!!Tropes:
* DarkIsNotEvil: Astaroth may be a demon, but he helps get Ophelia out of her depressed slump.
* INeverToldYouMyName: Astarorth casually mentions Ophelia's name, who replies that she "never told you my-" before concluding that she must be dreaming.
* RecycledPremise: The premise of a depressed woman meeting a supernatural creature is similar to Scraggle's ''Literature/TheGangreneMan'', even if the interactions are not quite the same.
* TitleDrop: Not for the short itself, but the series title is mentioned when Astaroth notes the people can "always depend of the kindness of devils".
