** Alice's life in general. She's burning away photos of the normal life she had, which include having a husband, son and even losing ties with her sister Margaret. She knows on a personal level that Travis had to have killed her sister in order to get to her...which means that in addition to finally escaping this cycle one can interpret that she and Margaret are TogetherInDeath.

* In a lot of ways, Travis' aversive nature towards Shinobu. For the little time they're seen together in the story, Travis spends most of it pushing her away, telling her he doesn’t need her help, and when they finally get an intimate moment together, he gets cold feet and pulls back, likening the situation to a teacher x student porno. You can tell Shinobu is heartbroken as she solemnly makes her leave, possibly to never be seen again by Travis or any of his associates, and it really goes to show just how consumed by his pursuit of revenge he's become.

* Skelter Helter is a rather tragic character all things considered - he ''isn't'' a glory hound or natural killer like a lot of assassins in the UAA, he's just a college kid who wants revenge for his brother's death and is clearly consumed by it. He's an unfortunate casualty of Travis's journey and ultimately gets killed by it due to very little fault of his own. It's not much better that his brother's whole motivation was keeping him ''out'' of the assassination scene so he could have a better path in life, but [[NiceJobBreakingItHero Travis borked all of that]] and he dies as a mere afterthought, without even making much of himself.
