: A recurring metaphor depicts an inventor (Lu Guang) trying to reunite with a deceased girl (Cheng Xiaoshi) by building a flying machine. This mirrors Lu Guang's desperate attempts to use his powers to "reach" a version of Cheng that doesn't die.
This opening is famous for its "reversed" gimmick, where the second half of the sequence (and the song itself) plays backward to reflect the theme of reversing time.
: In one scene, Lu Guang is shown in a church with "ghost money" (joss paper), used in Chinese tradition to mourn the deceased. This suggests that he is already mourning someone, or is working to prevent a future death.
The first opening sets up the core mechanic of the show—the "dive"—but hints at a deeper, more tragic narrative.
: The first half of the video is clean and crisp, showing the characters reaching for each other. However, after a hand-clap, the second half becomes glitchy and the characters sink or fall away from each other, suggesting a hopeless or altered future.
