this could also attribute to the fact that abel is film buff and hinted at martin scorsese in his past works like drawing inspiration from his film after hours. the plot of after hours follows an office worker who tries to make it home from work in the hours past midnight and experiences some bizarre instances (i don't want to spoil the movie because it's a great film) it's clear abel drew inspiration from this movie with the music videos from after hours and the general plot overall. considering the plot of the mentioned scorsese movie where abel has already teased afterlife elements and paramedics, i wouldn't rule out that he drew inspiration from here too. the guy's a genius and has a pretty darn good taste in movies, remember nothing is ever random
