Line 24:
* [[Chekhov's Gun]]: Related with the [[Foregone Conclusion]]. {{spoiler|The first novel begins by giving us the suicide statistics on Japan. You don't understand what to do with that information until the end, ''just before'' those statistics are repeated again...}}
* [[Crazy Prepared]]: Setsumi.
* [[Cutesy Dwarf]]: Setsumi is noted for her childlike appearance, and Yuka can be seen as one too (see [[ManchildMan Child]] below). Chihiro may also qualify. Himeko is a tiny girl too in the illustrations, but for some reason no one mentions it directly in the novel.
* [[Determinator]]: The protagonist, while suffering lack of medication and fatigue, is able to drive the car for a whole week with only small rest and not so healthy diet.
** Though according to one of the translators, this may just be a case of the author taking some creative liberties as to what a person with untreated terminal lung cancer is able to accomplish. See below.
Line 43:
* {{spoiler|[[Let Them Die Happy]]}}: {{spoiler|Both the protagonist and Setsumi discovers several things along the way, and both of them will die with happy memories that they share.}}
* [[Light Novel]]: A light novel adaption was written by the original author with its story modified to incorporate elements from Narcissu 2.
* [[ManchildMan Child]]: Yuka.
* [[Morality Pet]]: {{spoiler|The girl in Himeko's flashback. Her sudden change of behavior caused Himeko to turn cynical and abandon her faith in God as a Roman Catholic. Himeko spends time with Setsumi to relive her days as a hospice nurse with the girl.}}
* [[My Greatest Failure]]: {{spoiler|Himeko unable to advise the girl she is in charge with to stop starving to death, after the girl learns that her parents abandoned her and she would eventually die. This event causes Himeko to stop believing in God.}}
