** While Satoru and Ayase were having a private conversation at the pool, Hazuki was demonstrating her Astra powers, then two male students get into a fight, and Hazuki was trying to get them to stop. Then they insult her and she uses her water powers on them, which causes a wave. The water gets on Ayase and washes off one of her pads, and Satoru could see her nipple in view, which prompts him to get the missing pad and escorting Ayase to her office. It took Ayase a while to realize what he was trying to do.

** While infiltrating Kikka Academy, Saturo's power is obscured by being officially classified as physical enhancement, rather than neural manipulation, to give him an advantage. [[spoiler:On Mayu's route, he's forced to reveal the truth to Principal Ise and why he hid his power, in order to proceed with the research on the cure for control-loss. On Ayase's route, his hiding of his power saves his life because Kaori assumes that the control-loss drug will kill him if she administers a massive overdose, but between Nanami's healing and Saturo's neural manipulation, they are able to suppress the effect the drug has on his brain.]]

* {{Foreshadowing}}: The game is rife with it, to the point that individual characters' routes have their own foreshadowing for things that happen in other routes.
** There is a lot of discussion about the incident two years previously where a crane collapsed in a storm, which led to Ayase's rise to fame in rescuing many people. What actually happened there become central to Mayu and Ayase's storylines.
** Early on, Kaori shows unexpected skill at pickpocketing when she steals a student's phone when he was taking lewd pictures of the girls in bikinis. [[spoiler:This is because she's actually a government agent associated with the anti-Astral faction, and she later uses this to pickpocket Ayase.]]
** Ayase's power is [[ForgotAboutHisPowers oddly selective and many times she fails to use it to protect herself or someone else.]] This is because [[spoiler:she has to take a specific drug to activate her abilities, and didn't have time to take it in those situations.]]

* HollywoodHacking:
** Inverted for much of the story. The vast majority of Nanami's hacking is realistic, as it requires her to get physical access to computers, run hacking tools, use exploits, and so on. RapidFireTyping is brought up and debunked. She does note that security is tight and she can't hack into the research center on Kikka's campus without physical access, and she has to be careful with messing with security systems lest someone immediately notice her presence.
** It is also mentioned that the AIMS database is air-gapped so it cannot be remotely accessed, but the security for the database is remarkably weak so it is easy to get to once she has physical access. On Ayase's route, Nanami realizes that [[spoiler:the security was left intentionally weak so anyone with access to the database can easily use it to alter the files on Astrals.]]
** On Mayu's route, the thing that tips her off [[spoiler: to Saturo's spying is that Nanami was unable to wipe ''all'' of the logs involving the use of Mayu's spoofed keycard.]]


Added DiffLines:

* RevealingCoverup: On Ayase's route, Satoru and Nanami discover that [[spoiler: someone has been actively tampering with the AIMS database when they discover they can't access earlier versions of various files - indicating someone was actively deleting them. Nanami then concludes - correctly - that the AIMS database had been designed with intentionally weak security to allow someone to do this at will.]]
