- Themes
- Save Your Family!: Alternate Nanna travels back to save his mother and maybe others of his family.
- Travels into Yourself: It’s unclear what actually happens with original Nanna’s travels, but because original Nanna never sees his one-hour-earlier self, we believe that he goes back into his earlier self’s body to re-do the hour. This differs, however, from alternate timeline Nanna’s 7-year trip. He is clearly separate from original Nanna, but we don't know what happens to him or his timeline after he delivers the package.
