J, Uzi, and others who grow to earn that. but she is NOT like she used to be. Meanwhile N is almost ENTIRELY who he used to be, Minus the Murder drone tendencies that seem layered ontop of it. J. Also. Like I said. She's just J. Snobbish, Meaner / callous towards N, just because. Ep2 worker J is just like ep5 worker J is just like ep 1 5 and 6 Murder/Disassembly J... and arguably 7 but there wasn't a lot of her there. Solver Cynessa Might say she keeps their personalities around, cause she likes how they surprise or something but thats a fucking lie. Like I said. V 's current personality is at best a empty shell of what it used to be in Episode 2, Which wasn't shown as much, but it was still shown a complete 180 from current. And we couldn't see it in the bigger episde of their past, cause she was the first that got removed from the trio. it looks WAY more like. Cyn kept N's personality around. Cause she likes how HE is. and how he reacts to things. - TesCYN is literally only affectionate towards N in Episode 6, Ordering J around like a servant, Large disregard for V, and full playful with N - As I've pointed from the combing over of episode 6, she literally gets princess carried by him after swan diving into the hole, and while carried, she's pawing at his hair. For some reason. She wants N despite this Seemingly extra-entity Solver, hiveminding it up.

[@hazakurasuyama9016]

So basically cyn is a yandere

[@AceJackWagon885]

She said "We can no longer be thrown out now", why wouldn't she also refer to herself? She just played more timid V emulated J to keep at least some of her memory, if she was truly a psychopath she wouldn't have kept secrets from N in order to protect him, & she acts a lot differently in episode 6 than in episode 1, to the point that she is actually shown CARING for Uzi. It's not, you can clearly see N, V, & J still have their personalities by episode 6.

[@ukaszgrzesik7231]

That is interesting take, thanks for sharing it!

[@Kurzidan]

​@@AceJackWagon885 ​ I don't see what the first line intends to point out...? clarifying Cyn's inclusion there doesn't serve the point. its presumed since she's the mastermind that she's included, For THAT part. but that doesn't serve the point The point is, in this video. Dronecut says "Tessa isn't aware Cyn was improperly disposed of" The point is. yes. Tessa is aware. All of Tessa's drones are implied to be improperly disposed. With at the very least. N V and J, as well as Cyn. seeming to HEAVILY be implied as such. Proper disposal. according to the Zombie drone (A very old ) tape Step 1. Software cleanup (Software death) Step 2 HARDWARE cleanup... First - you verify they match the armband. Which. N, V, and J, as well as Cyn, can all be seen with a yellow armband, which the tape shows is the color and caution for marked for disassembly. You can see these easily in episode 2 as Cyn is introduced. They all very clearly have the armband. Then you proceed to step 1 - Injecting them them "FUN" (wdOS_606) "FUN" can be interrupted or rejected immediately, or for up to 5 years. "incompletely disassembled drones can reboot from software death alone" (This (software death) is fun for them) Step 2 - Disconnect the AI core Process the drone (1) core (1) through disassembly unit - i.e Separately disassemble both drone body and core Affirm FUN (Technician is supposed to have fun essentially MULCHING the core and drone body, They appear as a pile of parts afterwards.) Any drone that is remotely intact in the dump. Is improperly disposed of. Tessa's Father " we got to curb her trips to the dump " (Trips, plural) "And where is she getting the hair to play dress up with them? Creepy..." (Them, plural, Hair, N, J, V, Cyn, and maybe others. Tessa's "dumpster pets") This is before Cyn is introduced to them, too - So its not Cyn's influence allowing for Hair. That is the point I started off with. The correction I wanted to add. That Its not Just Cyn. Its implied to be all four of them, at the very least. and Potentially implied to be all of Tessa's drones. That she just, rescues them all from the dump where people improperly disposed of them, giving them a second chance. This part. Is also why i don't think Solver is a "Hazardous mutation" - The tape is Old. This is based off the companies OLD understanding, even before Cyn is added to the equation. I could argue maybe thats what happens with V. A mutation of her personality turning her extremely hazardous as compared before. But not Cyn. Cyn looks to get contacted shortly after that zombie drone video. a conversation takes place, not like showing us her code running and morphing, But something speaks to her and asks for access to be granted. That doesn't sound like mutation of the AI core after rebooting from software death. - that sounds like an outside entity, that integrates with Cyn, A symbiotic host situation that causes physical mutations, corrupting the code afterwards. Moving on. V..

