* {{Tearjerker}}: Erica's situation in the novel is pretty grim. Although she grows close to Changez, she still thinks of and misses her deceased boyfriend Chris. This leaves her in states where her mind wanders and, as Changez sees it, willingly submerged herself in nostalgia. Her subsequent breakdown and [[spoiler:disappearance and possible suicide]] only make it worse, for the impact it has on Changez.
