Handcuffs which are closed at the other end, meaning he was attached to someone else.

Or something. He pays no attention at all to them. Still locked. It seems they activate and emit bluish light the moment he awakes. Two different cuffs, connected by an unusual long chain. Makes me think they have very special purpose and this is not to bind an individuals hands.

Locks? Those pendants don't look like they have movable parts.

Time travel, worm holes, alternate universes/realities. Kojimas himself hints to this.

 

Kojima-san explained the meaning of the title: You talk about “mass stranding” when there are a lot of whales or dolphins stranded on the beach. It’s called “live stranding” when they’re alive, and “dead stranding” when they’re dead. The meaning of the title is that something came from “some world” and is stranded.

The last moments with the 5 characters hovering in the sky... Godhand from the anime Berserk sprung into my head. To me it looks like the center has its armed crossed. Rejection, animosity.
