* In the bad ending in which you wrongly accuse Hiro, Raiko brings up a plausible but ultimately incorrect scenario- Hiro murdered Momoko and Kamen killed him and his supposed accomplice Kotoba in revenge. The entire thing is tragic enough that even Taiko feels bad for Kamen, despite noting that her actions weren't justified.

* Simply put, the fact that as Raiko points out, all of the tragedy in the game- from Momoko's murders and suicide to the death of Reiko's sister- could have been prevented if people had been willing to listen to others and communicate. Virtually no one in the cast except for Hiro is a bad person, but they all make bad choices as a result of their own flaws, and those who don't lose their lives end up having to live with the consequences.

It can hit close to home for anyone who's lost a family member, a friend, or even an acquaintance, and realizes they'll never see that person again.



* Kamen's Diary B and Extra Scene B give some idea of how much Reiko's death affected Raiko, as well as how much she changed. She used to be a cheerful and playful girl in the past, before becoming the grumpy and almost emotionless person you see for much of the game. The "new" Raiko has virtually nothing in common with the person she used to be, save for her strong sense of justice and willingness to stand up for the falsely accused.

* Momoko's death. The other students frantically rush to save her, only for Mika to bluntly tell them that it's too late, and that she's dead. While it later turns out that she wasn't dead at the time, it gets even worse when you consider that no one, not even those who were in on her "prank," wanted her to die, but she was so broken that she felt the need to kill herself.
* Raiko and Momoko hit it off fairly well despite never having talked to each other much before, and Raiko realizes that with Momoko dead, they'll never have a chance to get to know each other. In fact, it's possible that if Momoko had more friends and wasn't quite as possessive of the few people close to her, she might not have taken Hiro's betrayal so badly.

* In the bad ending in which you wrongly accuse Runa, when she's finally "cornered," she doesn't have a VillainousBreakdown; she simply gives up and sits in the corner until the authorities arrive, similar to the way Kamen shuts down.
