* ArcWords: Twice, both times referencing the game's [[TitleDrop title.]] [[spoiler: Near the end of the game, the protagonist and Lucy have a conversation about what eternity means for a human and a robot. The protagonist explains to Lucy that "eternity" for him will be as long as he is alive and she lives in his memories; when Lucy is destroyed, she says that she is happy and will be with him as long as he remembers her for eternity. After she is rebuilt by the protagonist 15 years after the original ending, they are finally able to live "the eternity she wished for" like they always intended: [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming together.]]]]

* TheseusShipParadox: Discussed when Lucy ponders the fact that, over time, repairs and part replacement would mean that there'd eventually be nothing left of her original body, and even her memories can be erased, overwritten or copied.

* InterfaceScrew: [[spoiler: Upon unlocking the epilogue, the "New Game" option becomes garbled and unable to be selected until the player views the GoldenEnding.]]

* TheseusShipParadox: When the protagonist admits that he likes Lucy for who she is, she brings up that over time, with all the repairs and replacement parts she'll require, there might not be anything left of the original Lucy. The protagonist retorts that he likes about Lucy isn't physical, and that even with a different body, she'd still be Lucy.

* UncannyValley: [[InUniverse Invoked.]] While Lucy and the other characters are drawn in an anime style, other robots other than Lucy are drawn in a far more realistic style that clashes with the main art style, to emphasize how artificial they are and how human Lucy seems in comparison.

* AIIsACrapshoot: The Korean government believes androids like Lucy have the potential to [[GrewBeyondTheirProgramming grow beyond their programming]] and pose a threat to humans, which is why they strongly regulate the number and type of androids allowed. They eventually order the destruction of androids, [[spoiler: which ultimately causes Lucy to recover her memories during the TrueEnding.]]
