* TheChainOfHarm: [[spoiler: In the KINDNESS and TRUST endings, Sunny refuses to have Hero and Mari punished under the belief that doing so perpetuates more harm in the future, rationalizing Mari's abuse of him to their mother's physical abuse of the father and the father's former drinking problems.]]

* CopHater: Peki (and Sunny by extension) despises cops, to the point that a frequent tactic for Peki in Headspace is to taunt his friends about being “Fun Police” to get them to do stuff and at one point caused a frenzied riot/party chanting “FUCK THE POLICE”. [[spoiler: This understandably caused by Sunny trying to report Mari raping him in the past and being [[NotNowKiddo waved off]] [[AdultsAreUseless due to lack of on-hand evidence.]]]]

* FreudianExcuse: Sunny's more less pleasant aspects stems from him [[spoiler: rationalizing Mari's treatment of him to be "perfect."]]

to:

* FailureIsTheOnlyOption: Despite Sunny’s (and Peki’s) insistence that the truth stays buried and the lie that he killed Mari be in its place, in all three endings the truth that [[spoiler: Mari raped Sunny, killed herself out of guilt, and Hero scapegoated Sunny with the canon stairs incident]] will inevitably come out either due to [[spoiler: Sunny revealing everything himself or the eventual discovery of Mari’s hidden [[GoodbyeCruelWorld suicide letter]]]]. All that changed is how many people die by the time it's revealed.
* FreudianExcuse: Sunny's more less pleasant aspects stems from him [[spoiler: rationalizing Mari's treatment molestation of him to be "perfect."]]



* KarmicDeath: [[spoiler: In the VENGENCE and COWARDICE-KEEP endings, Sunny ends up killing Hero in revenge or insanity respectively. Considering Hero is the reason (beyond Mari’s earlier torment) Sunny got that bad in the first place (since the lie meant that he couldn’t get help), it certainly makes sense.]]



* MultipleEndings: Unusually for a fanfic, this one has multiple endings to mimic the ones in the canon game - including one that's an AlternateUniverse where Mari fell into a coma instead of dying.

* MultipleEndings: Unusually for a fanfic, this one has multiple endings to mimic the ones in the canon game - including one that's an AlternateUniverse where Mari fell into a coma instead of dying. There are three different endings with varying levels of angst involved.
**[[GoldenEnding Forgiveness]]: [[spoiler: Sunny decides to forgive Peki after their BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind and let him fade away into his subconscious, and accepts what happened to him before spilling the beans on the truth of Mari’s death.]]
** [[EarnYourBadEnding Vengeance]]: [[spoiler: Unlike the above, Sunny kills Peki after their duel and decides to kill Hero in revenge for ruining his life and throws the two of them off the Hospital roof. Posthumously it's revealed through Mari’s suicide letter, the truth about her death, and the town subsequently has to cope]]. (Equivalent to the Bad Ending)
** [[RayOfHopeEnding Cowardice]]: [[spoiler: After Sunny learns the truth he chooses NOT to confront Hero and decides to succumb to his trauma and SOMETHING. Later on, he attempts to (depending on if he discarded or kept the vodka bottle right before this) either rape or murder Hero and gets locked up in an asylum. He does however get professional help for his issues and gets exonerated by Mari’s note later with the implication that he might start healing in the future.]]

Added DiffLines:

* MeaningfulName: Peki's name is derived from "kanpeki", a Japanese word roughly analogous to "perfect". [[spoiler:Peki is effectively Sunny's denial of what Mari did to him given form, with him blindly idolising her and believing she did nothing wrong.]]
