!!Shizuki's Route
* The death of Kagemaru's parents at the hand of Keijiro. Made worse by the fact that Kagemaru never knew how they really died and grew up wanting to finish what his parents' murderer started.
!!Kuro's Route
* Kuro's entire backstory, which we got a glimpse of in the "Embracing Lost Nightmares" event described below. He parents were killed because they were nue, and his grandmother, who raised him, was also killed, and he asked an onmyoji to seal him away. Hiroyuki was Kuro's first friend, who broke his seal, but when Kuro showed his true form in order to save Hiroyuki's life, Hiroyuki got scared and believed that Kuro later sent ayakashi to ruin his village (which was really Hisui's doing). After that, Kuro kept wandering, getting hurt by humans, until he ran into the Lorenzi circus troupe.
* The protagonist sees Kuro's true form and doesn't realize it's him at first, so she gets scared. When she realizes that it was Kuro, she feels really bad and thinks Kuro might hate her.
