* AbusiveParent: Sarah Ruth and Bryce's father doesn't take any sort of care for them. He broke Sarah Ruth's only doll, and didn't even care enough to get her a new one because she's doing to die soon.

She's only mentioned once, but that one mention implies she was a much better parent than their abusive, neglectful father, as she used to dance with Sarah Ruth, which she loved.
* DespairEventHorizon: [[spoiler: Edward reaches this once Sarah Ruth dies, and he decides her death was so painful that he won't ever allow himself to love again.]]
