* TheDulcineaEffect: Arguably Bahir/Ailu. He meets Cilla when she asks him to write music for her play, instead he writes a song for her ("''Cilla Suite''" in the book, "''Cilla Turns''" in the film) despite not knowing her and being at least a couple of years her senior. After her death he writes her another song ("''Memorial Cilla''" in the book, "''Jag Saknar Dig''" in the film) which he performs at the funeral. After the first song becomes a hit he is obsessed with perfecting it and asks Tina to help him out by playing the violin on the track. The way his musical partner Ola comments on it in the book it seems like he's working on the song as part of his grief process. All this for a girl he barely knew.

Added DiffLines:
* TheOner: Featured in a pivotal scene in the movie, where Georg, the school counselor, helps Tina to a breakthrough in her grieving process. The shot begins with Tina and Georg sitting down on opposite sides of a bench encircling a tree, with only Tina clearly visible as Georg is on the other side of the tree facing away from her. He asks her to first close her eyes and think of a pleasant memory of Cilla, and then has Tina repeating what he says and continuing where he stops. When says "The only thing I can't forgive her for is...", Tina repeats and then hesitates before breaking down into hysterical sobs, saying that the only thing she can't forgive her twin sister for is dying and leaving Tina behind to take care of everyone and everything, and missing Cilla more than she can stand. During her sobs she hears Cilla's voice in her head, saying that she wants to trade places with Tina and be alive, prompting Tina to sobbingly tell her sister that she, too, wants to live, begging her sister to leave her be. She then voices her own guilt over having not seen the car that hit Cilla, and having ran out into the street without looking both ways. The entire take runs for just under four minutes, and the actress who plays Tina (Erica Midfjäll) [[SugarWiki/HeReallyCanAct does a very good job]] of going from being tense and on edge to relaxing when talking about her happy memory with Cilla, to eventually shaking with sobs, carrying the entire scene mostly on her own as Georg is barely seen and stops talking early in the shot.

* GoodIsNotNice: While the twins are both genuinely good people, and Cilla is presented as the nicer and more caring one, neither girl is ever portrayed as a saint. For instance, in the movie Fredde musters up the courage to ask Cilla out, but in that moment Ailu walks in to the room and she carelessly brushes Fredde off, saying "''Sorry Fredde, but you can forget about that.''" She doesn't notice how crushed he is by her words.

\"For a dead character to be considered Killed Off For Real it cannot be simply any death; it must be one that under normal circumstances for the setting and genre could have been reversed, undone or revealed to be some sort of trick. If it\'s a setting with All Deaths Final, this never comes into play — remember that permanent death is Like Reality Unless Noted. Consequently, most realistic or mundane works do not provide examples of this trope.\"
