Aaron is thunderstruck when the Librarian reveals that they changed the recipe from powdered eggs to adding an egg yourself.

* NightmareFuel: ''Everyone'' forgetting you. Doubles as ParanoiaFuel.
** Everything about Man in Suit, especially what he's made of and what he can do to people.
** The descriptions of those corrupted by hopelessness; they have dull, vacant eyes.
** The advance reading copy has a line deleted from the retail copy where Mal reflects on how, in his dream, if the force at the door had just knocked he might have let it in.
** Man in Suit's lectures to the heroes at the end, which even terrify the characters.
-->"In this building, you are deep inside me," Man in Suit said, "and I am deep inside you. I can see what you think, own you a little bit, even if I can not have you completely. Yet."
** ''What We Become'' ramps up the terror factor with [[spoiler: The Old Man's ability to control people, and his plan being to simply kill those he can't control]].
** ''What We Become'' also has Rose, who takes ClingyJealousGirl to horrifying levels when she tries to [[spoiler: replace Mal's memories of Laura with herself]].
** What happens to Laura in ''What We Become''; she seemingly has her old life back, with no memories of the events or people from ''Those That Wake''. [[spoiler: And then it turns out that Remak and Mal robbed her of them, mistakenly believing it was for her best interests]]. She outright compares it to MindRape.
