* TemptingFate: In the flashback that revealed how Paul got stuck in Silent Hill, he walked away after asking Electivire to Thunder Punch Sean into Lake Toluca (because Sean tried to attack ''them'' first, under the assumption that Electirie was a Null), because he thinks that Sean was kidding when he said he couldn't swim. Seconds alter, Sean screams for his mother and ''that's'' when he realizes that this is the truth.

** Hop and Alex's brotherly relationship breaks, or "dies", when the former finally regains his senses and becomes rightfully pissed off at what the latter did.

** Moreover, said dragon is the embodiment of '''Destruction''', and his awakening effectively unleashes a domino effect that slowly but surely begins destroying the Cage of Flauros: while Hop breaking out of Delirium was a coincidence, Dream's powers going out of control is implied to be thanks to his awakening, and Despair's true story is revealed, rendering his transformation AllForNothing.
