Not sure if this is the right trope, but it\'s in the ballpark at least (Ironic Echo examples).

Added DiffLines:

* IronicEcho: There's like ten of these. Some of the more obvious examples:
** [[spoiler: When Priscilla dies, the Narrator reverses her lines from Annabella has a Doll.]]
** [[spoiler: Also, Priscilla reverses Annabella's lines back in Annabella Raises the Dead.]]
** [[spoiler: Jasper also mimics the "Be my angel" lines from Annabella, which may be more or less ironic since he actually knew her and heard those lines.]]