[@Kurzidan]

@@AceJackWagon885 V does not act like J unless she's cranked up from 5 to 20, which is to say Nothing like J. J has never shown anything that looks similar to how V acted at the Prom the "Yeaah.. BEST friends. So easily manipulated" and later mental gymnastic to rationalize accepting the prom queen and THEN killing them. - She had no need to "hide" herself here. and yet its still nothing like her personality in episode 2, or what itty bitty bit peeked out in ep5 memories. While feeding the drones entrails to him, from him, while he was still active, pleading not to do it. ".. and yet... I still feel nothing" When N said she kinda sucked (wow) V responds "Yeah. I'm not doing okay"

[@elephantman6117]

Sooooo, I just rewatched episode 5 after seeing this, and because I did that, I think I know have an explanation to why "Cyn" is doing this, and not caring what happens to the drones she quote en quote, "loves". That is because.......the main antagonist was never Cyn to begin with. It was always the Absolute Solver. The real Cyn died before the series even began, and the Cyn that we see now is a huge imposter. Don't you get it? What the solver is doing right now to Tessa, is what it was doing to Cyn in the very beginning when it woke her up in that junkyard: using her physical body as a puppet, to do as it pleases. That's why "cyn" doesn't feel bad about doing any of this! It was never her actually! She technically never even met N at any point in her original life before she got improperly killed! N's attempted friendship and genuine kindness meant nothing to it. It just wanted to feed! And only feed! Using human abuse as a convenient excuse to unleash its ungodly horrors! It just makes you wonder really about what exactly cyn's first life was like and how she died. We will probably NEVER get an answer to that since it's not really the point of the story, but dang it! It's such an interesting mystery, it just really makes you wonder.

When Cyn takes over Uzi after she destroys the cross USB she tells N "Don't worry your backups will forgive me" Implying that she can recreate N,V and J as many times as she desires, the real question is can their be multiple of any drone at a time aka could we see two Ns for example

[@dragonmaster0851]

To add another layer of messed up, Cyn could’ve just used any other corpse in the mansion as a skin suit and still get into the labs, but she specifically choose Tessa for this task (also note that she said she wouldn’t discard Tessa in episode 4). This wasn’t just a random decision, she did this to mentally break N and emotionally manipulate him even more since Tessa was the only human nice to him, and just distorting her corpse after grafting it onto her own body is even more disgusting after what he just went through (though if she did appear as anyone else it might raise even more suspicion).

[@chan_4493]

I feel like Ns feelings are more complicated than we think. I feel like N is in a conflict with who he loves because of his program.

[@youtubeisapublisher6407]

Cyn isn't just wearing Tessa's face and one of her hands, she's "wearing" Tessa's whole body. In the torn area of her chest you can see the drone chestplate underneath is actually a custom one. Cyn built or grew herself a unique body for the specific purpose of taking Tessa's identity by stealing her whole body.

[@emeraldlili]

I believe Tessa lived for some time after the Gala massacre. The skin Cyn is wearing seems too fresh, and in the photo taken right after the gala, Tessa is in a "shadow form" while "Cynessa" is not. And someone would probably notice that Tessa looks weird if she died at the gala and her skin would be taken over by Cyn. I think Tessa survived the massacre at the gala, lived for a while, and only shortly before leaving for Cooper 9 was she killed and her skin taken over by Cyn. Even J (unless she works directly with Cyn) says that Cyn escaped, so that means she was held captive for a while. I think Cyn escaped, killed Tessa, and flew off with J to Cooper 9, destroying the Earth in her wake

Chilling stuff with human skin being used as a disguise, especially with the massive lack of living humans in this show

[@MiguelDCristo]

If someone ever asked me to describe Cyn's nature, I'd say it in three words: monstrous, cunning and obssessive. Cyn might be one of the few antagonists that I genuinely found myself hating for how she manipulates the feelings those under her control. As said, she could've made all Disassembly Drones mindless killing machines but, because of N, she realized it would be more interesting if they maintained their personalities. "Interest", that's her motivation. Its because of these emotions that the drones developed that they become unpredictable, out of her control, and she finds it interesting, more FUN. A twisted mentality she learned from humans because she couldn't look over the surface, over the dark side of humans, to understand true human emotion and tenderness.

[@ZAYBUNY101]

Dronecut never fails me to say: "WHAT!?" and "OHHHHH.."

[@SolverEdits]

I personally think the absolute solver is able to produce the skin that Cyn has because we have seen it create biological life before in episode 4. I also think that when the fake Tessa scanned her finger to prove she was human that her hand was created by the solver. I think that because if it was Tessa’s hand then it would have been the same black silhouette but it wasn’t. If you really think about it then we know the solver can create hands like the one that grabbed Thad in episode 2. All together I think the solver created the skin, hand, and blood that was used by Cyn in episode 7.

