** [[spoiler: In chapter 17, similar imagery is used for Val and D. This may imply that eventually Rire will succeed in grooming D, have his way with him, and D will either kill himself or be under Rire’s thumb forever.]]
** Rire has three powers; healing, resurrection, and teleportation. D is only shown to have two. [[spoiler: It is possible that D has a third power, but like the other two it’s probably not a very moral power.]]

** If a person is very good at lying and covering their tracks, they can get away with almost anything and keep doing awful things.
** Sometimes it doesn’t matter how much you want to do good, life can still get in the way of your efforts.

Added DiffLines:
* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation:
** Why did Rire [[spoiler: keep the photo of Val with the last part of the suicide note on the back? Did he want to keep it as a trophy? Did he actually care about her more than he thinks he does? Or did he keep it to use a sympathy points if someone asked about Val’s suicide?]]
**Does Monroe really care for his son despite what he says? Or does he only see Blair as his property, which makes his concern for him based on possessiveness and not actual love?

* GrowingTheBeard: The story starts to really pick up around chapters 6 - 8.
* IronWoobie: Monroe possibly, if you can look past the awful things that he’s done. It’s implied that his parents were abusive. In high school, after he stopped being a bully he was still ostracized by everyone at school until Rire let him join his group of friends, but the other kids in that group mistrusted him and possibly never grew to like him. After high school he married a woman who treated him like a conversation piece. And his son, [[spoiler: despite surviving the Hedone explosion, has Locked In Syndrome and asked Monroe to kill him.]] Despite all of this, he takes everything in stride more or less.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: It would’ve been interesting if Desmond had a bigger role in the fanfic, considering that he doesn’t get much attention in canon, and [[spoiler: due to what happened with Izm and how a relationship with Desmond could’ve affected D throughout the story.]]
* TheWoobie: D and Val are the biggest examples, but they aren’t the only ones.
* WheelchairWoobie: Desmond can get out of his wheelchair, but he still needs to use one for this rest of his life. And though he has been handling the Hedone explosion rather well, the trauma he’s been through makes him a very tragic figure. [[spoiler: At least until his memories of Izm’s death get erased.]]
