* Sylvester's SanitySlippage throughout the later arcs make him a danger to himself and everyone around him. He's completely aware that it's happening, but is unable to stop it. It reaches the point where he's got no real idea what's real or not, and ends up having to bargain with his own hallucinations in the hope that they won't make him harm his friends.

* Partway through arc 18, Professor Ferres tells Sylvester something he really doesn't like hearing, so he snaps and surgically cuts off both of her arms and a leg. When we see the aftermath, not only does Sy not remember doing this, he's hallucinating again and can't tell if he actually dismembered the professor or not. His mental state goes downhill to the point that at the end of the arc, he spends over a day sitting in one place hallucinating his allies dying, and when the Lambs finally come to him, all he can do is ask over and over if people really died and if he really killed them.

* Arc 11 also informs us that the stitched are now advanced enough that most of their brains is maintained through the procedure, implying that there could still be something ''aware and alive'' left in them, but [[AndIMustScream incapable of disobeying or controlling their own body]]. In the same chapter, we're introduced to a character who keeps said advanced stitched for sexual use.

* The Duke was terrifying enough in his displays of what absolute sovereignty means in the Twigverse, but we soon find out that he's the closest thing to a ReasonableAuthorityFigure the nobles have; the Baron Richmond is a complete AxCrazy sadist who seems to have no pleasures in life beyond tormenting others, and he has carte blanche from the Crown, the Academy and the law to do whatever he wants to non-nobles, and his physical superiority to un-modified humans makes him virtually invincible even if anyone dared to oppose him. In Arc 9 he [[spoiler: stabs out one of Sy's eyes]] completely on a whim, forbids him from getting it replaced and orders him to tell anyone who asks that he lost it because he was an imbecile who dared to look a noble in the eye and admit failure. By the time this happens, we've seen enough to know that he can be quite confident that these commands will be obeyed by most people.