[@aetheriox463]

tessa was in shadow in the flashbacks because all humans were, its not how humans look in this universe, its just how they were in the flash backs. yes, the solver can create humanoid hands, but its unlikely for the ones cyn was wearing to not be tessa's because its connected directly to human arms, as opposed to whatever they were connected to with the solver by default the solver can create organic matter, but outside of hands it hasnt been shown to create skin, only a meat-like material. and, for all of the people for cyn to make, why did she take after tessa's skin, if it isnt actually her skin?

I had hoped that young Tessa wasn't dead but I had little hope after Uzi saw that figure that looked like Tessa in episode 4.

I like imp/drone/etc.cut's optimism towards a season 2 existing. Yeah, I know they didn't say it isn't happening, but they've generally been vague about episode 8's finality. Plus so much is happening in these last few episodes, it really feels like the show might end. But hey, no reason to worry about that. Even if it only gets 8 episodes, it's still an amazing show.

[@EvaShogouki01]

The way cyn reacts towards N it's clear that she's sorta infatuated with him maybe not in a lover way but it's clear she is fascinated truly by his OS and compassion enough that I think cyn is twisting more towards being like a jilted lover who watches everyone dot and love on N where she though the absolute solver and with no need to have emotional attachments is jealous, I could tell when Cyn grabbed N the way she was talking had a cryptic message. You know why I keep you around, in her words and the ones where she dragged N means that she doesn't want anyone to have N and eating him would make him apart of her , jeez a yandere cannibal that is a hell of a thing, Tessa too there is something else that bugs me, we know she's dead long dead but could it be possible that cyn to make it much more horrible used N to kill Tessa and we just don't see it in Ns memories because it was completely wiped , Cyn is beyond twisted so i wouldnt put it past her as she already used the drones to attack,kill and eat humans...

Note that I'm probably wrong: I think I'm really wrong about this! it was probably was Cyn hair and it just looks like Tessa hair Did you ever notice that cyn hair change when the flash of the thunder comes I noticed it a couple hours before ep 7 come out and then realize that we all missed that little detail Edit: I don't think this was supposed to look like Tessa's hair but at the same time it looks too much like Tessa hair, the way that Cyn has Tessa skin and hair on her at the end of ep 7 I went be surprised if this was on purpose

[@Benjamin-mj9pd]

I don’t think that many girls like N that way dude. He is possibly an actual big brother figure to Cyn but Cyn keeps replicating N again and again along with his team because it’s a pragmatic solution that keeps working. Cyn probably altered V because V was soft. As for Tessa she treats N like a girl treats a pet. Excited to see him because he is just a sweetheart. V and Uzi are the ones with crushes. V because of who she was before the drama at the mansion and Uzi because he was genuinely a good friend to her. She was a good friend back then things started escalating.

Ok crazy theory, but not impossible The planet we saw at the end wasn't Copper 9, but a previously destroyed planet that Uzi got teleported to I say this cause if she was close to the explosion she'd likely be dead or heavily damaged

[@aetheriox463]

its probably the other side of the planet, weve only seen copper 9 from the "front", but it seemed like the explosion caused by the core collapse was on the "back". also, we dont know if there was a second explosion when uzi fell in, it did look like one might have happened, but i think itd be a very odd decision to destroy copper 9 just before J was about to fight thad and lizzy. we know MD loves its fights

I think that Uzi teleported through blackhole which was inside Copper-9 to the blackhole which was inside Earth. That's why the destroyed "Copper-9" looks the same as Earth. Also we can see that Doll was able to teleport using small blackholes. (If we watch this moments frame by frame we can see how little blackhole appears before Doll's teleportation.)

[@ProfSir1]

You did a better job explaining what happened than the actual episode. Well done.

[@ViewerOnline101]

I think you're off on a couple things. I don't think N would have ever killed Uzi. When he said that they weren't going to hurt her (Uzi), he was very clearly looking at and talking to Tessa, which was his way of telling her that he was not going to let Uzi be sacrificed. Nori telling N about her past didn't change N's mind to not sacrifice Uzi, rather, it made him realize that there was a way to save Uzi, which he suspected Tessa was withholding that info, hence why he demanded an answer from her right before he killed her when she dodged the question. N basically took that as an admission that she did know about the Patch and didn't tell him so that he would kill Uzi. So knowing that he couldn't trust her and that she was trying to kill Uzi, he killed her. The other thing, despite Tessa having actually been Cyn, it doesn't seem like Cyn was actually controlling her (yet). Rather, she let that body keep Tessa's personality like she did N, V, and J with there's while Cyn's consciousness biding its time within her, but the Cyn consciousness took over after N killed Tessa. This is backed up by the things Tessa said and did prior to the Cynessa revelation. I mean, if Uzi was getting taken over by Cyn, then why would Cyn want/try to kill Uzi unless it was the Tessa personality in control at the time thinking she really was stopping Cyn. On that note, if Cyn really was controlling Tessa the whole time, then that means that Cyn could move and talk normally, so why wouldn't she just always move and talk normally instead of in broken speech with awkward movements?

