* NiceMeanAndInBetween: The three personalities in Coldstone. Desdemona is the nice one, being devoted to her mate and helping Goliath. Iago is explicitly evil, wanting Desdemona for himself and perfectly content for his brothers to die in the process. Othello is the in-between, valuing those he cares about but suffering from anger and paranoia that makes it easy for him to be manipulated.
* RayOfHopeEnding: Though Coldstone is deactivated, Goliath expresses certainty that Othello and Desdemona will return and rejoin the clan someday. The final shot is of the two gliding through the shared mind space and holding hands.

Goliath seems to think this at first, but his mental instability is really due to anger at first, and then later from the circumstances of having three souls (one of whom was evil) sharing one body.
