* FirstNameBasis: A curious example in the sequel. Steinbeck, Hawthorne and Twain are usually referred to by their last names (like in this sentence), but during the segment in chapter 8 where [[spoiler: Lucy and Twain have to be the parents for Steinbeck and raise him until he's 21]], the narration switches to their first names presumably to make it more 'kid-like' (aside from all their names now having four letters).

* MobWar: The conclusion of the sequel's first chapter; [[spoiler: the incubators announce to every belligerents for the auto-purification barrier that they deliberately informed them of the barrier so they would fight each other and use Doppel more for the Incubators' energy quota. Hearing this, the Agency tries to convince everyone to cooperate so they can work together expanding the barrier for everyone. The Government agrees to ally themselves with the Agency, the Guild refuses because their leader refuses to, the Rats refuse because they prefer to work independantly, the Hunting Dogs' leader sells his Adjusting service to everyone to maintain their neutrality, while the Decay of Angels decides to watch for now]].

* TwoLinesNoWaiting: The sequel is especially guilty of this because it suddenly includes way more characters like its source (because said source was a gacha game) and lessens the focus on each one, trying to focus on the big picture of the war in Yokohama.
