* LoveHurts: All over the place. Regardless of which ending you'd get, one girl will always end up with the shorter end of the stick after going through so many painful things for the sake of love. Not even Haruki comes out unscathed.
* OnlyFriend: Putting her love for Haruki aside, Setsuna is this to Kazusa, as she is, and always will be, the very first person Kazusa could truly call her first and best friend, being the only person Kazusa has ever opened up to willingly after much optimistic prodding from Setsuna. [[spoiler: It's because of this and how dear Setsuna is to her that Kazusa is very reluctant to pursue a relationship with Haruki, wanting her best friend to be happy with the person she loves. So when Kazusa learns that Haruki actually reciprocated her love and decided to spend a night of passion with her ''on the eve of Setsuna's birthday no less'', you can imagine the amount of heavy guilt she felt knowing that she willingly betrayed the first person she could ever truly call a friend.]]