[@fiftycentsoap9714]

me personally i think tessa is still alive like captured inside herself if that makes sense. i'm hoping if the solver is defeated she'll come back. or at least come back as like a flashback or dream and give the drones closure. something like that. idk though i think i'm in denial she was my favorite😭😭 she still is though idc

[@Iso20227]

I think Cyn is adorable. The Absolute Solver is another story though. I can’t help but wonder about some alternate reality where Cyn wasn’t possessed, I just feel like it would be so wholesome. And I may like Cyn, but N x Cyn is just crazy.

[@SoraWorkerDrone]

Cyn is just so pure evil to do something so unforgivable, she is just more worse than Father from Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood. Killing Tessa and wearing her skin is so sad and terrifying.

[@chongwillson972]

@SoraWorkerDrone I mean cyn did say she was not going to discard her.

[@captainsoldier774]

It's litterally impossible to not feel sorry for N after the recent events. Not only did he have to see his love interest and friend sacrifice herself, but the only human who treated him like an equal, not just a servant, is long dead and her corpse is controlled by an eldritch AI/program/something in the body of another friend of his. Poor guy seriously needs a hug after all this.

[@cathygrandstaff1957]

Tessa being visibly annoyed by Cyn in the ballroom scene was probably jealousy, Cyn had just come in on the arm of N, and if Tessa truly has romantic feelings for N seeing him and another drone together like that would raise her ire. This is why she basically snatches N away from Cyn and holds him up before leveling a glare at Cyn. In this scene Cyn goes from being a friend to being a rival. I’m sad Tessa died, since she was one of the ones that was kind to the drones. Although I do think Cyn might have been using someone else as her skin suit while masquerading as Tessa. She uses the stolen fingerprint to get access to the computer in the facility, but why would Tessa have authorization to do that? Granted Tessa’s parents are clearly important, but giving your kid access to classified files doesn’t make a lot of sense.

I won't lie, I don't know when but when the season of murder drones trailer came out, I wasn't sure but somewhere there was something there that led me to theorize CYN having a crush on N, (this was on twitter btw) and at least 300 people liked it so I assume people were alright with the idea. However, as more episodes came out, I kind of ditched the idea as it didn't seem like CYN had any feelings for N or anyone at all.. However episode 7 really making me think otherwise as CYN seemed to really enjoy N's personality and trying to play with N's emotions.

I will say this show at first I thought would be a horror style slasher with robots but the more you watch it and realize despite its edgy and dark theming it presents itself it’s actually describing/ showing what love is because that’s the thing with love its messy, random and always changing so it is hard to describe it with words but love is always better to show than tell and murder drones does that perfectly with how love acts and even ironic the characters that explain love through what they do are robots which are well known for having the trope of not feeling any emotion especially love

[@aronszabo6009]

I can't believe they killed only nice human character, she had lot of potential.😠

[@CrystalGeny]

No hate or malice, but I genuinely disagree with the idea that both Tessa & Cyn had romantic feelings for N. It just doesn’t make sense to me the way that N’s feelings towards Uzi in the present and V in the past does. To me, Tessa saw N the same way she saw the other robots; as family that she felt protective over and wanted to take care of, the type of doting & caring family she didn’t have. Cyn’s “feelings” are obsessive, but to me it seems more in a sadistic & scientific way. Like the idea of the uncalculated outcomes due to his and the other drones’ emotional responses intrigued her so much that she let them keep their OS-created personalities and see how they’d change or react. I just can’t see as either of them having romantic interests given their circumstances. And it’s because of these circumstances that we see why Cyn did what she did to Tessa; not only was it strategy to get more information from humans or other drones, but the main Disassembly Squad had a connection to Tessa that intrigued her. She used that as both leverage to complete her goal and as a way to toy with them and see the unpredictable emotional responses their OS would create

[@jilliancrawford7577]

Did I imagine it, or did J's reappearance copy her first reappearance as if it was a scripted action? It looked like her behavior was a script that stopped when she realized Tessa wasn't there to help reinforce it. I wonder if that'll play into future episodes. Also, I really wonder what the timespan is from Tessa's death to what we saw in episode 7 if her remains haven't decomposed much. Then again, I also got the impression that Tessa has been possessed with Cyn for a while and the actual death and total possession happened when N decapitated her like how Nori and Doll and Yeva are something of hybrids. Im not too sure how, maybe Tessa survived and tried negotiating with Cyn to let this happen only for it to enable possession. At earliest, maybe it started before the massacre and Tessa wasn't fully aware of what was happening. There just seems potential for Tessa's compassion to be exploited with Cyn plotting 10,000 steps ahead.
