* WellIntentionedExtremist: Hisako declares that all unfamiliar fox spirits must be killed, whether or not they're innocent, because they might be allied with the Wild Masters, who have been destroying Hoshimori and stealing from the villagers.

* YouKilledMyFather: The protagonist can seek revenge on Daichi for killing their family if they wish, and it's one of the achievements they can get.
