Suikoden V/Fridge

Fridge Brilliance

 * At the end of the game, Lu becomes Babbage's assistant while Sorensen gets pushed to the side. It might seem like he's being unfairly treated, but in truth, it's most likely because Sorensen learned all he could under the tutelage of Babbage, and so he got assigned menial tasks until after the end of the game, where he gets sent to research gears in a mountainous area. Meanwhile, Lu had enthusiasm for the subject and was willing to learn, so Babbage taught her instead while Sorensen kept trying to suck up to Babbage instead of trying to learn more on his own. In the end he wasn't being treated unfairly by Babbage, Babbage just knew Sorensen would rather live in the professor's shadow and took on someone else until he had a good excuse to make Sorensen think for himself.

Fridge Horror

 * Visit Rainwall after and talk to some of the NPCs. These people have clearly been put through trials of their own.
