* "Imposter Boulevard," Kazui's second voice drama, gives more hints to his crime and how they relate to the lies he told. Combining lines like "I’ve tried to be myself! I’ve tried to just be the way I was born!" with the common theory that he's gay and [[TheBeard married his wife out of pressure to conform]], then [[OutoftheClosetIntothefire confessed, leading to her death]] is heartbreaking because he just wants to be himself without guilt.

* "Double" gives us more insight in to Mikoto’s [[SplitPersonality alter]], making him more sympathetic. The song implies that any of his violent actions are all that’s keeping the system somewhat functional, but he understands that it’s still destroying their lives. He wishes he didn't exist in the first place, because that only means Mikoto suffered horribly and needs his protection. His last line of the song is an apology, the recipient of which is unclear.

* "Double" gives us more insight in to Mikoto’s alter, and it makes him pitiable. The song implies that his rampages are all that’s keeping the system somewhat functional, but he understands that it’s still destroying their lives and that he shouldn’t need to exist in the first place, because that only means Mikoto suffered horribly and needs his protection. His last line of the song is an apology, and whether it’s to his host or victims is unclear.

* "Magic" is a bright and peppy song with a colorful music video that looks like a children's TV show, but under it is Amane trying to impress or at least satisfy her teachers in the cult she belongs to, only to be brutally punished. When she gets a question wrong, Gachata finger-flicks her in the forehead hard enough to knock her to the floor. Then, when she bandages an injured cat's head, the mood of the song changes from cheerful to dark and foreboding as the cult leaders approach her ominously. The video then cuts to repeated shots of all four of them putting her through various tortures.

* "After Pain" shows Mu being viciously bullied by her two former friends, to the point that she contemplates suicide. They destroy her belongings, laugh at her and film her humiliation on their cellphones. Finally, Rei sees her lying on the floor of the school closet looking pitiful, and does nothing to either help or hinder, walking away. Mu seems to hope that this means Rei doesn't hate her, but when she chases down Rei as she walks home from school and seemingly begs her for help, the other girl does not answer and turns away. Mu finally snaps and stabs her to death with a boxcutter.

* "Bring It On" shows Futa through his own eyes as the hero of a video game slaying monsters and bringing justice to the world, when in reality he is conducting cyberbullying campaigns against those he feels deserves to be punished. When he "slays" the final "monster," his expression turns from triumphant, to worried, to scared as he notices the blood splatter on his face and [[ThoseHandsHaveKilled hand]], and his "companions" in the background fade away even as he turns to look at them. The last shot of the video is him under a blanket as he looks at his phone screen with a horrified expression, implied to be the moment when he realized he drove his last victim to suicide.

* "Weakness" is about Haruka desperately wanting to be loved by someone who abuses him and calls him a disappointment, apparently his mother. He feels so alone that anyone paying him the smallest bit of attention, including his mother saying "you're crazy," is enough to make him happy.

** The way Mu looks [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone absolutely horrified with herself]] after she's just stabbed Rei is soul-crushing, especially the closeup on her trembling hands clutching the boxcutter. As other schoolgirls surround them, Mu collapses across Rei's body, as the lyrics repeat over and over, "'I'm sorry' won't reach anyone (I hope it will someday)."
