Line 98:
* The [[Tales of the Otori]] series ends with a fairly spectacular disaster that was considerably worsened by {{spoiler|Takeo not telling Kaede that he had gotten another woman pregnant when he left her and thought they would never see each other again.}} It is worth noting that there were ''sixteen years'' during which this information could have been imparted, but every time he considered telling her he kept putting it off. He does, at least, fully acknowledge how stupid he's been, but by then it's too late to solve the problem.
* In the ''[[Wars of Light and Shadow]]'', the Koriathain Order had been searching for the Waystone of the Koriathain, an enormous [[Crystal Ball]] that could amplify their power immensely, for five centuries. Upon learning that Sethvir of the Fellowship had it, they try breaking into his tower and seizing it by force. After being violently repelled by the wards, they are forced to ask him for the return of the Waystone when he returns from a business trip. At which point he mentions that they had asked for the return of the stone (Or assistance in finding it) at any point in the 500 years since they had misplaced it, they would have given it back without any fuss.
* Downplayed in the novel ''[[Around the World In 80 Days]]''. In the last scene in the book, Passepartout tells Fogg that they ''could'' have completed the trip in only 79 days, avoiding the rush they had to go through in the second-to-last chapter that resulted in succeeding [[Right on the Tick]]. Fogg sees that this is true, had they not gone through India, but also realizes that had they not done that, he would never have met Aouda, fallen in love with her, and married her, meaning it was for the best that they ''didn't'' avoid that rush.
