- Irony: Mallory lampshades how the group is intending to run away from a world that actively adores them.
- Leaning on the Fourth Wall: Mallory never encountered a double of himself, so Robert Floyd only played this one version. When told there is no double on this world, Mallory remarks he's "one of a kind."
