15	!!This work contains the following tropes:
16	* BrokenBird: This becomes the focal point of Monica's character arc, with Keith's death serving as the catalyst. As the story progresses she slowly becomes agitated, more impatient, and even more willing to kill at the expense of her skeleton entourage feeling worried for her well-being.
17	* ILoveTheDead: Monica shows this with rather poor timing. Right after Keith's death, she uses her singing ability to bring back his soul and immediately strips to get it on with her dead husband, bones and all.
18	* TheMafia: The Morgia family; they're the ones who are in charge of running Fortune Waters and keeping tabs on collections and recent actions of other crime syndicates.
