Theme
Take care of nature because once you destroy the nature completely, it is impossible to make it as it used to be. They escaped from the urbanized world they lived because they thought the world won’t recover anymore. Then, they will never come back to the world and will continue to live in a strange object shaped like a jellyfish. Even the main character that treated nature kindly seemed to be satisfied with the new environment with a lot of plants, not knowing who/what crates the new world that they moved in.
