HitmanWithAHeart: Both of the title characters are pleasant, friendly girls aside from their profession. It's why they feel reluctant to kill The Guy upon receiving kindness from him.

* UnusuallyUninterestingSight:
UnusuallyUninterestingSight: The Guy's only reaction to seeing two girls with guns asleep on his couch is to cover them with a blanket. It's [[JustifiedTrope justified]] as he's a kind man, and expected people with guns to come after him (he robbed a gang).
