* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: On the receiving end of two regarding his writing. His father believes that his work is only good for readers of his chosen genre. His editor has long since lost patience with his going over the word limit with irrelevant ruminations about his childhood, and would have fired him if not for him being friends with the editor's boss.

Added DiffLines:

* FlatCharacter: Although Katie is clearly accomplished and writes happy postcards to her family, we don't learn anything about her.


Added DiffLines:

* GenderBlenderName: Although called Samantha, she's almost always known as Sam.


Added DiffLines:

* RapeAsBackstory: One possibly interpretation of Oscar's "transgression".


Added DiffLines:

* LovingAShadow: It's clear that Jan didn't know the guy who worked for her and seems to have mostly gotten carried away with the fantasy of it until she comes back down to earth.


Added DiffLines:

* AbusiveParents: If the notes he wrote to Terry are anything to go by, Richard was a distant and dismissive father at best.
* HonorThyAbuser: One possible interpretation of the implication that he really does love his son and ''is'' trying to help him, although in a very misguided way.


Added DiffLines:

* GenderBlenderName: Although a nickname for Yolanda in the game, "Lonnie" is most commonly a boys' name.
