* ShoutOut:
** Several homages are paid to the discography of ''{{Music/Mili}}''. Rosetta and Camellia's names are derived from two songs of the same name, and the "Legs to One, Mind to None" end outright references the song ''Bathtub Mermaid''.
** As per Word of God, the black hands emerging from the well in one route are a reference to the hands of the Space Warlocks from ''WesternAnimation/BeeAndPuppycat''.

** '''Neutral End - Scaredy Cat''': Rosetta chooses to run back into her house after waiting a bit in her garden. Rosetta figures that this option is the best one, in the long run, but also comments about feeling scared at the same time.
** '''Bad End - Legs to One, Mind to None''': Rosetta chooses to give up her legs to Galatea and swap places with her. Several days later, Rosetta's parents--Eugene and Barbara--and her boyfriend Christopher are discussing her disappearance at the parents' house. While Eugene and Christopher discuss among themselves, Barbara notices a strange well in the backyard and calls Eugene and Christopher over to investigate. To their horror, a mermaid with an uncanny resemblance to the late Rosetta emerges, attempting to lure Christopher into the well.
** '''Bad End - La Rosa Blu''': Rosetta rejects Galatea's request to give up her legs. Enraged, Galatea (or rather, an entity mimicking her) sends several black arms after Rosetta, forcing her inside her house. After a short conversation with her cat Camellia, the two rush into the kitchen for a way to stop the oncoming threat. Rosetta chooses a kitchen knife, but it has no effect, as the hands come in faster than Rosetta and Camellia can manage. Rosetta is dragged into the well, where she is promptly consumed.

** '''TrueEnding - All's Well that Ends Well''': After "Galatea" lashes out at Rosetta, Rosetta chooses to combat the entity using sea salt. It proves a success, and Rosetta and Camellia rush into the garden to confront Galatea again, her flesh having decayed as a result of her disguise losing its hold. It's eventually revealed that Galatea the mermaid was never real, but a shell crafted by the demon Pygmalion, the true identity of the well that Galatea resides in. Pygmalion, in a desperate measure, tries to talk Rosetta out of hurting him, but Rosetta isn't willing to fall for his lies anymore, and she feeds the last of the sea salt to him, killing him. The authories are called to clean the aftermath, and some time later, Rosetta gets engaged to the moth fairy Christopher. Rosetta is later shown at Galatea's grave, giving her condolences.
