Throughout the video,the camera filter transitions from normal to thermal sensor,with some buildings and pedestrians occasionally glitching as though from the viewer's point of view. At the end,the three characters meet up inside a warehouse in an industrial building,where they assemble some sort of machine together,which projects glowing blue lines throughout the city of Hong Kong,as the video glitches and ends.
