* TheUnfavorite: [[spoiler: Akira has felt she was this in the eyes of her parents for a very long time and eventually has to admit to herself that her resistence towards mending the rifts in the family partially stems from the fear that doing so will just mean she'll go back to that role.]]

Added DiffLines:

* ParentsAsPeople: Lilly's parents, Karla and Hiroyuki Satou, take this trope UpToEleven. The fact that they went to Scotland and left Lilly behind in Japan with Akira isn't glossed over, but they're nevertheless portrayed as well-meaning and caring people who had their own problems influencing their decisions and who genuinely love their children.

* WoundedGazelleGambit: An unpleasant, but well-meant example. Hanako's first aid trainer was asked to give his opinion on Hanako's ability to use her newly learned knowledge in an actual emergency, so he pretends to collapse just to see if she manages to act or if she breaks down. Hanako passes the test, but only barely.

[[http://ks.renai.us/viewtopic.php?f=52&t=6750 Sisterhood (Hanako Epilogue)]] is a ContinuationFic that picks up around the time where Hanako's good ending in KatawaShoujo left off and ends around the time Lilly's story arc would end in the VN. The story starts with Lilly still in Scotland, having just heard her parents' request to join them there and Hisao and Hanako adjusting to the changes their relationship has brought into their lives. Hanako, her confidence boosted a little bit by her success in winning Hisao's heart, is determined to strengthen her friendship with Lilly and get on more equal footing with her, but the situation is complicated when Lilly announces her parents want her to leave Japan and migrate to Scotland.
