* DrivenToSuicide: [[spoiler: Ariel]].
* DrugsAreGood: Or Ariel seems to think so, anyway.
** Ariel's love for drugs means he was semi conscious when [[spoiler: Luther drugged him on the train]].

** They also [[spoiler: don't seem to care much about the immense pain and trauma their son goes through in the Games, and seem to hint that they think it would be better if he died.]]


Added DiffLines:

* UnderestimatingBadassery:
** Luka is underestimated, and those who underestimate him [[spoiler: often end up dying]].
** Des is also underestimated, but she [[spoiler: leads the tots, takes charge of boys who are much older than her]] and [[spoiler: comes out of the arena alive]].
