Mental Time Travel | |
| Parallels / int_7cc7ff15 | comment |
Mental Time Travel: A bizarre inversion Adult!Bilal's body travels back in time but his mind remains that of his teenage self (though he gets occasional flashes of his future memories). It is later explained that Adult!Bilal lost his memory due to the trauma of time-travel and mentally regressed to his teenager self. | |

What Happened to the Mouse? | |
| Parallels / int_863fa679 | comment |
What Happened to the Mouse?: We never do learn the final fate of Hugo Moreau, the child who disappears in the prologue during the 2011 collider experiment. Presumably, he ended up in another dimension but his fate is never discussed by the characters after episode 3. | |

Timey-Wimey Ball | |
| Parallels / int_8d23f3a7 | comment |
Timey-Wimey Ball: It's never made entirely clear whether the collider causes the characters to actually Time Travel or simply jump parallel worlds. Romane and Victor definitely traveled to a Parallel Universe (or more accurately, their original universe was split and they ended up in one branch). However, Adult!Bilal seems to have traveled back from a possible future of the original universe with the intent of changing history. And following the Reset Button Ending, the kids start to regain memories of their experiences in the previous timeline, implying that they are the same people and not Parallel Universe counterparts. | |

Set Right What Once Went Wrong | |
| Parallels / int_93ed8515 | comment |
Set Right What Once Went Wrong: Romane and Victor travel back in time from 2025 to 2021 in an attempt to prevent the disappearances of Bilal and Sam. In Romane's case, she also wants to prevent her mother from dying of a heart attack in the future and ensure that she breaks up with the compulsive gambler Herve. In the finale, we learn that this was Adult!Bilal's motivation for traveling back. In his future, Victor caused Sam's death and then disappeared—an event which Adult!Bilal wants to prevent. | |

Abusive Parents | |
| Parallels / int_b11ac9f5 | comment |
Abusive Parents: Victor certainly thinks his parents, Arnauld and Alice, are this. The truth is that they are just strict but well-meaning parents who are genuinely at a loss about how to deal with their gifted-but-disruptive younger son. | |

Love Triangle | |
| Parallels / int_b7e0c5ff | comment |
Love Triangle: An understated one between Bilal, Romane and Sam. Bilal and Sam have both long had feelings for Romane, though unlike Bilal, Sam actually tries to act on those feelings just before all hell breaks loose. However, in one of the future timelines, it is Bilal and Romane who end up together, albeit in a world where Sam is long dead. | |

Married in the Future: Bilal and Romane are married in the future timeline that Adult!Bilal comes from. Sofia is seemingly married to (or at least in a relationship with) Lieutenant Retz in the same future. | |
