* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Yamato starts to realize this when Aiko [[WhatTheHellHero calls him out]] on the rumor that he was seen leaving Megumi's apartment. He initially doesn't think there's anything wrong with it, since he states there's nothing going on between them, and he's simply going there for dinner. Aiko then asks him that if the situation were reversed, where Mei was going to another guy's house without his knowledge, if Yamato would be okay with that. He runs off and begins searching for Mei, canceling his photo shoot with Megumi in the process.

Added DiffLines:

* TruthInTelevision: The bullying that several of the characters are shown to have gone through, namely Mei and Kai, is shown to have been based on unclear or arbitrary reasons. This is pretty true to reality, since contrary to popular belief, bullying is not always a response to that which is different or unknown and can in fact happen to anyone, regardless of how they look, what they wear or how they live.

* SelectiveObliviousness: Yamato takes a long time to realize that he has an unfortunate tendency of leading girls on. While that may not be his intention, that is irrelevent since the result is always the same. Just ask Aiko, Megumi, and Natsuki.

** Rin gets a case of this after her disastrous pool date with Kai, who she specifically invited out to the pool in the hopes of seeing him shirtless. She catches a glimpse of just [[ScarsAreForever why he didn't want to take his shirt off on front of her]]. Kai expects her to be disgusted, but she's mainly shocked at what was done to him, saddened that she hurt him and guilty that she invaded his privacy.
