When they say goodbye and do the wired clapping action which I guess is waving to each other.

the place for lost thing with a black tall wall: the reality that misfits get misunderstood and pushed away

Maybe the lost thing was just a lost thing for many people, but for some people it is the thing they care about.
Theme
When you encounter people who doesn't really fit into anywhere or who you don't feel like you will not get along, it might be scary to walk up to them. Although you could be judging too soon. Even someone doesn't fit in particular place, there could be a whole new community waiting for them. Don't give up too soon, help one another and find your own happy place.
