* ApocalypseHow: Earth is implied to have undergone at least a ApocalypseHow/Class6 (potentially ApocalypseHow/ClassX) due to [[ColonyDrop another celestial body crashing into it]].
* ArtisticLicenseSpace: If a Mars-sized object like that had approached the Solar System, we could have detected it from tens or even hundreds of years ago for a more effective countermeasure (like world-wide evacuation) and Shelter probably wouldn't have had such a bleak ending. It is in fact the small and medium-sized asteroids that pose a more serious threat because their agility and smallness make them much harder to detect.

* BodyHorror: Rin's fate in the real world: her body is plugged into a machine through wires piercing her back. The skin around each wire looks as though it's been cracked.
* BookEnds: Rin repeats her assurance that she doesn't feel alone at the end of the short, only this time she has the understanding to back it up.

* DesolationShot: Shown several times. First, when Rin is in the bath the desolate landscape is outside her window. Second, in the flashback, the news displays Tokyo as destroyed. Third, there is a brief shot of young Rin and Shigeru looking over the oncoming destruction.

* EarthShatteringKaboom: The final shot of Young Rin in the spaceship, as the view of the earth and the other object colliding is visible in the window's reflection.
* EverybodysDeadDave: The truth of Rin's life is that she's been literally alone for almost seven years following the destruction of Earth, and doesn't realize she's possibly the last human left alive. Rather than being a forlorn ending, however, the trope is partially subverted as this revelation, being saved by her father and having her memories of him, means she will never be alone as she carries him in her heart.

However, after viewing her father's memories, the truth is that she was most likely unaware of the apocalypse when she was placed in the shuttle and sent away by Shigeru, implying that she had seen a glimpse of her father's memories of the apocalypse a long time ago.

* BeautifulVoid: There's nothing else but Rin and the gorgeous landscapes she creates. The flashback scenes also count.
* BlatantLies: Rin assures the audience that she doesn't feel alone or troubled at the start of the short. While she does have fun in her paradise, we quickly see this is not the case at all.
* BittersweetEnding: While there's no indication that by the end there will be any changes to Rin's predicament as she's still all alone in the virtual world and her home world is destroyed meaning she has nowhere to return to, she feels less alone now knowing of her fathers love and sacrifice.
* BodyHorror: Rin's fate in the real world: her body is plugged into a machine through wires piercing her back. The skin around each wire looks as though it's been cracked.
* BookEnds: Rin repeats her assurance that she doesn't feel alone at the end of the short, only this time she has the understanding to back it up.
* ColonyDrop: Revealed towards the latter part of the animation. A celestial body of some kind, whether it's a moon, planet, or asteroid, is on a collision course with Earth, and Shigeru's goal was to find any way for Rin to survive the destruction of Earth.
* DesolationShot: Shown several times. First, when Rin is in the bath the desolate landscape is outside her window. Second, in the flashback, the news displays Tokyo as destroyed. Third, there is a brief shot of young Rin and Shigeru looking over the oncoming destruction.
* PrefersGoingBarefoot: Rin is barefoot for 95% of the time and even outdoors, only wearing shoes once outside of flashbacks, and even there, she is not wearing shoes.
* EarthShatteringKaboom: The final shot of Young Rin in the spaceship, as the view of the earth and the other object colliding is visible in the window's reflection.
* EverybodysDeadDave: The truth of Rin's life is that she's been literally alone for almost seven years following the destruction of Earth, and doesn't realize she's possibly the last human left alive. Rather than being a forlorn ending, however, the trope is partially subverted as this revelation, being saved by her father and having her memories of him, means she will never be alone as she carries him in her heart.
* FakeMemories: At the start of the video, a teenage Rin recalls witnessing the apocalypse herself. However, after viewing her father's memories, the truth is that she was most likely unaware of the apocalypse when she was placed in the shuttle and sent away by Shigeru, implying that she had seen a glimpse of her father's memories of the apocalypse a long time ago. She also misremembers herself being a redhead when she was a brunette in reality.
* FanDisservice: Rin being naked inside her spaceship is not very appealing to the eyes when lots of wires are piercing her body to support it.
* GoodParents: Rin's dad is a loving father on top of secretly making a spaceship to save his daughter.
* HeroicSacrifice: Shigeru built a spacecraft for Rin to escape on, rather than one for himself or two, knowing he would die on earth with everyone else after she was gone. As the spacecraft carried Rin off, he seemed happy with his decision.
