9	* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler:The Piglet apparently dies and joins its master in the afterlife.]]
10	* DrivenToSuicide: Apparently, the piglet, seeing as it had gone to a butcher wanting to be a meat. The Butcher turns him away.
11	* ForegoneConclusion: We have some layer of this, earlier in the story, when the Master starts getting a mysterious pain in his back and, after awhile, he's made to go to the doctor, who informs he's to be hospitalized. Things go downhill for the Piglet from there.
