* David's mother, from her forgetting who David really is to [[spoiler: her death soon after her operation cures her dementia.]] Her condition may hit close to home for people who have/had a loved one suffer like this.
* Finding the diary entry from one of D's professors. D greatly respected this one professor, but this entry reveals that the professor was annoyed by D's presence and thought he was a hopeless dreamer.

[[HarmfulToMinors David immediately regrets walking past there with Fluffy in tow.]] And if [[spoiler: Paul and Marion see them, Paul will tell her to avert her eyes, while she wonders if David was the one who did it]].
