* ShipTease: A couple references to Gwen are made despite its short runtime. A FreezeFrameBonus when Miles crawls over the ceiling shows a work-in-progress sketch he's doing of her, and the ending is him telling his dad that he has a lot stuff on his mind like homework and girls, before correcting himself: "Well... ''one'' girl."

* DramaticIrony: A few times in the short, Miles is haunted by voices of people (especially his parents) telling him that he's always running late and never seems to show any responsibility. As other panels during these moments show, and the audience is already aware, Miles is the Spider-Man of his universe, and [[WithGreatPowerComesGreatResponsibility showing an enormous amount of responsibility]]. It's just that BeingGoodSucks when Miles has to keep up a SecretIdentity, and the HeroicFatigue is getting to Miles pretty badly.
* ExtremelyShortTimespan: Even assuming the dream that Miles had wasn't real-time, the entire short has its conflict resolve very quickly. It starts with Miles walking down the street to Jefferson's place, then ends just a few minutes later when Miles and Jefferson go for a walk so Miles can talk with his dad.

* {{Irony}}: When Miles sees the scary movie on the TV, he says the lady onscreen should check behind her. And then Jefferson scares Miles. And says he told ''Miles'' to have good situational awareness.

* AnAesop: The main idea of this short film is to show that reaching out for help from a loved one (in Miles's case, his father) can be just as brave an act as protecting a whole city as a superhero.

The short details the mindset of Miles Morales as he goes to his dad's apartment, with how being Spider-Man is affecting the mindset of Miles weighing heavily on him. While in his room, Miles has a very vivid nightmare about a strange black simulacrum of himself...
