* Amity is the namesake of her paternal aunt, who she closely resembles, who died as a kid when she snuck into Alador's laboratory and caused an explosion in an attempt to emulate her beloved big brother, the guilt and Darius's poor handling of the situation because of his own family issues causing the friends to split apart. That's not the worst part though. The worst part is that Odalia, being an Oracle, noticed Amity the First's ghost trying to make herself noticed to the two of them, captured her, and used her bound spirit to manipulate both Alador and Darius multiple times. And then, when Amity the Second frees her and restores her memories, she starts vanishing to the afterlife because Alador and Darius's friendship has been repaired, so her unfinished business is done, and only Vee offering herself up as a temporary vessel allows the two a proper farewell.

* The reason that the Wailing Star makes the books in the Bonesborough library come to life? It's the heart of King's mother, and her sorrow at not being able to teach her son the oral traditions of the Titans, and its proximity to a Wellspring, affects the books.

* The Titan arm island that the CATTs build their base on is implied, and later confirmed, to be from King's mother. King doesn't take the news very well, as expected, though he does his best to focus on the fact that her spirit is still around.

* We see more of the Owl Beast's backstory here, and it's ''heartbreaking''. It was thrown out of the group for being a runt by the alpha, AKA their ''mother'', found a mate, only for it to starve to death despite their best efforts to find food for it, the pair's eggs following soon after in the cold, and then of course it was chased down and hunted by an Archivist like in canon.

* Camila left the Divine Realm because she wanted to become a Missionary Angel, but she was born to fulfill a specific role in Crest Kindness, so they wouldn't let her go without giving birth to a replacement, and started pressuring her when she refused.

* Luz in this AU is notably more affected by her lack of friends in the Human Realm, as her attempts at spreading order and helping people have all backfired on her.
* Chapter 2 has Eda and King try to spike Luz with Tearful Tonic so they can use her angelic tears to try and cure the Owl Beast curse and restore King to his "former glory", respectively. Unfortunately, they keep missing her and hit other people, causing Luz to think that she was somehow upsetting people. And of course, it was all unnecessary, since if they had explained ''why'' they had wanted the tears, Luz would have given them to them right away.
* When Luz is sent to the Detention track, she has an emotional breakdown for screwing up on her first day at Hexside, with Bump considering suggesting to Eda that Luz needs therapy.
