* SoundtrackDissonance: A rather subtle and effective one. The sound of Isaac reading ''The Tale of Peter Rabbit'' is played over the visuals of Claire escaping from her cell. ''The Tale of Peter Rabbit'' is about a rabbit that has to continually escape from a Mr [=McGregor=], who ''ate Peter's father.''

** However, Claire is clearly under the impression that the only reason Drogen was keeping her prisoner was that he intended to use her as a sex slave. The way that she gets him to fetch medical supplies is to point out to him that if she falls ill and dies, he won't have any "company", and she touches his arm suggestively. She seems to have been right, because that's what makes him leave the apartment to get the supplies. Even if these aren't his intentions, he ''is'' keeping her locked in a cell, so he's not exactly "keeping her more or less prisoner": she ''is'' a prisoner. When he comes back and finds she's escaped, he immediately attacks her.

* DisproportionateRetribution: Drogen was keeping Claire more or less prisoner, but he was feeding her and willingly went to get her medical supplies when he thought she was injured. In order to escape and get back to her kids, she stabs and shoots him, killing him.
