* The sound Asahi's baseball bat makes as he slowly drags it down across the pavement while walking. With no background music, this is the only sound we hear and it is very unnerving.


** Then there's her general characterization. Imagine a 15 year old girl with a morality and concept of "love" as bizarre as [[Manga/MadeInAbyss Bondrewd]] and as ruthless, manipulative and dissonantly stoic as [[Manga/{{Monster}} Johan]] -- that's Satou in a nutshell. As far as protecting Shio is considered, anything arranging from detainment, blackmail, murder and even arson is perfectly fine for her. That's not even getting into how ''corruptive'' she actually is; despite her "love" with Shio is at worst, toxic and possessive, she still gets the last laugh even after her death, because Shio already picked up some of her mannerisms and no longer recognizes her brother Asahi as a caretaker in their reunion, leaving Asahi with literally nothing left even by all circumstances he won. Worst of all? '''She wasn't even trying to emotionally manipulate Shio'''. It's just an absolutely bizarre case of a girl who can't differ grooming from actual parental care.

* The CrapsackWorld setting itself. In this world, it can be expected that anyone who appears normal actually is psychotic. And not only that, almost any sort of crime, including rape, abductions, assault, blackmail and murder can seemingly be committed without repercussion from the law provided one can cover it up or nobody cares to snitch, and police can be easily cowered into uselessness by a crazy woman. It's a wonder why society hasn't collapsed into anarchy already...

** The sheer MoodWhiplash of the moment in the anime cannot be understated. When Shouko snaps the picture of Satou and Shio being happy together outside of the apartment, Satou's DeathGlare IMMEDIATELY comes on and turns in Shouko's direction. Shouko can only stand there frightened as her best friend's demeanor changes from joyful and content to a dark, wordless TranquilFury as she storms over towards her and grabs her by the arm. Cue SoundTrackDissonance and an ending sequence that culminates in a truly horrifying murder.

* Even if you ignore the fact that Satou is a minor dating Shio, another minor with a ''7-year age gap'', their relationship is still incredibly unpleasant. She cages Shio at her apartment and forbids her from interacting with other humans, as if she was a pet or a private possession and not a free human being. It's an abusive dynamic that can be easily summed up as flat-out grooming. It would be less disturbing and bizarre if Satou was just grooming and/or emotionally manipulating Shio for the sake of herself because at least she would have a comprehensible motive like the Princess Imperial Manager or Shio's biological mom, but it's clear that she doesn't. This ''is'' her own way of caring about her -- '''she simply couldn't comprehend why it's so awful, borderline abusive and/or dehumanizing'''.
