*** You can ask the nurse at the front desk about Liz. [[spoiler: Her response is that she doesn't know a Liz, but that she can't be expected to keep track of all the nurses that work there. It's a great piece of dialogue that fits perfectly with her overworked persona, and doesn't tip the player off at all that Liz is dead. Well, not until later.]]

* {{Wangst}}: Susan is very guilty of this early on in the story. Justified as she is suffering from depression, had recently been [[spoiler: brought back from the dead]], and has several serial killers or dangerous people endangering her life and others around her. [[spoiler: In the Epilogue, Susan has finally learned to take control in her life and is implied to be on the road to recovery from depression.]]

* HarsherInHindsight: Susan's hatred of flowers was pretty prominent, but one could assume it was just because she wasn't a huge fan of them. [[spoiler: However, we discover in later chapters that Susan's baby died from a rare pollen allergy, triggered by the flowers Susan's stalker had given her.]] Thus explaining her hatred towards them.
