* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Did Brian truly love Sam, as the journal outright says, or was [[spoiler: Kyle right about Brian simply amusing himself with a naive girl who went along with whatever he did? For good measure, no mention is ever made about Brian's reaction to Sam's death, making it seem like he saw her as easily replaceable. However, since the journal is written from ''Kyle's'' perspective, it's likely that Brian did have a heart-wrenched reaction to her death, but Kyle simply did not want to acknowledge any strong feelings that his crush had for another person.]]
