** Many other instances of non-human ways of thinking are pointed out throughout the book. This includes the ability to accept new, worldview-changing information at the drop of a dime, rather than arguing or being angry about it; that's important, near the end.
* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]: The fact that Hauberin and Alliar are very close while not the least homosexual is pointed out repeatedly. As Alliar explains it, "flesh games" are, to him, as foreign as someone trying to smell colors. Kinda sad that this sort of intimate yet sexless relationship can't be relayed without repeated lampshade hangings nowadays.

'''Matilde:''' I don't see what-- Oh. It's that foreign to you?<br />
'''Alliar:''' It's that foreign. }}
* [[Karmic Death]]: {{spoiler|Charailis kills herself}} by the backlash of power during an assassination attempt.
