* AnAesop: Ray's route has a couple morals the characters learn by the end. Some of which echoes with events that happened in the other routes.
** While you are allowed to tell people of [[DarkAndTroubledPast your rough childhood]], your past does not justify your actions, nor do they excuse them. Especially with the subject of abuse. You are responsible for your actions, not the people and environment around you. Also, hurting others the same way you were hurt before [[YouAreWhatYouHate doesn't make you any different from your aggressors]]. Ray was able to grow out of blaming people around him for being the cause of his misery as he realize how his bad treatment to the MC doesn't make him any different from his abusive mother and tries to change, for the betterment of himself, the MC, and others around him, while Rika wasn't able to realize her abusive behavior as she continues to blame the people around her for her circumstances even at the end of Ray's route as she continues emotionally abusing others. And when pointed out, she reacts in denial.
** As said by Zen in day 10 of this route, before you love someone, you should first learn to love yourself. Only you yourself know what kind of love you wanted for yourself. V had tried to love Rika unconditionally, but that didn't work out because Rika had so much issues that she can't love herself completely, which led to their relationship becoming very toxic and [[spoiler:Rika created Mint Eye as a result to fill the void.]] Additionally, V's guilt complex makes it hard for him to accept that he himself deserves a form of happiness at his own route.
** To love someone means you accept the good and bad parts of them and love them whole. Loving a shadow only brought a ruined relationship. Ultimately, Rika's love for V is more of being interested at the thought that she was loved at all than loving V as a person, part of which deteriorated their relationship. Additionally, getting the good ending for all the routes requires the MC to be [[UnderstandingBoyfriend understanding and supportive]], especially in Saeyoung, V, and Ray's own routes.

* WeedingOutImperfections: In Ray's route, one conversation with Ray has him explain a metaphor about two flowers, one of which is growing taller and healthier because it is 'stealing' nutrients from the smaller flower, and that to save the weaker flower, the bigger one needs to be removed. While on a general level this ties into him being TheSocialDarwinist, it is also used to explain his feelings towards [[spoiler:his brother Saeyong/Seven, who he [[TheResenter resents]] for growing up to become much more successful despite their mutual bad childhood, believing that Seven abandoned him]].

* {{Foreshadowing}}: The prologue/initial chat that involves all of the RFA members (V included) actually hints to several keys points and events that will be important/brought up in [[spoiler:Seven's]] route, which is often suggested to be the very last route you should do if you want to understand the overall plot of the game. This is notable in that the prologue chat is the same, regardless of what story mode you're in.
** After Jaehee tells the protagonist to confess about themselves, Zen asks Jaehee, "Would you voluntarily confess to everything if it were you?" Jaehee responds by saying no, but that it's always good to ask first. [[spoiler:This foreshadows V's final log in the chatroom at the end of Seven's route, where he refuses to tell anyone the truth about Mint Eye when asked by everyone to confess what he knows.]]
** When the protagonist asks who V is, Seven jokingly refers to V as 'the evil mastermind' in the prologue. [[spoiler:Seven refers to V as such again, in his own route this time, in a much more serious moment with none of the playfulness.]]
** V says only someone Rika trusted knows the password to the apartment that the protagonist is in-- and this is ''after'' he says he's never been in her apartment. [[spoiler:This not only hints at Unknown's relationship to Rika, but also goes as far as to foreshadow V and Rika's relationship since V is basically saying Rika didn't trust him--and Secret 01 reveals she didn't, after he told Rika he didn't agree with her 'vision'.]]
** Before the prologue chat ends, Zen says he "had a good night dream last night" about you. [[spoiler:This is a hint at the prophetic dreams Zen will have during his own route and during Secret 02.]]
** In the Another Story common route, Zen auditions for a dramatic musical about a character with a SplitPersonality. Later, it's revealed that [[spoiler:this is the nature of the relationship between Ray and Unknown; rather than Saeran gradually becoming dangerously unhinged in the time period between Another Story and the main game, he switches between his gentle (yet obsessive) and dangerous personas when he takes the elixir Rika gives him.]]
