** [[HarsherInHindsight The ending scene can hit much harder]] to anyone who has owned a pet, especially a dog.
** The lyrics of the song in general when you read the english translation also hit like a truck after this episode, with Nana reflecting her past and mistakes and whether she can be atoned for her sins:
-> "The meaning of being born
->I wonder if we will ever find out
->The promised land has long been gone
->If I was allowed
->Love, love,
->I would've liked to know love
->If you could just yell out to me that everything in this world is a lie
->Maybe just a little bit, just a little bit
->I will forgive this world just a little bit"

* It's hard not to feel at least a ''little'' bad for Nanao when we figure out he's not only nearly gets killed but manipulated into becoming the exact kind of person Nana was set up to kill. He loses his father after learning that the man still loved him despite his harsh and abusive behavior, betrayed by someone he considered a friend, and upon getting revived learns that this very same friend was ''happy'' to do so and works under ''the people who saved him''. And then they brainwash him afterward to twist the knife. While he progressively becomes more villainous after his powers grow and start aligning with Tsuruoka, it is understandable since his whole worldview was shattered.
