* You know the gun Mina fires at Robin after breaking into Myron's boat, thinking it's a toy? [[spoiler: It looks very similar to the gun used on one of the pupils in the Tower, and furthermore, its projectile is the same as the Starworm's MindRape beam.]] Why is this horrifying?

* During the game Royal reveals to Robin how the transcendence process works, [[spoiler: failed candidates are "consumed by the Ivory". Later while infiltrating the concern we get to see what this looks like as Robin heads below a room full of transcendence machines and is forced to wade through a slurry of Ivory and human remains to claim a key]].

to:

* The Ivory shortage might seem like a plot hole, given that Ivory is produced when a Transcendence fails, as the person's body [[ImMelting wastes away into it.]] The logical means to solve the issue is to use Transcendence as a means of burial, but no one even mentions the idea. But when you see how selfish Mother is, it starts to make sense. There would be a chance the corpse would come back to life as an Agent or a Medium, and then try to usurp her with their new powers. She's trying to prevent a PhlebotinumRebel from being created.

** Furthermore, [[spoiler: The shadow representing Agent Black is the only one that can be directly attacked and easily avoided until it fades on its own. As Robin is using a stun-gun, her desire to fix that situation involved being able to avoid killing Black by either knocking her out or leaving the area entirely. Alternatively, it could symbolize her realizing that Black was in so much pain and so far gone that there was no way to help her other than delivering a MercyKill.]]

** Likely, [[spoiler:the pilot would fly off trying to find another fuel depot while the planet's death is accelerated due to the lack of Ivory. He'd probably prefer a depot that hasn't been colonized by humans]].

* Further involving the final boss, the theme of the last phase is titled "Castle Doctrine", which is the same name as a particular legal doctrine which states that, in certain circumstances, force up to and including lethal force may be used to repel invaders from one's property with no legal consequence. [[spoiler:Consider how The Birdman sees things. As far as he knows, the planet is his fuel depot (or at least he has the right to use it as such), and humans just showed up out of nowhere one day and started using the Ivory in it. From his perspective, he's the one the castle doctrine applies to!]]
