* WrittenByTheWinners: Zare corrects the history teacher Tralls on events that he was there to witness, namely that the Trade Federation deliberately engineered a famine by suppressing crop harvests in order to render the local population dependent on their medical services—on which they had a monopoly, until the Empire saved the day by nationalizing agriculture and reintroducing the modified crops, only to be contradicted and silenced.

It's worse for Zare's mother, since she's aware that the Empire isn't as benign as they claim and something far worse might have happened to her daughter. Furthermore, her own son is enrolling in an academy of the Galactic Empire, specifically to investigate what happened, and placing himself in very real danger as well.

* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: In ''The Secret Academy'', Leonis is warned by his fellow cadets of the Arkanis Academy that Zarang can't stay off of academic watch and isn't someone he should be around if he wants to advance. Leonis ''does'' want to advance because it's the only way to get into the Commandant's Cadets, which he thinks will help him with his goal of finding his sister. Nevertheless, he accepts Zarang's invitation for the two of them to spend time in Scarparus Port, the only place in the area to go for fun, because Zarang is one of the few people at the academy who had been kind to him.
