* The Crooked Man generally goes after David, but if Sissi, D, or Fluffy are around, he prefers going after them and trying to kill them much to David's confusion. [[spoiler:When you learn that Sissi, D, and Fluffy are "facets" of Duke, it makes perfect sense. Sissi has regrets over lost love, D has regrets over failed dreams, and Fluffy's been abandoned. These are all the aspects of Duke that ultimately led to his giving up on life; it makes perfect sense that he hates them even more than he hates David.]]
* When you have to save David from [[spoiler:killing himself]], trying to [[spoiler:talk him out of it doesn't work]] and neither does [[spoiler:trying to grab for the gun]]. You'd think that Paul would be the one person David would listen to and [[spoiler:talking him down]] should have worked… but then you realize [[spoiler:that David isn't acting entirely out of his own free will; he's being possessed by the Crooked Man]]. [[spoiler:Earlier, David had to talk to D to calm him down and trying to talk gently to him enrages D. D and the Crooked Man are part of the same person, and since talking gently to D didn't work earlier and the only way David's been able to drive away the Crooked Man has been through violence, it makes sense that since Paul is having to deal with the Crooked Man now, he can't be too nice talking to David and has to use violence to free him from the Crooked Man's control.]]
* Avoiding the Bad End in Sissi's chapter seems a bit like {{Violation of Common Sense}} and {{Stupidity is the Only Option}}... until you recall not long before this that David had a flashback to Shirley leaving him, calling him a "yes man". In other words, he often said what he thought people wanted to hear, not what they truly needed to. Giving Sissi the "Please don't cry" response is David trying to tell her what he thinks he's supposed to say, not what he truly thinks or feels regarding the situation.
* How do you get the good end? By [[spoiler:being honest]] to all the characters you meet. In other words, [[spoiler:giving them [[StealthPun straight]] answers]].
* The Bad Ends during the first two chapters almost seem like an arbitrary punishment for simply picking the wrong choice when prompted. However, given that the game hints at, and even explains this through Paul, the Crooked Man is also trying to save David from the fate he's well on his way towards. Picking the wrong options essentially amounts to David not learning anything and remaining the meek "yes man" that Shirley accused him of being and left him over. Picking those choices means he's remaining on the same path that the Crooked Man hates him for and has him kill him.
