* {{Gaslighting}}: [[spoiler:One of Kristoph's tactics, with the goal of essentially training Phoenix to be afraid of his loved ones and push "making Kristoph happy so that I won't get hurt" to the top of his priority list. As the author's note for "the torture chapter" has it:]]
--> His relationship with [[spoiler:Kristoph]] becomes intense, as his entire world is shaped by the man. In the last scene, [[spoiler:Kristoph]] obtains a tabloid magazine that reveals that [[spoiler:Apollo and Klavier]] are in a relationship; [[spoiler:Phoenix]] is so traumatised by [[spoiler:Kristoph]] that his only thoughts are on how this will impact him, personally.
* GratuitousGerman: As in canon, this is Klavier Gavin's stock-in-trade, the least being his nicknames "Herr Forehead" and "mein Stacheltier" (my hedgehog) for Apollo.
