Added DiffLines:

* BullyHunter: Brutus Kowalski, one of Andy's high school friends, acts like this whenever bullying takes place within his earshot. He actually first met Andy when a bunch of senior students were about to teach him about his place in the school food chain. Considering Brutus himself at first glance looks like a high-profile jock, his behaviour can surprise those that don't know him.


Added DiffLines:

* GroinAttack: How young Miranda takes one of her bullies down when he isn't paying attention.


Added DiffLines:

* MissedHimByThatMuch: Andy, who went out of touch with Miranda sometime between their high school years and the beginning of the story, missed her twice by a blink of the eye: first, she walks by his car in a mall parking lot when he's sitting inside of it lost in thought, then she walks past a photo store he's in when his back is facing the window displays.


Added DiffLines:

* RescueRomance: This is how Andy first met Miranda and what was foundation for their future relationship. [[spoiler: One day when playing in the schoolyard, young Andy witnessed two bullies pestering her and decided to intervene. While his action quickly turned against him due to their physical superiority, he created enough of a distraction for Miranda to suckerpunch both of their oppressors and take cover far, far away. Andy's bravery instantly warmed Miranda up to him and they became nearly inseparable for most of their childhoods.]]
