A theory spawns another theory
Since «Gravity» came out people have been discussing the symbolism of the song and animation.
The oxymoronic combination of song's name being «Gravity» and anti-gravitational movements of Lute (walking on the walls and the ceiling), biblical allusions in the lyrics (the Genesis Flood) and other important details.
As many fans believe, one of the most impressive frames in «Gravity» is supposed to show the «fall» of Lute in the future.
Indeed, it speaks volumes and is very logical (as we can see from the episode 2, where Lute does not receive any support, be that support for her plan or mere psychological help – both affect her actions and make her even more desperate).
It catches our eye, but there is something that usually stays out of viewer's attention: we had better look closer at frames, since it isn't the one and only falling of Lute during the song, nor is it chronologically the first one.
Actually, there are two moments where she is falling down.
The second one depicting angel's dark silhouette attracts everyone's attention, here we see the «fall» itself, as it is. (By the way, she broke the window wall and not the ceiling here)
The first one remains behind the scenes, but the essence is the same – she is falling. We just see a result instead of process. And that result is no less important and symbolic…
She breaks the stained-glass ceiling and is about to fall down. But where is at that exact moment Adam?
The answer: he stays on the floor, while she is under the ceiling. He is «in Hell», waiting for her, while she is «in Heaven». Metaphorically.
Nota bene: Adam as hallucination can fly, as we see in many scenes. He also accompanies Lute during her flight around the room, appearing here and there, beside her or opposite her… Why stay down there waiting? Emphasis in the discussed scene was obviously on him.
And here we witness the concentration of meaning – depiction of extermination on the ceiling, falling (or fallen) angel, gold and red shards of glass falling like a rain (some time later – gradient of gold-red sky) ... and Adam, looking up at her, waiting for her, even meeting her with soft hand movement as she lands. The very next moment they are completely in sync and are mirroring each other, just like they used to do in season 1.
The «mirroring» is, in my opinion, also important – that is something they usually do, but it is also the first time during the song when Adam acts natural and doesn't give these hallucination/ghost vibes (by that I mean his constant whispering and abrupt appearances behind her back etc.) …
Possible interpretation or conclusion: they definitely will meet each other. A winner/archangel will become sinner/overlord, an angel will become fallen angel.
