* '''Deconstructed''': The fact that Dim is able to glide into human society despite his atrocious acting skills is because everyone around him is shallow and self-centred and don't really pay attention to anything he's saying, which the author uses for the purposes of satire.
* '''Reconstructed''': Dim's eager descriptions of how he is a human and does human things causes his 'fellow humans' to re-examine their own lives and that of others and start caring for each other. Naturally, they're all very grateful towards this exuberant young... Man?... Whose constant cries of "I'm human! I talk with my fellow humans and buy shoes like humans should!" have awakened them to the truths of others.
