Line 56:
** On the flipside, Saki may have been an abusive piece of shit, but she was still Kousei's mother, and the death of a parent can be badly traumatising. Kousei has little emotional support; friends, no matter how close, can only be so much help, and Kousei's father is away at work almost all the time while he has no siblings. Whatever one thinks of Kaori's methods, this rut wasn't something Kousei could have gotten out of by himself.
** Kaori is an [[Ill Girl]] with {{spoiler|a terminal degenerative illness.}} Late in the series, some hope appears in the form of {{spoiler|a high-risk surgery.}} You'd think that since she's the love interest and made a promise to play together with Kousei again, everyone is going to work out, right? It doesn't, because reality doesn't load the dice even though you check the boxes of narrative convention.
* In ''[[Fireworks]]'' (2017), it quickly becomes apparent that Nazuna doesn't have a plan for running away. Unlike a more traditional story where convention would have her and Norimichi getting into shenanigans and still managing to slip through the fingers of the opposition, here she gets caught almost immediately. If not for the time-reversing bauble, the film would have ended right there.
